About this study

The study will involve a multicenter, prospective and retrospective sample collection, and testing of samples with the investigational HIV assay as required per the EU Common Technical Specification (CTS). The CTS requires testing of samples from blood donors, hospitalized patients, known HIV-1 Ab positive patients, known HIV-2 Ab positive patients, and known HIV-1 p24 Ag positive patients. Any retrospectively collected samples will meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria.

All samples collected will be anonymized or pseudo-anonymized, leftover, remnant samples. pseudo-anonymized collection of samples will required oral patient consent documented in their medical record or electronic case report form (eCRF). For CE marking, below is the number of samples that will be included per group :

  • Unselected blood donors : 6,000 fresh samples (requirements CTS : 5,000)
  • Hospitalized patients : 1,200 frozen samples and 800 fresh samples (requirements CTS : 200)
  • Known HIV-1 Ab positive : 470 frozen samples and 30 fresh samples (requirements CTS : 400)
  • Known HIV-2 Ab positive : 100 frozen samples (requirements CTS : 100)
  • Known acute HIV-1 p24 Ag positive : 50 frozen samples (requirements CTS : 50)

The following additional design requirements will be incorporated to EU study to satisfy Canadian regulations, but additional data generated on the additional samples will not be used for CE-marking:

  • Collection and testing of 4,000 additional blood donor samples. Blood donors' samples should include 300 blood donor matched fresh plasma and serum samples
  • Distribution of blood donor sample testing equally over three (3) blood donor sites, using 3 different lots of reagents
  • Retesting of 1000 blood donor samples internally with 1 lot close to expiration
  • Collection and testing of maximum 210 additional p24 Ag positive sample beyond the 50 required by CTS
  • Distribution of p24 Ag and HIV-1 Ab positive sample testing equally over three (3) testing sites, using 3 different lots of reagents.

Additional Canadian requirements will be covered by US protocol(s) and Verification and validation protocols.

Treatment and study plan

Access HIV_blood donor

Diagnostic Test

Samples will be tested with both reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assay and Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay according to respective IFU to determine non-reactive, initially reactive, and repeatedly reactive. Reference assay will be Roche - Cobas - Elecsys® HIV Duo .

  • All initially reactive specimen results will be tested in duplicate per IFU .
  • All RR specimens will be confirmed using testing including ImmunoBlot, Western Blot or HIV-1/HIV-2 differentiation test and HIV-1 PCR, RNA (if Immunoblot, WesternBlot or differentiation test is negative or indeterminate; if Immunoblot, WesternBlot or differentiation test is positive for HIV-2 then HIV-1 PCR will not be tested).

Access HIV_Hospitalized patient

Diagnostic Test

All samples will be tested with both reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assay and Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay according to respective IFU to determine non-reactive, initially reactive, and repeatedly reactive. Reference assay will be Abbott Architect HIV Ag/Ab combo assay for hospitalized patient.

  • All initially reactive specimen results will be tested in duplicate per IFU .
  • All RR specimens will be confirmed using testing including ImmunoBlot, Western Blot or HIV-1/HIV-2 differentiation test and HIV-1 PCR, RNA (if Immunoblot, WesternBlot or differentiation test is negative or indeterminate; if Immunoblot, WesternBlot or differentiation test is positive for HIV-2 then HIV-1 PCR will not be tested).

Access HIV_known HIV-1 antibody positives

Diagnostic Test

Samples will be tested with both reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assay and Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay according to respective IFU to determine non-reactive, initially reactive, and repeatedly reactive. Reference assay will be Abbott Architect HIV Ag/Ab combo assay .

  • All initially reactive specimen results will be tested in duplicate per IFU .
  • For the known positive cohorts (sensitivity cohorts), samples will be identified as positive at enrollment/time of testing according to inclusion criteria prior to testing or in parallel of testing with Access and Reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assays.

In case of discrepant results or concordant negative results between Access and Reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assay among known HIV-1 antibody positive patients, the IB/WB test will be repeated by the site to confirm sample status. If this IB/WB result is negative or indeterminate, the sample will be excluded from the statistical analysis

Access HIV_known HIV-2 antibody positives

Diagnostic Test

Samples will be tested with both reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assay and Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay according to respective IFU to determine non-reactive, initially reactive, and repeatedly reactive. Reference assay will be Abbott Architect HIV Ag/Ab combo assay.

  • All initially reactive specimen results will be tested in duplicate per IFU .
  • For the known positive cohorts (sensitivity cohorts), samples will be identified as positive at enrollment/time of testing according to inclusion criteria prior to testing or in parallel of testing with Access and Reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assays.

Access HIV_known HIV-1 p24 Ag positive

Diagnostic Test

All samples will be tested with both Reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assay and Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay according to respective IFUs/study guide to determine non-reactive (NR), initially reactive (IR), and repeatedly reactive (RR). Reference assay will be Abbott - ARCHITECT HIV Ag/Ab Combo Assay.

  • Due to volume constraints, all known HIV-1 p24 Ag positive samples that will be tested during the EU HIV clinical trial will be tested in singulare only with the Reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assay, and in singulare and then in duplicate if IR with Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay.
  • For the known positive cohorts (sensitivity cohorts), samples will be identified as positive at enrollment/time of testing according to inclusion criteria prior to testing or in parallel of testing with Access and Reference HIV Ag/Ab combo assays

Access HIV_Canada's requirements_Blood donor

Diagnostic Test

To fit with Canada's requirements:

  • 4,000 additional blood donor samples from geographically distinct regions will be collected and tested. Blood donor sample testing will be equally distributed over three blood donor sites, using 3 different lots of reagents: the first 2,000 blood donor samples from CE-marking study (out of the 6,000 tested) will be used plus the 4,000 additional blood donor samples.
  • Retesting of 1000 blood donor samples will be done internally with 1 lot close to expiration to satisfy Canadian requirements
