Our Infertility Portfolio

INFERTILITY TREATMENT
FemaSeed logo

FemaSeed is the latest in artificial insemination technology, engineered to precisely deliver sperm into the fallopian tube, the site of conception, to enhance natural fertilization.  As a highly cost-effective approach that carries notably reduced risks compared to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), FemaSeed is positioned as a first-line therapeutic option. 

FemaSeed has regulatory approvals in the U.S., Europe and Canada.

Clinical Data

Trial Design: 
Prospective, multi-center, unblinded pivotal clinical trial with historical control.  Conducted under FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval.  NCT0468847

Top-Line Results6:

Primary Endpoint

(for male-factor/unexplained fertility (1-20 million total motile sperm count, TMSC))

  • Pregnancy rate was 26.3% by subject (n=38) and 17.5% by cycle (n=57)

FemaSeed demonstrated a significantly higher pregnancy rate than the historical control (6.7% pregnancy rate by cycle for intrauterine insemination (IUI) with male factor (greater than 1 million TMSC)).*

Safety

  • Adverse events were consistent with IUI.

Market Research

Number of participants:  1,000 infertile women

  • More than 7 in 10 women were extremely or very likely to consider insemination with FemaSeed
  • For those who received IVF, 88% would have preferred FemaSeed prior to moving on to IVF
  • 85% who received IUI would have preferred FemaSeed instead of IUI
