cobas® CT/NG Test: Acceptance Criteria and Study Details

The cobas® CT/NG Test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) DNA.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document describes both non-clinical performance evaluations (analytical sensitivity, inclusivity, specificity, interference, precision) and clinical performance evaluations (reproducibility and a clinical specimen study). The acceptance criteria for analytical and reproducibility studies are generally indicated by the achieved performance (e.g., ≥ 95% detection for LOD, 100% agreement for negative controls, high positive percent agreement for reproducibility). For clinical performance, the reported sensitivity and specificity serve as the primary metrics.

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Analytical Sensitivity (LOD): Target concentration detectable as positive in ≥ 95% of replicates.C. trachomatis (CT):- Urine: 0.75 IFU/mL- Vaginal Swabs: 10.00 IFU/mLN. gonorrhoeae (NG):- Urine: 2.25 CFU/mL- Vaginal Swabs: 100.00 CFU/mL
Inclusivity: Detection of additional CT serovars/variants and NG strains around LOD levels with high positive hit rates.CT: Analytical sensitivity for 14 serovars + nvCT ranged from 0.125 IFU/mL to 5.0 IFU/mL (PCR Media + urine) and all showed 100% positive hit rates at 10 IFU/mL in stabilized negative vaginal specimens.NG: Analytical sensitivity for 44 strains ranged from 3.0 CFU/mL to 20 CFU/mL (PCR Media) and was 3.75 CFU/mL (PCR Media + urine). All showed 100% hit rates at 100 CFU/mL in stabilized negative vaginal specimens.

Clinical Positive Predictive Value (PPV) at study prevalence:CT: 96.5%NG: 97.2%
Clinical Negative Predictive Value (NPV) at study prevalence:CT: 99.6%NG: 100.0%

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Clinical Specimen Study:
    • Sample Size: A total of 2,851 evaluable male and female subjects were enrolled for the clinical specimen study.
    • Data Provenance: The study was a multi-center clinical investigation conducted in the United States. Specimens were collected at 12 geographically diverse sites, including OB-GYN practices, public and private STD clinics, and family planning centers. The study was prospective in nature, as subjects were enrolled, and specimens were collected and tested.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The ground truth ("Patient Infected Status") was established using a combination of two commercially available nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for CT and NG, as reference assays. The number and qualifications of experts involved in the interpretation of these reference assays or in establishing a consensus based on them are not explicitly stated in the provided document. The ground truth was primarily based on the concordance of these reference NAAT results.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

The adjudication method for determining "Patient Infected Status" (PIS) was based on the combined results from two reference NAATs.

  • A subject was categorized as infected for CT or NG if a minimum of two positive results (at least one from each reference NAAT) was reported across relevant specimen types (e.g., endocervical swab/urethral swab and/or urine specimen).
  • Specific rules were applied for certain situations, such as females being categorized as non-infected for swab specimens if reference swab and PreservCyt were negative, but urine specimens were positive.
  • A subject was classified as non-infected if at least one of the reference NAATs reported negative results for all sample types.
  • If PIS could not be determined due to missing and/or indeterminate results from the reference tests, the subject was excluded from the analysis. This method implies a form of "consensus" or "composite reference standard" based on the agreement of the two predicate devices, rather than a direct expert panel adjudication in the typical sense of 2+1 or 3+1 for imaging.

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

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This device is a fully automated in vitro diagnostic test (nucleic acid amplification test) and does not involve human readers interpreting results. Therefore, there is no AI assistance or effect size on human reader performance to report. The comparison is between the new device and established reference assays.

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

Yes, the primary clinical performance evaluation is a standalone (algorithm only) performance study. The cobas® CT/NG Test is an automated system for sample preparation, amplification, and real-time detection, generating results without human interpretive input. The reported sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values are for the device operating as a standalone diagnostic system.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth used was a composite reference standard (CRS) or "patient infected status" (PIS). PIS was determined based on the combined results from two different, commercially available nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) which served as reference assays. A subject was considered infected if at least two positive results were obtained, with at least one from each reference NAAT, across various relevant specimen types.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not explicitly describe a separate training set for the clinical performance evaluation in the context of machine learning or AI. Diagnostic devices like the cobas® CT/NG Test typically undergo analytical validation (e.g., LOD, inclusivity, specificity) and then clinical validation with a distinct set of clinical samples. The "training" for such devices is inherent in their design and optimization prior to the formal validation studies, and not usually characterized by a distinct "training set" of patient data in the way an AI model would have. The data described (analytical and clinical) are primarily for performance evaluation and validation.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

As noted above, a distinct "training set" in the AI sense is not described. For the general development of the assay, the "ground truth" would be established through highly characterized reference materials (quantified cultures of CT and NG), which were used extensively in the analytical performance studies (LOD, inclusivity, analytical specificity).

4. NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

4.1. Analytical Sensitivity

The analytical sensitivity (Limit of Detection or LOD) for the cobas® CT/NG Test was determined by analyzing dilutions of quantified CT and NG cultures of CT and NG were diluted into negative vaginal swab specimen in cobas® PCR Media and negative urine specimen plus cobas® PCR Media to determine the LOD for vaginal swab and urine specimens, respectively. All levels were analyzed using the full cobas® CT/NG Test workflow across 3 unique lots of cobas® CT/NG Test reagents. This test defines LOD as the target concentration which can be detected as positive in ≥ 95% of the replicates tested with each reagent lot.

The LOD for the CT serovar D culture and NG strain 19424 in cobas® PCR Media, vaginal swab specimens stabilized in cobas® PCR Media and urine specimens diluted into cobas® PCR Média are shown in Table 3.

Table 3: cobas® CT/NG Test Limit of Detection

*Testing included one negative level with 167-168 replicates

** Testing included one negative level with 82-84 replicates

4.2. Inclusivity

The sensitivity of the cobas CT/NG Test was determined for 14 additional CT serovars, the Swedish new variant (nvCT) strain and an additional 44 independently isolated strains of NG. Testing was done to demonstrate that these targets can be detected around the LOD levels determined during analytical sensitivity testing for the CT serovar D culture and NG strain

{8}------------------------------------------------

  1. Panels were prepared as described for the LOD study with the number of panel levels varying from 1 to 5, as required. At least 49 replicates were tested for each panel level using one lot of cobas CT/NG Test reagents. Results are shown in Table 4 and Table 5. In Table 5, all NG strains with identical LOD results are presented as a group, shown in the columns labeled "Numbers of NG Strains." Since LOD evaluation was done with samples stabilized in cobas PCR Media, the LOD for untreated urine is twice the level reported in Table 4 and Table 5.

The analytical sensitivity for all 14 CT serovars plus the nvCT variant (Table 4) ranged from 0.2 IFU/mL (IFU= Inclusion Forming Units) to 5.0 IFU/mL in cobas® PCR Media and from 0.13 IFU/mL to 0.75 IFU/mL in cobas® PCR Media plus negative urine specimen. All CT serovars and the nvCT variant were tested at 10 IFU/mL only in stabilized negative vaginal specimen and all showed 100% positive hit rates at 10 IFU/mL.

The analytical sensitivity for all 44 NG strains ranged from 3.0 CFU/mL to 20 CFU/mL in cobas® PCR Media and was 3.75 CFU/mL in cobas® PCR Media plus urine specimens. All NG strains were tested at 100 CFU/mL only in stabilized negative vaginal specimen. All showed 100% hit rates at 100 CFU/mL (CFU = Colony Forming Units).

4.3. Competitive Inhibition

Panels were prepared by spiking CT and NG cultures into urine and vaginal specimens stabilized in cobas® PCR Media to various concentration levels to examine the potential for competitive inhibition. Panels were prepared with two strains each of CT and NG. Panels were tested in one run per day over the course of 5 days. Two replicates of each panel member were tested in every run, generating a maximum of 10 test results for each level and CT and NG strain respectively. Average Ct values for each of the panel levels are summarized in Tables 6 and 7. All CT and NG hit rates were 100% for all panel levels in both matrices. Competitive inhibition was not seen in any combination of CT and NG levels in either matrix.

4.4. Analytical Specificity

A panel of 184 bacteria, fungi and viruses, including those commonly found in the male/female urogenital tract, as well as representatives of N. cineria, N. flava, N. lactamica, N. perflava and N. subflava and other phylogenetically related organisms, were tested with the cobas® CT/NG Test to assess analytical specificity. The organisms listed in Table 6 were spiked at high concentrations (microorganisms tested below 1 x 106 copies/mL are listed in Table 9) into CT/NG negative urine specimens plus cobas PCR Media and pooled negative vaginal specimen spiked with CT and NG cultures at 3 times the limit of detection.

Results indicated that none of these organisms interfered with detection of CT and NG or produced a false positive result in the CT/NG negative matrices.

4.5. Interference

Interference testing was performed using cobas® PCR Media plus negative urine and negative vaginal swab specimen spiked with CT and NG cultures at ~ 3 x LOD for each target. Eighteen over-the-counter (OTC) products, including contraceptive jelly, lubricants, feminine sprays, antifungal cream and anti-itch cream, as well as whole blood, cervical mucus and PBMC cells were tested for interference. Of the 18 OTC products tested, Replens® vaginal moisturizer produced invalid and/or false negative results in the cobas® PCR Media plus negative urine panel samples. No interference from Replens® vaginal moisturizer was observed with vaginal swab specimens tested.

The levels of whole blood, mucus and PBMC cells shown in Table 10 represent maximum allowable concentrations which will not interfere with cobas® CT/NG Test performance. Concentrations in urine samples were determined using total sample volume, including stabilizing media.

4.6. Precision

Precision of the cobas CT/NG Test was examined in-house using a test panel composed of CT and NG cultures diluted into cobas® PCR Media and cobas® PCR Media mixed with

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

negative urine. The precision panel was designed to include members with either CT or NG at approximately the LOD for the panel matrix, members with both CT and NG at approximately the LOD and 2.5 x LOD for the panel matrix and a negative level. Testing was done with three unique lots of cobas CT/NG Test reagents and three instruments for a total of 24 runs. A description of the precision panels and the study performance in % hit rate are shown in Table 11. All positive panel levels yielded the anticipated hit rates. All negative panel levels tested negative throughout the study.

5. . CLINICAL PERFORMANCE

The clinical performance characteristics of the cobas® CT/NG Test were established in two multi-center clinical investigations conducted in the United States. One study evaluated the reproducibility at one internal and two external testing sites. The other study evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of the cobas® CT/NG Test on clinical specimens.

{15}------------------------------------------------


5.1. Reproducibility

A Reproducibility Study was performed across lot, testing site, operator, run, and day for the cobas 8 CTNG Test using 2 panels prepared from swabs and urine collected in cobas PCR Media. A run for cobas® PCR Media (urine or swab) included 3 replicates of each of 5 panel members and 1 positive and 1 negative control (17 total tests). If cobas PCR Media panels were combined in a run, only 1 positive and 1 negative control were included (32 total tests). The 2 operators at each site performed 2 runs per day, for a total of 3 days of testing per operator per panel type (6 days of testing total for each panel type and reagent lot). Testing was performed with 2 reagent lots (6 days of testing per lot).

Overall. 74 runs were performed. and 72 valid runs were obtained for urine and swab panel types. The 2 invalid runs were due to instrument errors. A total of 1,080 tests were performed on the 5 panel members for each panel type in the valid runs. There was 1 invalid test result in the urine panel type, and 2 invalid test results in the swab panel type. These invalid tests were due to instrument errors.

All valid test results were included in the analyses that reported the percent agreement for CT and NG for each panel type separately. There were no false positive results for either analyte (CT and NG) for both panel types for negative panel members, thus giving negative percent agreement (NPA) of 100% for each analyte.

C. trachomatis (Table 12 and Table 13) 5.1.1.

Percent agreement for the positive panel members was excellent across both panel types and panel members showing a positive percent agreement (PPA) of 100%.

Analysis of variance components of the Ct values from valid tests performed on positive panel members yielded overall CV (%) ranges from 1.1% to 1.5% for the urine panel type and 1.6% to 1.8% for the swab panel type.

5.2. Clinical Specimen Study

5.2.1. Study Design

Performance characteristics of the cobas CT/NG Test were evaluated in a multi-center clinical study conducted in the United States. Specimens were collected at 12 geographically diverse sites including OB-GYN practices, public and private STD clinics, and family planning centers. A total of 2.851 evaluable male and female, symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects were enrolled. Subjects were classified as symptomatic if the subject reported symptoms indicative of CT or NG infection. Specimens collected from each female subject included urine, a clinician- or self-collected vaginal swab, endocervical swabs, and a cervical sample in PreservCyt" Solution (Hologic Corporation, Bedford MA) obtained with a spatula/cytobrush or a broom. Male subjects provided urethral swabs and urine specimens. Specimens were tested using the cobas CT/NG Test and two commercially available nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for CT and NG. The NAATs were used as reference assays in the clinical study.

For females, urine specimens were collected first. If a cervical cytology test was a scheduled part of the visit, that sample was taken next, followed by a vaginal swab and then endocervical swabs. If a cervical cytology test was not a scheduled part of the visit, a vaginal swab was taken next, followed by endocervical swabs and then the cervical specimen. The order of endocervical swab collection as well as clinician- or self-collection of the vaginal swab was alternated to minimize collection bias. For males, the urethral swabs were collected first in alternating order

{20}------------------------------------------------

and then the urine specimen was collected. All specimens were taken and stored according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Determination of Patient Infected Status 5.2.2.

For each subject, a patient infected status (PIS) was determined based on the combined results from the reference assays. A subject was categorized as infected for CT or NG if a minimum of two positive results (at least one from each reference NAAT) was reported, as described in Table 14. Female subjects with positive results on both reference urine specimens and negative results on both reference endocervical swab specimens and the reference cervical sample were categorized as infected for urine and not infected for swab specimens. A subject was classified as non-infected if at least one of the reference NAATs reported negative results for all sample types.

If patient infected status could not be determined due to missing and/or indeterminate results from the reference tests, the subject was excluded from the analysis. PIS could not be determined for one subject.

5.2.3. Study Results

Table 15 through Table 22 summarize the data from the clinical specimen study.

Results from the cobas CT/NG Test were compared with the PIS for calculation of test sensitivity and specificity. A total of 21,988 CT and 21,987 NG results were analyzed by sex. sample type, and the presence of symptoms. The overall sensitivity and specificity for CT was 95.7% and 99.7%. The overall prevalence was 9.0% for CT (6.3% in women and 16.4% in men). The overall sensitivity and specificity for NG was 99.0% and 99.9%. The overall prevalence was 3.6% for NG (1.6% in women. 9.2% in men). Sensitivity, specificity, and prevalence for CT are presented in Table 15. Sensitivity, specificity, and prevalence for NG are presented in Table 16.

A comparison of patient infected status, test results from the reference tests and test results from the cobas CT/NG Test was performed. CT results for female subjects are presented in Table 17, and for male subjects in Table 18. NG results for female subjects are presented in Table 19. and for male subjects in Table 20.

The positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) were calculated using hypothetical prevalence rates and the cobas® CT/NG Test sensitivity and specificity determined in the study. The positive and negative predictive value estimates for CT are presented in Table 21, and for NG in Table 22.

§ 866.3120 Chlamydia serological reagents.

(a)
Identification. Chlamydia serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to chlamydia in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of chlamydia antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identify chlamydia directly from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by bacteria belonging to the genusChlamydia and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Chlamydia are the causative agents of psittacosis (a form of pneumonia), lymphogranuloma venereum (a venereal disease), and trachoma (a chronic disease of the eye and eyelid).(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls).
