RCT to Assess the Clinical Benefit of the ERA Test in Infertile Women at Their First IVF/ICSI Cycle

Endometrial receptivity takes place in a self-limited period of time during the endometrial mid-secretory stage. This period, named as window of implantation (WOI), is modulated by molecular changes allowing embryo implantation to take place. It has been already demonstrated the existence of transcriptomic profiles that are characteristics of each endometrial phase: pre-receptive, receptive and post-receptive. 'Igenomix' group developed a molecular tool able to classify the endometrium based on its transcriptomic profile, the Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA). This molecular tool analyses, by next generation sequencing (NGS), the expression of 248 genes related to implantation coupled to a computational predictor to identify the specific transcriptomic profile for each endometrial stage. This test has been applied at clinical level from 2010, helping to synchronize a viable embryo with a receptive endometrium through the personalized embryo transfer (pET). It aims to improve clinical implantation by personalizing, diagnosing, and synchronizing the endometrial factor. Our goal in this project is to investigate at what extent, if any, the analysis of the endometrial factor, at receptivity level, in patients at their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle improves their clinical outcome through a personalized embryo transfer by the ERA test in comparison to embryo transfer(FET).
