Intended Use

The HE4 EIA is an enzyme immunometric assay for the quantitative determination of HE4 in human serum. The assay is to be used as an aid in monitoring recurrence or progressive disease in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Serial testing for patient HE4 assay values should be used in conjunction with other clinical methods used for monitoring ovarian cancer.

Device Description

The HE4 EIA is a solid-phase, non-competitive immunoassay based upon the direct sandwich technique based on two mouse monoclonal antibodies, 2H5 and 3D8, directed against two epitopes in the C-WFDC domain of HE4. Calibrators, controls and patient samples are incubated together with biotinylated Anti-HE4 monoclonal antibody (MAb) 2H5 in streptavidin coated microstrips. HE4 present in calibrators or samples is adsorbed to the streptavidin coated microstrips by the biotinylated Anti-HE4 MAb during the incubation. The strips are then washed and incubated with HRP labeled Anti-HE4 MAb 3D8. After washing, buffered Substrate/Chromogen reagent (hydrogen peroxide and 3, 3', 5' tetra-methyl-benzidine) is added to each well and the enzyme reaction is allowed to proceed. During the enzyme reaction a blue color will develop if antigen is present. The intensity of the color is proportionate to the amount of HE4 present in the samples. The color intensity is determined in a microplate spectrophotometer at 620 nm (or optionally at 405 nm after addition of Stop Solution). Calibration curves are constructed for each assay by plotting absorbance value versus the concentration for each calibrator. The HE4 concentrations of patient samples are then read from the calibration curve.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the HE4 EIA Kit, its intended use, and performance characteristics for monitoring epithelial ovarian cancer. Here's a breakdown of the information requested:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance. Instead, it presents the results of a study and lists sensitivity and specificity at various percent changes in HE4 concentration. The study aimed to demonstrate the device's effectiveness as an aid in monitoring recurrence or progressive disease. For the purpose of this table, I will present the reported performance at a 25% change in HE4 concentration, as this was the change used in the main 2x2 table and discussed in the text. Other performance characteristics are listed as "The HE4 EIA Kit precision is ≤ 15% total CV," etc. which can be considered performance goals or criteria.

Performance Characteristic/Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Precision (Total CV)≤ 15%
Linearity (Mean Recovery)Within 15% of expected
Functional Sensitivity (CV 20%)< 5 pM
Detection Limit (LoD)< 2.5 pM
Interference (Assay Specificity)100% ± 15% recovery
Monitoring Effectiveness (at >25% change)
Sensitivity (Concordance to Progression)60% (76/126)
Specificity (Concordance to No Progression)75% (171/228)
Total Concordance70% (247/354)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: 80 patients, contributing to a total of 354 pairs of observations (mean of 4.4 observations per patient).
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The study appears to be retrospective based on "serial serum samples" from patients, but this is not explicitly confirmed as prospective or retrospective.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

The document does not specify the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth ("change in disease status"). It simply refers to "disease status."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not specify an adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for determining the ground truth for the test set.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This is an immunoassay device, not an imaging or diagnostic device involving human "readers" or AI assistance in the way an MRMC study would typically evaluate. Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with or without AI assistance was performed or is applicable here. The study compares the device's output to "disease status."

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, the performance characteristics and monitoring study described are for the device (HE4 EIA Kit) in a standalone capacity, i.e., without a human-in-the-loop performance evaluation in the context of its primary monitoring function. The "Intended Use" states it should be used "in conjunction with other clinical methods," implying it is an aid to a physician's overall assessment, but the performance data presented is for the assay itself.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was "changes in disease status" for ovarian cancer patients. The method for determining "disease status" is not explicitly defined (e.g., pathology, clinical follow-up, imaging results, outcomes data), but it is implied to be a clinical assessment.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify a separate "training set" or sample size for training. This is an immunoassay kit, where "training" typically refers to the development and optimization of the assay itself (e.g., antibody selection, reagent concentrations), which is not detailed in terms of patient sample sizes. The performance studies described appear to be validation or verification studies.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As no explicit "training set" with associated ground truth is mentioned in the context of machine learning or algorithm development, this information is not applicable or provided. The ground truth for the performance studies (test set) was based on "changes in disease status," as described in point 7.

Performance Characteristics

Precision:

A study was performed with the HE4 EIA Kit modeled after the NCCLS (CLSI) guideline EP5-A2. A panel of four serum samples was assayed, using two lots of reagents, in replicates of two, at two separate times per day for 20 days. The HE4 EIA Kit precision is ≤ 15% total CV.

Linearity:

A dilution linearity study was conducted for the HE4 EIA Kit modeled affer the NCCLS (CLSI) guideline EP6-A. Serum samples with elevated HE4 values were diluted with HE4 Calibrator A (zero). The HE4 concentration was determined for each dilution and the percent (%) recovery was calculated.

The HE4 EIA Kit was determined to have a mean recovery within 15% of the expected result for diluted samples.

Functional Sensitivity:

The functional sensitivity of the HE4 EIA Kit is ≤ 25 pM. The functional sensitivity is expressed as the concentration of an analyte at which the CV is 20%. The NCCLS guideline EP5-A2 was used to design the experiments for determination of functional sensitivity. A study was conducted where a five member sensitivity panel was tested in replicates of 4 in 2 runs on twenty separate days with two lots of reagents. The functional sensitivity determined for the HE4 EIA was found to be < 5 pM.

Detection Limit:

The limit of detection of the HE4 EIA Kit is ≤ 15 pM. The limit of detection (LoD) corresponds to the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval and represents the lowest concentration of HE4 antigen that can be distinguished from zero. The NCCLS guideline EP17-A was used to design the LoD experiments. A study was conducted where HE4 Calibrator A (zero) and 4 samples from healthy subjects diluted to 5 pM with Sample Diluent was tested in replicates of 24 per run in 4 runs on two separate days. The LoD was calculated as follows:

LoD (pM) = 5.0 pM x (1.65 x SDg + 1.65 x SDg) / (ODs - ODg)

The Limit of Detection of the HE4 EIA Kit was calculated to be < 2.5 pM.

Interference:

The HE4 EIA Kit mean assay specificity is 100 ± 15%. Recovery studies were performed to compare sera containing the following compounds at the indicated concentrations with control sera. The NCCLS guideline EP7-A was used to design the interference experiments. The following substances and concentrations were tested and found not to interfere with the test.

Potentially interfering clinical conditions

The HE4 EIA Kit mean assay specificity is 100 ± 15%. The HE4 EIA Kit was evaluated using specimens with HAMA and Rheumatoid Factor (RF) to further assess the assay specificity. Five specimens positive for HAMA and five specimens positive for RF were evaluated for % recovery with HE4 EIA antigen spiked into each specimen at approximately 50 and 450 pM.

Monitoring of Disease status in Patients Diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer

The effectiveness of the HE4 EIA as an aid in monitoring of disease status in ovarian cancer patients was determined by assessing changes in HE4 levels in serial serum samples from 80 patients compared to changes in disease status. A study involving a total of 354 pairs of observations was undertaken with an average number of 4.4 observations per patient. A positive change in HE4 was defined as an increase in the value that was at least 25% greater than the previous value of the test. This level of change takes into account the variability of the assay and the biological variability. Sixty percent (60%) or 76/126 of the patient samples with a positive change correlated with the disease progression while seventy-five percent (75%) or 171/228 of the patient serial samples with no significant change in HE4 value correlated with no progression. The total concordance was seventy percent (70% or 247/354). The following table presents the data in a 2 x 2 format.
