Fertility
Conditions
Brief summary
Embryo implantation is a crucial event in the establishment of a pregnancy. Although the clinical and culture conditions to obtain a good quality embryo are well advanced today, endometrial receptivity remains a major barrier in assisted reproductive techniques. Once a high-quality embryo is transferred, impaired uterine receptivity is believed to be one of the major reasons behind failure of the establishment of pregnancy.
Interventions
AdhesioRT, a novel diagnostic genetic assay, developed by ovo R&D scientists, helps to predict the endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation.

Study design
Intervention model description
Participants will be randomized in either the study group - AdhesioRT or in the control group - standard of care. All participants recruited, including the control group, will have the AdhesioRT biopsies performed.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Women between the ages of 18 to 40 inclusive at the time of oocyte retrieval * Prescription of a single frozen embryo transfer - substituted cycle protocol * Participant has at least 2 vitrified good quality blastocysts
Exclusion criteria
* Women undergoing fertility preservation * Stage IV severe endometriosis * Severe malformation, adenomyosis or uterine anomaly including fibroids deforming the uterine cavity ≥ 5 cm * Positive results of screening for either participant or partner for HIV antibodies, Hepatitis B (other than surface antibodies present after vaccination) or Hepatitis C
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Determination of appropriate window of implantation | 14 days after embryo transfer | Comparison between standard frozen embryo transfer and personalized frozen embryo transfer using AdhesioRT to determine a successful window of implantation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of clinical pregnancy | 14 days after embryo transfer | Blood test to determine if the embryo transfer was successful or not |
