The p53 results provided by the PATHIAM System are indicated for use for the identification of p53 accumulation in human neoplasias when used with IVD reagents marketed for this indication. Interpretation should be made within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist. The pathologist must verify agreement with the PATHIAM score.

Ki-67 results provided by the PATHIAM System are indicated for use to assess proliferative activity when used with in vitro diagnostic reagents marketed for this indication. Interpretation should be made within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist. The pathologist must verify agreement with the PATHIAM score.

Device Description

The PATHIAM™ System is an instrument and software system designed to assist the qualified pathologist in the consistent quantitative assessment of protein expression in immunohistochemically stained histologic sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded normal and neoplastic tissues. The system consists of a slide scanner (iScan), computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, image analysis algorithms for specific immunohistochemical markers, and software with a Windows web browser-based user interface. PATHIAM is a web-based, end-to-end digital pathology software solution that allows pathology labs to acquire, manage, view, analyze, share, and report on digital images of pathology specimens. Using the PATHIAM software, the pathologist can view digital images, add annotations, make measurements, perform image analysis, and generate reports.

The iScan slide scanning device captures digital images of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues that are suitable for storage and viewing. The device includes a digital slide scanner, racks for loading glass slides, computer, scanner software, keyboard, mouse and monitor.

The PATHIAM software is designed to complement the routine workflow of a qualified pathologist in the review of immunohistochemically stained histologic slides. It allows the user to select fields of view (FOVs) in the digital image for analysis and provides quantitative data on these FOVs to assist with interpretation. The software makes no independent interpretations of the data and requires competent human intervention at all steps in the analysis process.

Study Details

  1. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test Set (for comparative and pathologist reproducibility studies):
      • p53 study: 120 de-identified archived breast carcinoma sections in Tissue Micro Array (TMA) form.
      • Ki-67 study: 120 de-identified archived breast carcinoma sections in TMA form.
      • Data Provenance: The samples were sourced from a single research center, Ohio State University Medical Center (OSU). The data is retrospective, using archived pathological specimens. The country of origin is the United States (Ohio).
    • Test Set (for system precision/reproducibility studies):
      • 8 pre-selected fields of view (EOVs) from TMA cores for both p53 and Ki-67.
      • These 8 samples were among the 120 cases from the clinical studies.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Number of Experts: Three investigators.
    • Qualifications: "Qualified pathologists". Specific experience levels (e.g., "10 years of experience") are not provided, but they are from different clinical labs.
    • The ground truth used for comparative studies was manual microscopy scores by these pathologists. The system also performs automated scoring as part of its operation, which is then compared to the human pathologist's assessment.
  3. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • The study design does not explicitly mention a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for resolving disagreements between pathologists' scores in the inter-pathologist studies.
    • Concordance was calculated based on the agreement between individual pathologists' scores, or between a pathologist's score and the PATHIAM-assisted score, or between two pathologists' manual scores. The study focused on assessing agreement rather than establishing a single adjudicated ground truth from multiple readers.
  4. 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:

    • Yes, an MRMC-like comparative effectiveness study was conducted ("PATHIAM System Comparison Studies (Inter and Intra Pathologist Studies)").
    • Effect Size (Improvement with AI assistance):
      • The study reports that Inter-Pathologist reproducibility using the PATHIAM system was higher than Inter-Pathologist reproducibility using manual microscopy at all three clinical cut-offs. This indicates an improvement in consistency among human readers when assisted by the AI.
      • For p53:
        • PATHIAM-assisted vs. PATHIAM-assisted Reproducibility: 88-97%
        • Manual vs. Manual Reproducibility: 78-95%
        • (Improvement is visible, but an exact "effect size" (e.g., AUC difference, specific statistical metric) is not quantified beyond showing higher concordance ranges.)
      • For Ki-67:
        • PATHIAM-assisted vs. PATHIAM-assisted Reproducibility: 88-95%
        • Manual vs. Manual Reproducibility: 80-91%
        • (Similar indication of improvement in consistency.)
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, standalone performance was assessed in the "PATHIAM System Reproducibility and Precision Study (Inter and Intra System Studies)".
    • This study specifically aimed to "assess the consistency and reproducibility of the PATHIAM system (no pathologist)" for p53 and Ki-67 scoring on different systems.
    • The PATHIAM system's raw scores were used directly for comparison in these precision studies.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • For comparative effectiveness studies: The ground truth for comparative performance (manual vs. PATHIAM-assisted) was derived from individual manual microscopy scores by qualified pathologists.
    • For pathologist reproducibility studies: The ground truth for inter-pathologist reproducibility was agreement between the PATHIAM-assisted scores of different pathologists. For intra-pathologist reproducibility, it was agreement of a single pathologist's PATHIAM-assisted scores across multiple reads.
    • For system precision/reproducibility studies: The "ground truth" was the PATHIAM system's own raw score for a given field of view, and the studies assessed the consistency of these scores across repeated measurements and different systems. There was no independent external ground truth (like a molecular test or pathology review report) in these specific precision studies; they validated the system's internal consistency.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for training the PATHIAM algorithms. The description focuses on the validation studies.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Since the training set size is not provided, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not detailed in this document.

Performance:

PATHIAM System Comparison Studies (Inter and Intra Pathologist Studies)

Inter pathologist study

Round 1 Manual Scoring:

Slides were scored by a qualified pathologist at each site manually. The three pathologists read randomly selected 120 stained tissue test samples manually on a microscope and assigned a score to each specimen (test sample) according to the scoring categories.

Round 2 PATHIAM Assisted Scoring:

PATHIAM assisted scoring took place after a minimum of one week passed since manual slide reading. The order that the test samples were accessed (randomized) for scoring was presented to the pathologists at the time the testing was administered and was different from the order presented in Round 1 to further reduce the possibility that the manual scoring influenced the scoring using the PATHIAM system. The same three pathologists reviewed the digital images of the test samples presented by the software on the computer monitor (PATHIAM system). The the toot only is the ability to navigate freely around the images at various magnifications (as in a microscope), select field of views for scoring, and determine the score for each specimen (test sample) with the assistance of the Pathiam system according to the scoring categories.

The above two steps (Round 1 and Round 2) were performed with three investigators on the same set of test samples.

{13}------------------------------------------------

General Description

The PATHIAM™ System is an instrument and software system designed to assist the qualified pathologist in the consistent quantitative assessment of protein expression in immunohistochemically stained histologic sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded normal and neoplastic tissues. The system consists of a slide scanner (iScan), computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, image analysis algorithms for specific immunohistochemical markers, and software with a Windows web browser-based user interface. PATHIAM is a web-based, end-toend digital pathology software solution that allows pathology labs to acquire, manage, view, analyze, share, and report on digital images of pathology specimens. Using the PATHIAM software, the pathologist can view digital images, add annotations, make measurements, perform image analysis, and generate reports.

The iScan slide scanning device captures digital images of formalin-fixed, Hardware: paraffin-embedded tissues that are suitable for storage and viewing. The device includes a digital slide scanner, racks for loading glass slides, computer, scanner software, keyboard, mouse and monitor.

Software: The PATHIAM software is designed to complement the routine workflow of a qualified pathologist in the review of immunohistochemically stained histologic slides. It allows the user to select fields of view (FOVs) in the digital image for analysis and provides quantitative data on these FOVs to assist with interpretation. The software makes no independent interpretations of the data and requires competent human intervention at all steps in the analysis process.

Additional materials required:

  • Dako p53, clone DO7TM monoclonal antibody .
  • Dako Ki-67, clone MIB1 monoclonal antibody .
  • Reagents for visualization, such as DAB chromagen .
  • Associated materials for completing immunohistochemical staining according to the . appropriate package insert
  • . Color printer if user wishes to print out color copies

{14}------------------------------------------------

Device Quality Control

The quality of results depends on the laboratory following the quality control instructions recommended in the labeling of the immunohistochemistry (IHC) reagents. The software also performs a quality check on the digital images to determine if they are suitable for further analysis using "Image Quality Assessment" algorithms.

Summary of Procedure

Samples are obtained as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. Histologic sections are prepared and mounted onto glass slides. Slides are reacted with either Ki-67 or p53 primary antibodies. Slides are visualized using DAB. Prepared slides are loaded into the PATHIAM system scanner and scanned. The resulting digital images are reviewed by the pathologist on a computer monitor, and appropriate fields of view (FOVs) are then selected for analysis by the PATHIAM software. The PATHIAM software produces a "percent positive" result for the specific immunohistochemical study (Ki-67 or p53), and the pathologist has the choice of accepting the result or entering his/her own score.

Principal of Operation

After the initial image quality check, the algorithm goes through the following steps before generating the analysis results:

    1. Field of View (FOV) identification: The algorithm separates the tissue area from the background such that only the tissue area is processed in the following steps.
    1. Preprocessing: The algorithm generates two images after preprocessing. One of them is a contrast stretched image, and the other is an image with each of the tissue AOI pixels classified as stained or non-stained.
    1. Segmentation: This processing step consists of extracting the objects of interest from the image. In the current applications, the objects of interest are epithelial cell nuclei. These are separated out from the rest of the identified objects using morphological properties, such as size and shape.
    1. Classification: The segmented nuclei are classified as stained cells or non-stained cells based on the percentage of stained pixels within them.
    1. Scoring / Grading: Based on the classification, an overall score for the image is computed using the numbers of stained cells, non-stained cells and total cells for the calculations.

Inter pathologist study

Round 1 Manual Scoring:

Slides were scored by a qualified pathologist at each site manually. The three pathologists individually reviewed 120 tissue samples immunohistochemically stained for p53 or Ki67 on a microscope and assigned a score to each specimen (test sample) according to the scoring categories.

Round 2 PATHIAM Assisted Scoring:

PATHIAM assisted scoring took place after a minimum of one week passed since manual slide reading. The order that the test samples were accessed (randomized) for scoring was presented to the pathologists at the time the testing was administered and was different from the order presented in Round 1 to further reduce the possibility that the manual scoring influenced the scoring using the PATHIAM system. The same three pathologists reviewed the digital images of the test samples presented by the software on a computer monitor (PATHIAM system). The pathologists had the ability to navigate freely around the images at various magnifications (as in a microscope), select fields of views for scoring, and determine the score for each specimen (test sample) with the assistance of the PATHIAM system according to the scoring categories.

The above two steps (Round 1 and Round 2) were performed with three investigators on the same set of test samples.

Intra pathologist study

A single pathologist scored 20 of the 120 tissue samples for both for p53 and Ki67 (five samples randomly chosen from each scoring category) two additional times using the same PATHIAM system. Between reads, the pathologist was given a wash-out period of at least 3 days, and the samples were randomly presented each time (to further support wash-out and blinding) to the pathologist in all scoring sessions.

Test Samples for p53 Study:

Samples were sourced from a single research center, Ohio State University Medical Center (OSU), under IRB oversight and approval. 188 unique archived de-identified invasive breast carcinoma tissue specimens were used to create five TMAs. Sections of the TMAs were stained for p53 by OSU. Individual TMA cores measured 2 mm in diameter, with the total area of tissue for evaluation in each core equivalent to 16 high-power fields of view (400X magnification). The TMA slide set was scored by a qualified pathologist from BioImagene, at which time TMA cores with insufficient tissue/tumor for evaluation and/or artifacts that obscured tissue assessment were excluded. The remainder of the cores (160) were placed into one of four positivity categories: 0-1% (57), >1-5% (24), >5-10% (26) and >10% (53).

{26}------------------------------------------------

The study sample set utilized 120 total TMA cores spanning a range of positivity from 0 to 100%. The sample set of 120 consisted of all of the cores from the two middle scoring categories (>1-5%, 24 cores, and >5-10%, 26 cores). 35 cores from both the lowest and highest scoring categories (0-1% and >10%) were randomly selected from the cores in these categories, for a total of 120 cores.

TMAs were stained with the following reagents according to the procedure outlined in the table below: Antigen retrieval buffer (citrate, pH 6.0): Dako cat. No. S1699; p53: Clone DO7 (Dako cat. No. M7001); Antibody diluent, Dako cat. No. S0809; LSAB+ detection kit (Dako cat. No. K0690); DAB, (Dako cat. No. K3468).

Test Samples for Ki-67 Study:

Samples were sourced from a single research center, Ohio State University Medical Center (OSU), under IRB oversight and approval. 188 unique archived de-identified invasive breast carcinoma tissue specimens were used to create five TMAs. Sections of the TMAs were stained for Ki67 by OSU. Individual TMA cores measured 2 mm in diameter, with the total area of tissue for evaluation in each core equivalent to 16 high-power fields of view (400X magnification). The TMA slide set was scored by a qualified pathologist from BioImagene, at which time TMA cores with insufficient tissue/tumor for evaluation and/or artifacts that obscured tissue assessment were excluded. The remainder of the cores (168) were placed into one of four positivity categories: 0-1% (15), >1-5% (29), >5-10% (35) and >10% (89).

The study sample set utilized 120 total TMA cores spanning a range of positivity from 0 to 100%. The sample set of 120 consisted of all of the cores from the three lower scoring categories (0-1%, >1-5%, and >5-10%) and 41 cores from the highest scoring category (>10%), which were randomly selected from the 89 cores in this category. At least 29 (2 10%), which were included from all of the positivity categories with the exception of the 0-1% category. Because Ki67 is a proliferation marker and proliferation rates in breast cancer specimens are typically greater than zero, a smaller number of samples (15) from the 0-1% specifically are typresent in the TMA slide set, all of which were included in the study.

Evaluations:

Comparative Study with Manual Microscopy:

For the comparative assessment, samples were scored by each investigator manually. After a minimum of one week had passed, the investigators scored the cases again using the PATHIAM system. Scoring was semi-quantitative using four percent positivity categories of 0-1%, >1-5%, >5-10%, and >10%. PATHIAM quantitative scores were also recorded.

Reproducibility:

The PATHIAM scores from the equivalence assessment were also used to assess Inter-Pathologist reproducibility.

One of the investigators for both p53 and Ki-67 (Dr. Goldstein) scored a subset of 20 cases on the PATHIAM system two additional times for the assessment of intra-reader reproducibility. A minimum of three days' washout occurred between PATHIAM scoring sessions. Additionally, the order the slides were reviewed was randomized between each scoring session.

Analytical Specificity:

The specificity of the test results is dependent on the analytical performance of the immunohistochemical staining of the tissue.

Assay Cut Off:

Clinical cut-offs used for the assessment of p53 & Ki67 varies between laboratories. The performance of the PATHIAM system was evaluated at three commonly used clinical cut-offs: >1%, >5% and >10%.

{28}------------------------------------------------

Data Collection, Data Entry, Data Verification, and Query Resolution:

Data Collection

Participating pathologists captured the scoring data on Scoring Case Report Forms. They either entered the data directly onto the forms or dictated the results to a recorder. In all cases, the investigators reviewed the data on the form and signed each page.

Data Entry Verification

Once all data entry was completed, data OC was performed. A single individual or a two person team performed data OC. When a Two Person team was available, Person 1 read the data from the original CRF while person 2 verified the data on the spreadsheet. Corrections to the data were made as needed. Comments were entered describing any changes made. The spreadsheet was designated QC in the title, and the date of the QC noted in the header of each page.

Query Resolution

Query resolution can arise from the data analysis process. Queries were sent to the investigative center in written fax or e-mail form. Corrections were made on the query resolution form, which was signed by the investigator. The forms were faxed or e-mailed back to the study coordinator, with the original also forwarded to the study coordinator. A copy was retained on site. Changes to the excel spreadsheet were noted as comments on the OC version of the file. When query resolution was complete, the final excel spreadsheet was saved as "Final". The final spreadsheets were used for the data analyses used to generate reports for regulatory submissions.

PATHIAM System Traceability

One PATHIAM System was used for this comparison study (to accommodate different study sites, two monitors were used). The details of the system are as follows:

Treatment of Samples Rejected for Quality by the PATHIAM system: No cases were rejected.

End Points:

Concordance was examined at three clinically accepted standards/cut-offs for positivity, >1%, >5%, and >10%, similar to the predicates.

Conclusion:

The criterion of ≥75% concordance between manual microscopy and PATHIAM assisted scoring for the evaluation of p53 & Ki67 was met by all three pathologists for all three clinical cut-offs evaluated.

Inter-pathologist reproducibility for three pathologists using the PATHIAM system also exceeded 75% concordance at all three clinical cut-offs. Inter-Pathologist reproducibility using the PATHIAM system was higher than Inter-Pathologist reproducibility using manual microscopy at all three clinical cut-offs, indicating that PATHIAM assisted scoring is more consistent than manual microscopy.

Intra-pathologist reproducibility for 3 scoring sessions using the PATHIAM system exceeded 75% concordance at all three clinical cut-offs.

PATHIAM is a web-based, end-to-end digital pathology software solution that allows pathology labs to acquire, manage, view, analyze, share, and report on digital images of pathology specimens. Using the PATHIAM software, the pathologist can view digital images, add annotations, make measurements, perform image analysis, and generate reports.

{35}------------------------------------------------

Study Design

The intra system (PATHIAM system with iScan) study was performed on five sets of images (one set = eight test samples) produced by one scanner and scored on one computer system (consisting of a computer, monitor, keyboard, p53 & Ki-67 image analysis algorithms, MS Windows web browser and a mouse). Pre-selected field of views (8) from TMA cores randomly selected by a qualified pathologist from the four scoring categories were used for this study. Pre-selection of FOVs was necessary to allow the study scientist to locate corresponding FOVs on the multiple digital images generated by the same scanner for scoring. The goal of the inter system study was to assess the consistency and reproducibility of the PATHIAM system (no pathologist) for p53 & Ki-67 scoring on different systems.

This study was repeated on a total of three different scanners and computer systems. The same pre-selected field of views used for the inter system studies were also used for intra system study.

The test sample selection process for the system studies was as follows:

  • 120 de-identified test samples were selected for the clinical studies (from the comparison studies above for p53 and Ki-67)

  • These 120 test samples were designated by the TMA number and the core position.

  • The core position was assigned on the basis of the row (labeled as A-E) and the column (numbered from 1-9)

  • Semi-quantitative scores (0-1%, >1-5%, >5-10%, and >10%) based on prior manual microscopic review by a qualified pathologist were available for the 120 test samples - The TMA slides containing the 120 test samples were digitized by the iScan/PATHIAM

system described in detail in the report

  • The digitized TMA slides/images were uploaded into the PATHIAM software

  • Five test samples from each scoring category (0-1%, >1-5%, >5-10%, and >10%) were randomly selected for the intra pathologist reproducibility study being conducted in parallel

  • Two of five test samples from each scoring category (total of 8) from the intra pathologist reproducibility studies were then randomly selected for the intra and inter system studies

  • The digital images containing these 8 test samples were reviewed in the PATHIAM system by a qualified pathologist, with one Field of View (FOV) selected for each test sample

  • The selected FOVs from the eight cores represented the area used for image analysis for both intra- and inter-system studies

Precision/Reproducibility Study results (intra and inter system)

Each test sample (8 of them) was scanned 5 times on one scanner. Each test sample (FOV) on each scan was scored by PATHIAM (raw score). The PATHIAM raw scores were used for data comparison analysis.

This was repeated on three different PATHIAM Systems (including one study from above) and scores are compared and presented in the tables below along with the PATHIAM System identification traceability information.

Table 34: Ki-67 Inter-system Reproducibility Study - Results from System I, II, III above

Discussion:

The field of view analyzed for each test sample was manually drawn with the drawing tool and is therefore not exactly the same for every image analyzed in the intra & inter system studies. The variability in the reproducibility results can therefore be mostly attributed to the slight variations in the composition of the fields of view in for each image analyzed.

Conclusion:

The above tables for the intra- and inter-system studies confirm the precision and reproducibility of Ki-67 and p53 scoring within the same system and between different systems. The precision and reproducibility study data (averages, standard deviation and % CV) showed that PATHIAM System precision and reproducibility is similar to that of the predicate devices, and is therefore acceptable.

§ 864.1860 Immunohistochemistry reagents and kits.

(a)
Identification. Immunohistochemistry test systems (IHC's) are in vitro diagnostic devices consisting of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies labeled with directions for use and performance claims, which may be packaged with ancillary reagents in kits. Their intended use is to identify, by immunological techniques, antigens in tissues or cytologic specimens. Similar devices intended for use with flow cytometry devices are not considered IHC's.(b)
Classification of immunohistochemistry devices. (1) Class I (general controls). Except as described in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, these devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements in part 807, subpart E of this chapter. This exemption applies to IHC's that provide the pathologist with adjunctive diagnostic information that may be incorporated into the pathologist's report, but that is not ordinarily reported to the clinician as an independent finding. These IHC's are used after the primary diagnosis of tumor (neoplasm) has been made by conventional histopathology using nonimmunologic histochemical stains, such as hematoxylin and eosin. Examples of class I IHC's are differentiation markers that are used as adjunctive tests to subclassify tumors, such as keratin.(2) Class II (special control, guidance document: “FDA Guidance for Submission of Immunohistochemistry Applications to the FDA,” Center for Devices and Radiologic Health, 1998). These IHC's are intended for the detection and/or measurement of certain target analytes in order to provide prognostic or predictive data that are not directly confirmed by routine histopathologic internal and external control specimens. These IHC's provide the pathologist with information that is ordinarily reported as independent diagnostic information to the ordering clinician, and the claims associated with these data are widely accepted and supported by valid scientific evidence. Examples of class II IHC's are those intended for semiquantitative measurement of an analyte, such as hormone receptors in breast cancer.
(3) Class III (premarket approval). IHC's intended for any use not described in paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section.
(c)
Date of PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is required for any device described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 864.3.
