Alinity s Anti-HCV II - Clinical Evaluation Protocol

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the performance and intended use of the Alinity s Anti-HCV II investigational assay in a donor screening environment using clinical samples to evaluate assay performance. The Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay performance will be evaluated utilizing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed Alinity s Anti-HCV assay as the comparator method. The data will be used to support regulatory submissions and/or publications.

About this study

This study evaluates the Alinity s Anti-HCV II investigational assay using the Alinity s System.

The Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) used for the qualitative detection of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human serum and plasma specimens on the Alinity s System. The Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay is intended to screen individual human donors, including volunteer donors of whole blood and blood components, and other living donors for the presence of anti-HCV.

The performance of the Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay will be evaluated by performing specificity, and sensitivity testing of the Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay.

To evaluate specificity, approximately 15,000 random unique donor specimens will be collected.

To evaluate sensitivity, Abbott will provide a minimum of 400 frozen samples from U.S. individuals characterized as HCV positive and a minimum of 400 frozen specimens from U.S. individuals at increased risk for HCV infection.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Serum or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma from a blood donor or a plasma from a plasmapheresis donor.

Exclusion criteria

  • Previous participation in this study. Each subject must be represented only once in the study.

Note: Frozen samples (sensitivity) provided by Abbott (403 specimens characterized as positive for HCV and 404 specimens with Increased risk of HCV infection) have no specific inclusion/exclusion criteria that the clinical sites need to verify prior to testing. Inclusion and exclusion criteria only apply to specificity specimens.

Treatment and study plan

Alinity s Anti-HCV II

Device

For all donor specimens with investigational Alinity s Anti-HCV II results that are discordant with final status after supplemental testing, an attempt will be made to obtain a follow-up whole blood specimen approximately 4 to 6 weeks after initial donation for further analysis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Assay Specificity Results for Participants (Specimens) Tested With Alinity s Anti-HCV II Assay.

    Time frame: Each participant (specimen) was tested on the Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay in 1 day.

    A total of 15,526 serum and plasma specimens from whole blood donors as well as plasmapheresis specimens were tested with the investigational Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay. Repeatedly reactive specimens were tested further with supplemental assays, if required, to determine final status.

    Anti-HCV II Repeatedly Reactive, Final Status Indeterminate = B

    Anti-HCV II Repeatedly Reactive, Final Status Negative = C

    Anti-HCV II Nonreactive, Final Status Negative = F

    Specificity is calculated as the proportion of nonreactive specimens from specimens with negative status: F / (C+F) × 100%

    Specificity can be also calculated as the proportion of nonreactive specimens with negative status from specimens with negative status and repeatedly reactive specimens with indeterminate status: F / (C + B + F) × 100%

  2. Assay Sensitivity Results for Participants (Specimens) Characterized as Positive Tested With Alinity s Anti-HCV II Assay.

    Time frame: Each participant (specimen) was tested on the Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay in 1 day.

    A total of 403 specimens characterized as positive for HCV were obtained from specimen vendors and tested with the investigational Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay.

    Anti-HCV II Repeatedly Reactive, Final Status Positive = A

    Anti-HCV II Nonreactive, Final Status Positive = D

    Anti-HCV II Nonreactive, Final Status Indeterminate = E

    Sensitivity is calculated as the proportion of repeatedly reactive specimens from specimens with positive final status: A / (A+D) × 100%

    Sensitivity can also be calculated as the proportion of repeatedly reactive specimens with positive status from specimens with positive status and nonreactive specimens with indeterminate status: A / (A + D + E) × 100%

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assay Sensitivity Results for Participants (Specimens) With Increased Risk for HCV Tested With Alinity s Anti-HCV II Assay.

    Time frame: Each participant (specimen) was tested on the Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay in 1 day.

    404 specimens from subjects at increased risk for HCV infection were obtained from specimen vendors and tested with investigational Alinity s Anti-HCV II assay. Repeatedly reactive specimens were tested further with supplemental assays, if required, to determine final status.

    Anti-HCV II Repeatedly Reactive, Final Status Positive = A

    Anti-HCV II Nonreactive, Final Status Positive = D

    Anti-HCV II Nonreactive, Final Status Indeterminate = E

    Sensitivity is calculated as the proportion of repeatedly reactive specimens from specimens with positive final status: A / (A+D) × 100%

    Sensitivity can also be calculated as the proportion of repeatedly reactive specimens with positive status from specimens with positive status and nonreactive specimens with indeterminate status: A / (A + D + E) × 100%
