Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
First Sign® Drug of Abuse MDMA Test
- Analytical Performance: Precision
- Precision studies were carried out for samples with concentrations of -100% cut-off, -50% cut-off, -25% cut-off, at the cut-off, +25% cut-off, +75% cut-off, +75% cut-off and +100% cut-off. These samples were prepared by spiking drug in negative urine samples. Each drug concentration was confirmed by GC/MS. All sample aliquots were blind-labeled and randomized by the person who prepared samples and did not take part in the sample testing. For each concentration, tests were performed two runs per day for 25 days by three different operators for each format of devices.
- Key results: The results demonstrate high precision across different concentrations and lots for both MDMA Dip Card and Cup formats. At -100% to -25% cutoff, all results were negative (e.g., 50-/0+), while at +25% to +100% cutoff, all results were positive (e.g., 50+/0-). At the cutoff concentration, there were a small number of negative results and a majority of positive results (e.g., 2-/48+ or 3-/47+).
- Analytical Performance: Cut-off
- A total of 150 samples equally distributed at concentrations of -50% cut-off; cutoff; +25% cut-off; +50% cut-off were tested using three different lots of each device by three different operators.
- Key results: Results were all positive at and above +25% cut-off and all negative at and below -25% cut-off for MDMA. The cut-off value for First Sign® Drug of Abuse MDMA Test is 500 ng/mL.
- Analytical Performance: Interference
- Potential interfering substances found in human urine of physiological conditions were added to drug-free urine and to urine containing target drugs at 25% below and 25% above cut-off levels. These urine samples were tested using three lots of each device for all formats.
- Key results: Numerous compounds showed no interference at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. There were no differences observed for different formats.
- Analytical Performance: Specificity
- Drug metabolites and other components that are likely to interfere in urine samples were tested using three lots of each device for all formats. The obtained lowest detectable concentration was used to calculate the cross-reactivity.
- Key results: MDMA showed 100% cross-reactivity at 500 ng/mL. MDA 6.3% at 8000 ng/mL, MDEA 50% at 1000 ng/mL, and Ephedrine 1.3% at 40000 ng/mL. D-methamphetamine, D-amphetamine, L-amphetamine, and L-methamphetamine were not detected at 100000 ng/mL. No differences were observed for different formats.
- Analytical Performance: Effect of Urine Specific Gravity and Urine pH
- Urine samples with a range of 1.000 to 1.035 specific gravity or urine samples with a range of pH 4 to 9 were spiked with target drugs at 25% below and 25% above cut-off levels. These samples were tested using three lots of each device for all formats.
- Key results: Results were all positive for samples at and above +25% Cut-Off and all negative for samples at and below -25% Cut-Off. No differences were observed for different formats.
- Comparison Studies:
- The method comparison studies for the First Sign® Drug of Abuse MDMA Test was performed in-house with three different laboratory assistants for each format of the device. Operators ran 80 (40 negative and 40 positive) unaltered clinical samples were blind labeled and compared to GC/MS results.

- Key results (Cup format): For Viewer A, 0 positive out of 40 negative GC/MS (1 discordant), and 40 positive out of 40 positive GC/MS.
- Lay-user study
- A lay user study was performed at three intended user sites with 280 lay persons testing the MDMA devices. Urine samples were prepared at the following concentrations: negative, +/-75%, +/-50%, +/-25% of the cutoff by spiking drugs into drug free-pooled urine specimens. The concentrations of the samples were confirmed by GC/MS. Each sample was aliquoted into individual containers and blind-labeled. Each participant was provided with the package insert, 1 blind labeled sample and a device.
- Key results (MDMA DipCard): For concentrations ranging from -100% to -25% Cutoff, 100% correct negative results were obtained. For concentrations ranging from +25% to +75% Cutoff, 95% to 100% correct positive results were obtained.

9. Test Principle
Each assay test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. During testing, a urine specimen migrates upward by capillary action. If target drugs are present in the urine specimen below its cut-off concentration, it will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody (monoclonal mouse antibody) coated on the particles. The antibody-coated particles will then be captured by immobilized drugconjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region. The will not form in the test line region if the target drug level exceeds its cut-off concentration because it will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody coated on the particles. A band should form in the control region of the devices regardless of the presence of drug or metabolite in the sample.
