Fertility Preservation in Male AYA With Cancer
Optimizing Fertility Preservation and Decision Quality in Male AYA With Cancer: A Family-centered Intervention
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Very little is known about how medical providers can help adolescent and young adults (AYAs) and their caregivers make decisions about fertility preservation (sperm banking) before beginning cancer treatment. The purpose of this study is to see if having a guided conversation about fertility preservation increases preservation rates and/or satisfaction with the decision among AYA males with cancer. The primary hypothesis is that compared to standard of care control group (routine fertility consult at diagnosis, n=20), AYAs in the intervention arm (routine fertility consult at diagnosis + FP Decision Tool and Facilitated Conversation by trained interventionist) will have higher rates of FP uptake. The secondary hypothesis is that families in the intervention group will report better FP decision quality compared to those in the control arm.
