Natera, Inc. (Symbol: NTRA) is a leading diagnostic and research company based in San Carlos, CA, driven by a commitment to advance the science and application of prenatal testing. In the information age, medical diagnostics have lagged behind in adopting new technologies, but Natera is changing that narrative. The company specializes in preconception and prenatal genetic testing services, providing couples with crucial information throughout the pregnancy journey.
Natera offers a comprehensive range of tests, including Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) for IVF and Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT). Their Panorama NIPT is particularly notable for its ability to screen for chromosomal abnormalities in a fetus, even in twin pregnancies, typically through a simple blood draw from the mother. Another significant product is the Horizon Carrier Screening (HCS), which determines carrier status for numerous severe genetic diseases that could be passed on to offspring.
The company's innovative approach leverages advances from the Human Genome Project and is powered by proprietary bioinformatics algorithms. This technology enables highly accurate genetic testing results. Natera's portfolio also includes the Signatera Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) Test, designed to detect circulating tumor DNA in cancer patients, helping to assess molecular residual disease and monitor recurrence. Additionally, the Prospera test assesses organ transplant rejection.
Through its pioneering genetic testing services and experienced genetic counseling, Natera provides valuable insights that help in informed decision-making for pregnancies and medical conditions. The company continues to make significant strides in the field of medical diagnostics, driven by a passion for innovation and excellence.
Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) announces a study published in Gynecologic Oncology, validating its molecular residual disease (MRD) test, Signatera, for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The multi-site study of 163 plasma samples from 69 patients demonstrates that Signatera outperforms CA-125 in predicting recurrence. With 100% sensitivity and specificity, it detects recurrences an average of 10 months earlier than imaging. This advancement is crucial for ovarian cancer management, which has a high recurrence rate and poor survival rates.
Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) announced new findings from the Trifecta study, indicating that its Prospera Kidney test, which uses donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA), outperforms traditional donor-specific antibody (DSA) testing in predicting antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). The study assessed 280 samples, showing dd-cfDNA metrics had AUC values of 0.84 and 0.85, significantly higher than DSA's AUC of 0.66. The results advocate for broader dd-cfDNA use in kidney transplantation for more accurate graft status assessment.
Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA) presented new data on its Signatera™ molecular residual disease (MRD) test at the ESMO World Congress in Paris from September 9-13, 2022.

Signatera’s application in monitoring response to immunotherapy in early stage triple-negative breast cancer was also highlighted. The data reinforces the clinical utility of personalized MRD testing in cancer treatment decision-making.
