ERA® Endometrial Receptivity Analysis

The ERA test evaluates the patient’s endometrial receptivity to determine their unique window of implantation.

  • Technical Overview
  • Scientific evidence
  • I’m not a health specialist

72.5%*pregnancy rate using ERA in the first IVF cycle in any patient

Supported by 16 internal and 10 external  publications

  • Benefits
  • Indications

What is the ERA Test?

  • The Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA), developed and patented by Igenomix (PCT/ ES2009/000386), is a test designed to evaluate endometrial receptivity.  
  • The ERA test has been shown to be highly sensitive and specific in the detection of genetic expression profiles associated with receptivity. It allows a patient’s personalized window of implantation to be detected and applied to their future frozen embryo transfers.  

ERA RCT CONCLUSIONS 

Our randomised study shows that customising embryo transfer to the day of the cycle on which the patient is receptive has better results than transferring on a standard day.

What is the procedure?

ERA Methodology
  • The ERA utilizes RNA obtained from an endometrial tissue sample.  The RNA  analyzed and then classified by our ERA predictor as receptive or non-receptive, depending on the expression profile of the RNA.
  • If the endometrium is non-receptive, the test enables us to find a personalized window of implantation for each patient in the majority of cases. 

Why use ERA test?

  • This molecular diagnostic tool uses NGS to analyze the expression level of 248 genes related to the status of endometrial receptivity.
  • 72.5%* pregnancy rate using ERA in the first IVF cycle in any patient.
  • ERA is backed by 25 publications; 16 from Igenomix and 9 external publications.
  • Proprietary algorithm based on machine learning that minimizes the need for second biopsy (90% of cases).
  • Allows clinicians to identify transition phases with 12 hours shifts.
  • Randomized clinical trial (NCT01954758) RCT proves cumulative live birth rate increases +16 points VS classic frozen blastocyst transfer in first appointment patients:

Who should use ERA test?

  • ERA test is indicated for patients with implantation to failure of endometrial origin.
  • Clinical studies, at different stages of development, are exploring the indication for ERA in first-visit IVF patients..

When to perform ERA to your Patient?

ERA-biopsy

When is a second biopsy needed?

90 % of cases don’t need a second biopsy. The second biopsy is only required under two circumstances:

  • Patients with a “Pre-receptive 2 days” result needing 2 more days with progesterone.
  • Patients with a “Post-receptive” result.
