More Information

No
The device description focuses on antibodies and automated staining systems, with no mention of AI or ML for image analysis or interpretation. The clinical interpretation is explicitly stated to be performed by a qualified pathologist.

No
The device is described as an aid in diagnosis and does not provide therapy or treatment. Its intended use is for the qualitative identification of specific proteins by immunohistochemical staining to detect mismatch repair protein deficiency, which aids in the identification of potential hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch Syndrome.

Yes

The device is intended for the "qualitative identification by light microscopy of human mismatch repair (MMR) proteins" and is "indicated for the detection of MMR protein deficiency as an aid in the identification of potential hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch Syndrome in patients diagnosed with CRC." These uses clearly fall under the definition of diagnosis, even though it specifies it is not for "diagnosis of CRC" itself. It aids in identifying a potential hereditary condition by assisting in the "detection of MMR protein deficiency," which is a diagnostic indicator.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device consists of "BOND Ready-to-Use (RTU) Primary Antibody (PA) products," which are physical reagents. It also mentions the use of "BOND-III or BOND-MAX fully automated systems," which are hardware instruments. While software is mentioned as part of these instruments, the core device being described is a panel of antibodies and its intended use with specific hardware, not a standalone software product.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended for the qualitative identification of human mismatch repair (MMR) proteins in human tissue sections using immunohistochemical staining. This process is performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens.
  • Purpose: The intended use explicitly states that the panel is "indicated for the detection of MMR protein deficiency as an aid in the identification of potential hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch Syndrome in patients diagnosed with CRC." This is a diagnostic purpose, providing information about a patient's condition.
  • Specimen Type: The device is used on "formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue sections," which are biological specimens.
  • Method: The method used is immunohistochemical staining, a common technique in in vitro diagnostics.
  • Clinical Interpretation: The intended use emphasizes that the results should be evaluated by a qualified pathologist within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests, highlighting its role in the diagnostic process.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes detailed analytical and clinical performance studies, which are typical requirements for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability for their intended diagnostic use.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (DEN170030; VENTANA MMR IHC Panel) further supports its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in regulatory submissions for new IVDs.

All these factors align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

counterstaining. The major components of the BOND staining platforms are the processing module, computer (BOND controller), handheld ID scanner, and slide label printer. The BOND staining platforms are composed of a number of discrete software components including the BOND application software, BOND instrument/processing module software, BOND service software, and Laboratory interface system - integration package (LIS-IP).

4.2 Test Principle

Immunohistochemical techniques can be used to demonstrate the presence of antigens in tissue and cells. MLH1 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (ES05), MSH2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (79H11), MSH6 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP49) and PMS2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP51) primary antibodies are Ready-to-Use products that have been specifically optimized for use on the automated BOND-MAX or BOND-III systems in combination with BOND Polymer Refine Detection.

The BOND Polymer Refine Detection Process is as follows:

  • The specimen is incubated with hydrogen peroxide to quench endogenous peroxidase ● activity.
  • The BOND Ready- to-Use Primary Antibody is applied. ●
  • A post primary antibody solution enhances penetration of the subsequent polymer reagent.
  • A poly-HRP anti-mouse/rabbit IgG reagent localizes the primary antibody.
  • The substrate chromogen, 3,3' diaminobenzidine (DAB), visualizes the complex via a ● brown precipitate.
  • Hematoxylin (blue) counterstaining allows the visualization of cell nuclei.

4.3 Summary and Explination

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer with 1.8 million new cases diagnosed globally in 2018. While histopathologic features provide primary indications of pathogenesis, a more detailed understanding of the genetic drivers of this disease have emerged in recent years. A significant factor in approximately 15% of colorectal cancer cases is the presence of defects in the mismatch repair (MMR) system that result in microsatellite instability (MSI).235 MSI has both prognostic and predictive significance and in about 12% of colorectal cancers it arises from epigenetic silencing or somatic mutations of MMR genes. The remaining 3% of cases are often referred to as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and are associated with Lynch Syndrome (LS), one of the most common cancer susceptibility syndromes. 3

Lynch Syndrome is caused by germline mutations in at least one of the four DNA MMR genes - MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2.23 The MMR proteins encoded by these genes play a vital role in maintaining genetic integrity during the cell cycle. Disruption of their function leads to a failure in the repair of errors made during DNA replication, an accumulation of which can lead to MSI and promote carcinogenesis. Lynch syndrome is associated with a 50-70% lifetime risk of colorectal cancer and an increased risk of other malignancies. Identification of such high risk individuals is vital so that surveillance and screening programs for family members can be initiated. 334

4.5 Controls

Internal Positive Tissue Control 4.5.1

Normal epithelial cells in the vicinity of the tumor or infiltrating lymphocytic cells, fibroblasts, nerves and muscle integral to the patient specimen can serve as an internal positive tissue control for MLH1 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (ES05) as they should exhibit expression of MLH1 even if the tumor in the patient specimen is deficient for the protein. The presence of staining elicited by MLH1 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (ES05) in an internal positive tissue control indicates the following:

    1. The tissue of the patient specimen has been subjected to suitable processing and fixation to allow the epitope of the target protein to be detected via IHC.
    1. The staining procedure has been performed correctly on the slide mounted with the patient specimen.
    1. The primary antibody is performing as intended and staining the corresponding protein.

4.5.2 Negative Reagent Control

For each patient specimen, a negative reagent control must be used to stain an additional slide-mounted tissue section to that stained with the primary antibody. This will determine whether the primary antibody is reacting with the patient tissue in a non-specific manner. BOND Ready-to-Use Negative Control Negative (Mouse) is recommended as the negative reagent control for use in conjunction with MLH1 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (ES05) and MSH2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (79H11). BOND Ready-to-Use Negative Control Negative (Rabbit) is recommended as the negative reagent control for use in conjunction with MSH6 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP49) and PMS2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP51).

4.6 Interpretation of Results

Hematoxylin and Eosin stained slides are used to assess the overall quality of the sample for each case. An assessment should be made of the quality and quantity of the tumor content of the CRC sample. Cases should be voided if there is insufficient tumor (less than 50 viable tumor cells) available to score or if the sample is poorly fixed or otherwise of a poor enough quality that renders interpretation of the case impossible. The MMR protein status for each IHC marker shall be assigned following the decision summary illustrated in the flowchart below.

8

Image /page/8/Figure/1 description: This image is a flowchart outlining the process for evaluating MMR marker status. The flowchart begins with the evaluation of H&E slides, checking for sufficient tumor presence (≥50 viable tumor cells) and tissue quality. Subsequent evaluations include negative isotype control slides and MMR stained slides, assessing the acceptability of controls and nuclear staining. The flowchart concludes with assigning a status of MMR marker 'INTACT' or 'LOSS' based on the staining results.

Decision Summary Flowchart - MMR Protein Status for each IHC Marker

  • Any staining seen in the Negative Isotype Controls should be taken into account when interpreting the MMR antibody stained test sections. If any staining is judged to be of sufficient intensity to adversely affect the interpretation of the test sections then this should be classed as unacceptable and the case voided.

** Weaker than internal positive control cells

To obtain the BOND MMR Antibody Panel results, each individual marker (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2) will be scored as protein loss or protein intact according to the device's scoring criteria. The loss of one or more of these proteins within one specimen will be considered an MMR loss. To obtain an intact panel result, all four proteins must be scored as intact.

Limitations

  • MLH1 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (ES05), MSH2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (79H11), MSH6 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP49), and PMS2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP51) have been solely cleared for use on the BOND-III and BOND-Max instrument with the BOND Polymer Refine Detection Kit and is not cleared with any other automated staining instruments or detection methods.
  • MLH1 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (ES05), MSH2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (79H11), MSH6 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP49), and PMS2 (Mismatch Repair Protein) (EP51) have been optimized at Leica Biosystems for use with BOND Polymer Refine Detection and BOND ancillary reagents.
  • . The effect of retrieval, incubation times or temperatures other than those specified is unknown and may give erroneous results. Users who deviate from the listed protocol must accept responsibility for interpretation of patient results.
  • The protocol times may vary, due to variation in tissue fixation and the effectiveness of antigen enhancement, and must be determined empirically.

Page 7 of 36

10

Negative reagent controls should be used when optimizing retrieval conditions and protocol times.

  • For staining interpretation, there must be ≥50 viable tumor cells present for . evaluation.
  • . The stratification of MMR loss cases via BRAF is not recommended as the presence of BRAFV600E does not definitively exclude Lynch Syndrome as a possible aetiologyetiology. Use of this test with a BRAF test may lead to increased false negative results.
  • . Test Results obtained using the product must be interpreted by healthcare professionals in conjunction with other clinical findings, family history and other laboratory data.
  • . The clinical performance of this device to guide treatment of MMR deficient patients has not been established.

The similar Indications for Use / Intended Use, and substantially equivalent usability, functionality, and performance characteristics for the proposed the subject device have been assessed to be substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate device, and any differences do not raise new or different issues of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.

Special Controls 6.2

The device meets all General Controls and Special Controls listed for regulation 21CFR 864.1866. Documentation and data supporting the Specific to this product classification were documented in the submission and summarized in this document and the product label.

7. Performance Characteristics

7.1 Analytical performance

7.1.1 Precision

Three studies were performed to evaluate the precision of the BOND MMR Antibody Panel.

i. Precision across Lots and Days on the BOND-III and BOND-MAX Instruments This study was conducted at 1 site using 3 lots of BOND Ready To Use MMR Primary Antibody for each of the 4 MMR proteins. Slides from 40 FFPE CRC tissue cases, 10 cases per MMR protein, with 5 cases being protein deficient and 5 cases expressing intact protein were tested. Each case was stained 18 times [3 Slide Staining Assembly (SSAs) x 6 days] on 1 BOND-III and 1 BOND-MAX instrument. Testing was performed over 6 nonconsecutive days following a randomized testing order. Therefore, a total of 1440 slides (4 antibodies x 10 samples x 3 SSAs x 2 instruments x 6 days) were evaluated. A single pathologist read and scored all stained slides.

Positive percent agreement (PPA), negative percent agreement (NPA) and overall percent agreement (OPA) were calculated, comparing the antibody status of each processed slide determined by the pathologist to the majority score. Point estimates along with 2-sided 95% confidence intervals were calculated separately by instrument and by antibody. All slides from one case for MSH2 staining were excluded from BOND-III data analysis (n = 18) and from BOND-MAX data analysis (n = 18) because the case had insufficient tumor.

Intra-run Repeatability:

Intra-run repeatability was evaluated using 40 FFPE CRC tissue cases, 10 cases per MMR protein, with 5 cases being protein deficient (protein loss) and 5 cases

expressing intact protein (intact). Six (6) slides were stained using each panel antibody. Data were obtained using 1 lot of each panel antibody from 60 total observations (10 cases x 3 replicates x 2 days x 1 instrument) for each panel antibody on BOND-III and from 60 total observations (10 cases x 3 replicates x 2 days x 1 instrument) for each panel antibody on BOND-MAX. Intra-run repeatability OPA was 100% for each panel antibody on both instruments except MSH2 on BOND-III (OPA 98.1%, PPA 100%, NPA 95.8%) and PMS2 on BOND-MAX (OPA 98.3%, PPA 100%, NPA 96.7%).

Between-dav Precision:

Between-day repeatability was evaluated using the same CRC cases used for intrarun testing. Three (3) slides were stained using each of the 4 panel antibodies across 6 non-consecutive days on BOND-III and BOND-MAX. For Day 1 and 2, the first six slides from each case from Intra-run precision study were used. Data were obtained from 180 total observations (10 cases x 3 replicates x 6 days x 1 instrument) for each panel antibody on BOND-III and from 180 total observations (10 cases x 3 replicates x 6 days x 1 instrument) for each panel antibody on BOND-MAX [Note: MSH2 evaluation was conducted with 4 intact and 5 loss status cases (9 total cases) for a total of 162 observations per instrument since 1 case was excluded due to insufficient tumor]. Between-day repeatability OPA was 100% for each panel antibody on both instruments except MSH2 on BOND-III (OPA 98.8%, PPA 98.9%, NPA 98.6%), MSH6 on BOND-III (OPA 99.4%, PPA 98.9%, NPA 100%) and BOND-MAX (OPA 99.4%, PPA 100%, NPA 98.9%), PMS2 on BOND-III (OPA 98.9%, PPA 98.9%, NPA 98.9%) and BOND-MAX (OPA 99.4%, PPA 100%, NPA 98.9%).

Table 2 Summary of Between-dav Precision

Between-lot Precision:

The study evaluated lot to lot repeatability with 3 final lots of each of the 4 panel antibodies using the same CRC cases as intra-run testing. Three (3) slides per case were stained using each panel antibody across 6 non-consecutive days (2 days per lot) on BOND-III and BOND-MAX. Data were obtained from 180 total observations (10 cases x 3 replicates x 2 days x 3 lots) for each panel antibody on BOND-III and from 180 total observations (10 cases x 3 replicates x 2 days x 3 lots) for each panel antibody on BOND-MAX. [Note: MSH2 evaluation was conducted with 4 intact and 5 loss status cases (9 cases total) for a total of 162 observations per instrument since 1 case was excluded due to insufficient tumor]. Between-lot repeatability OPA was 100% for each panel antibody on both instruments with the exception of MSH2 on BOND-III (OPA 98.8%, PPA 98.9%, NPA 98.6%), MSH6 on BOND-III (OPA 99.4%, PPA 98.9%) and BOND-MAX (OPA 99.4%, NPA 98.9%), PMS2 on BOND-III (OPA 98.9%, PPA 98.9%, NPA 98.9%) and BOND-MAX (OPA 99.4%, NPA 98.9%). The study met pre-specified acceptance criteria of >85% lower bound confidence interval. Results for individual panel antibodies are shown in Table 3 below.

Table 3 Summarv of Between-lot Precision

The results support that the BOND MMR Antibody Panel on BOND-III and on BOND-MAX have acceptable levels of precision (repeatability) across lots and davs.

ii. Reproducibility across Laboratories and Pathologists on the BOND-III and BOND-MAX Instruments

This study was conducted at 3 sites using 1 lot of the BOND MMR antibody for each of the 4 MMR proteins. Slides from 30 FFPE CRC tissue cases were tested, including cases being protein deficient and cases expressing intact proteins. Each case was stained on 1 BOND-III and 1 BOND MAX instrument per site, for a total of 6 times (3 sites x 2 instruments). Testing was performed on 6 non-consecutive days over a minimum 20-day testing period, following randomized testing orders. A single pathologist per site read and scored all stained slides from that site. In addition, 3 pathologists read and scored a set of 30 cases stained at 1 site in 3 scoring sessions separated by a washout period of at least 14 days.

acceptable levels of precision (reproducibility).

Intra- and Inter-Pathologist Reproducibilitv:

Intra-pathologist and inter-pathologist reproducibility were assessed by evaluating concordance of marker status across 3 pathologists and within individual pathologists using 30 cases of CRC stained at 1 site on BOND-III and BOND-MAX. These 30 CRC specimens consisted of varying number of cases with loss or intact MMR protein status as shown in Table 4. Each reader scored all 30 cases in three rounds that were separated by a two week wash out period. Data was obtained from 270 total observations (30 cases x 3 replicate x 3 pathologists) for each of the 4 panel antibodies for BOND-III, and from 270 total observations (30 cases x 3 replicate x 3 pathologists) for each panel antibody for BOND-MAX. Intrapathologist reproducibility OPA ranged from 99.3% to 100%, PPA ranged from 99.2% to 100%. The results are shown below in Table 5. Inter-pathologist reproducibility OPA ranged from 99.3% to 100%, PPA ranged from 99.2% to 100%. The results are shown below in Table 6. The studies met the pre-specified acceptance criteria.

Inter-laboratorv Reproducibilitv:

The reproducibility of the BOND MMR Antibody Panel was assessed at 3 sites using the same cases as Inter-pathologist and Intra-pathologist reproducibility. Multiple tissue sections were cut from each case. Three (3) sites (2 external and 1 internal) stained all cases with the designated antibody and the appropriate negative reagent control (NRC) antibody spanning a period of at least 20 days. One pathologist at each site independently evaluated each case to determine the status (intact or loss).

Data was obtained from 90 total observations (30 cases x 1 replicate x 3 sites) for each of the 4 panel antibodies for BOND-III, and from 90 total observations (30 cases x 1 replicate x 3 sites) for each panel antibody for BOND-MAX. Reproducibility OPA ranged from 98.9% to 100%, PPA ranged from 98.8% to 100%. The study met pre-specified acceptance criteria. Results for the overall panel and each panel antibody on BOND-III and BOND-MAX are shown in Table 8 below.

iii. Reproducibility across Davs and Laboratories on BOND-III

To evaluate the inter-day and inter-site reproducibility of the BOND MMR Antibody Panel on the BOND-III Instrument, 24 FFPE CRC tissue cases were tested, including 3 intact and 3 loss cases for each of the 4 MMR proteins, at 3 testing sites. At each site, slides were stained with 1 reagent lot of the antibodies using 1 BOND-III instrument. Two staining runs were performed each day to test slides from the 24 cases on each of 5 nonconsecutive test days at each site. A total of 360 slides (6 cases × 4 antibodies × 3 sites × 5 days) were evaluated. At each site, one pathologist read and scored stained slides stained at their site in accordance with the scoring guidance. The slides stained on the same day were scored together in the same scoring session. Different scoring sessions occurred on nonconsecutive days.

PPA, NPA and OPA were calculated for point estimates along with 2-sided 95% confidence intervals by comparing the antibody status of each processed slide determined by the pathologist to the majority score. The majority score was determined by combining runs across all sites. At one site, 12 slides failed due to temperature error. New unstained slides were repeat stained and read and scored successfully.

Results of the study are summarized in Table 9 to Table 13. The overall reproducibility OPA ranged from 94.4% to 100%, PPA ranged from 91.7% to 100%, NPA ranged from 97.8% to 100%. The lower bound of the two-sided 95% Confidence Interval for OPA, PPA and NPA for each antibody are ≥ 85% with 1 exception. For MSH6, PPA was 91.7% (95% CI: 81.9% - 96.4%). All 5 discordant results were from one case and 4 of the 5 slides were stained at a single site. This

case was investigated and the study pathologists agreed that it was challenging to interpret due to the very focal staining impacting scoring.

The results support that the BOND MMR Antibody Panel on BOND-III have acceptable levels of precision (reproducibility) across days and testing sites.

7.1.2 Stability:

The below stability studies were conducted for the BOND MMR Antibody Panel :

  • . Reagent Stability Studies
    • o Real-Time Stability Tests
    • Accelerated Stability Tests o
    • 0 Freeze Thaw Stability Tests
  • Cut Slide Stability Studies
  • i. Reagent Stability Studies:

Stability testing of the BOND MMR antibodies was evaluated by performing Accelerated stability testing and Real Time shelf-life testing. The Accelerated stability was evaluated using accelerated shelf-life tests and was followed up by long term stability with Real Time shelf-life tests.

The stability of the BOND MMR antibodies was evaluated using three batches of each of the four antibodies.

Prior to the initiation of both accelerated and real-time stability testing, one batch of each antibody underwent transport simulation as preconditioning. The Transport Simulation Batches were stored for a minimum of 24 hours at 2-8°C, the required aliquots were removed from recommended storage conditions and transferred to 27-33°C for 2 days, then returned to recommended storage conditions for at least 1 day, then transferred to 37-43°C for 2 days.

A Day 0 test was performed where a minimum of 3 cases were stained and a 0-4 scale used as the reference. Day 0 slides were required to have a staining intensity of at least 2+ in the most intensely-staining tumor region to be included in the study.

Accelerated Stability

Following transport cycling, the lot of the antibody was stored at 34-40 ℃ and at 24-30°C. Timepoints for testing at 34-40 °C were 7 and 10 weeks; timepoints for testing at 24-30°C were 14 and 20 weeks. If a testing failure occurred at either timepoint for 34-40 ℃ then the study reverted to testing units stored at 24-30°C. If units stored at 24-30°C failed then accelerated stability was discontinued and real time data used. At each time point, staining intensities of the slides were compared with the ones stained at Day 0. The intensity had to be at least 2+ for all slides to pass the acceptance criteria.

Real Time Shelf-Life Tests

Real time stability was evaluated for three conditions: long term stability (Real-time Shelf Life Test), in-use stability (In Use Test), transport simulation (Transport Test). The study was continued up to 545 Days (18-month timepoint including a safety margin)

    1. The in-use stability test batch was stored at 2-8°C until required for testing where an 'In Use' aliquot of the antibody for each time points was cycled for 35 cycles by storing at 34-40°C for 7 hours. At the end of each 7 hour period containers were returned to 2-8°C. The units were tested on or after 35 cycles.
    1. The transport simulation batches were stored for a minimum of 24 hours at 2-8°C, the required aliquots were removed from recommended storage conditions and transferred to 27-339C for 2 days, then returned to recommended storage conditions for at least 1 day, then transferred to 37-43°C for 2 days. Units were returned thereafter to their recommended storage conditions for a period of at least 24 hours before testing.
    1. The real time stability test for the three batches were performed on Day 0 and then subsequent time points. Tissues stained at each time point were compared to a Day 0 control tissue and a -77 - -83°C control.

Freeze-Thaw Tests

The freeze-thaw batch underwent freeze-thaw preconditioning prior to day 0 testing. Three vials of the batch were stored at -77 - -83°C for a minimum of 24 hours. The aliquots were then placed at 2-8℃ to thaw overnight and were tested alongside and compared to an aliquot stored only at 2-8°C. The freezethaw batch was not subjected to transport simulation.

At each time point, staining intensities of the slides were compared with the ones stained at Day 0. The intensity was required to be at least 2+ for all slides to pass the acceptance criteria. If the test failed, then study either reverted to the lower temperatures or in the case of a real time failure the study would be aborted.

Results

All four antibodies passed the transport simulation testing and the freeze-thaw testing. The anti-MLH1, anti-MSH2 and anti-PMS2 antibodies passed real

Page 22 of 36

time stability testing at 545 days. This supports a maximum shelf life for these antibodies of 12 months. The antibody of anti-MSH6 passed the accelerated stability testing at 7 weeks and the real time stability testing at 365 days. This supports a maximum shelf life for this antibody of 7 months.

ii. Cut slide Stability:

To evaluate the stability of the cut slides, 60 x 3um sections were cut from each of three FFPE CRC tissue cases for a total of 180 slides. Six slides of each FFPE CRC tissue case were stained on Day 0 on the BOND-III system with one lot of each of the four antibodies along with the negative reagent controls, scored on a 0-4+ scale and used as the reference. All three cases are intact for all four MMR proteins with the staining intensity being at least 2+ in the most intensely-staining tumor region. The remaining slides of each FFPE CRC tissue case were stored at ambient/room temperature for 7, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 and 77 days. At each timepoint, six slides of each FFPE CRC tissue case were stained the same way as above and compared with the ones stained at baseline. In addition, at each of these timepoints, freshly cut sections of the same three tissue cases were stained with each of the four antibodies as a quality control. The intensity was required to be at least 2+ to pass the acceptance criteria. Results of the study showed that the epitopes recognized by each of the four antibodies in FFPE CRC tissue cases remain stable for a period of time up to and including 11 weeks post sectioning when the tissue sections are mounted onto slides and stored at ambient/room temperature, therefore supporting epitope stability claims in cut sections of up to 10 weeks.

7.1.3 Analytical specificity:

Analytical specificity was addressed in two separate studies for each of the MMR panel antibodies. The first addressed antibody specificity and the second addressed immunoreactivity in normal and neoplastic tumor specimen.

Western Blot and IHC: i.

Western blot analyses were conducted to demonstrate that the antibodies specifically detect the proteins of predicted molecular weight for each of the 4 BOND MMR antibodies using cell lines with known MMR loss or intact status. Cell lines used in the study were generated using lysates from the PANC-1 (human epithelial pancreas/duct carcinoma) for MLH1 and MSH2 and lysates from the A431 (human epidermoid carcinoma) for MSH6 and PMS2. Western Blots confirmed presence of reactive bands at expected molecular weighs for each of the 4 MMR proteins.

IHC tests were conducted using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cell lines described in the table below to assess nonspecific binding in the context of use. The results of the IHC with engineered cell lines was consistent with expected reactivity.

Table 14 Western Blot Analysis

26

| Antibody | Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Cell
Lines for IHC Testing |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| MMR INTACT | Breast adenocarcinoma cell line that carries
no specific MMR mutations |
| MLH1 & PMS2 LOSS | Prostate carcinoma cell line with a splice site
mutation between exon 1 and exon 2 of the
MLH1 gene which causes the deletion of 5
coding nucleotides |
| MSH2 LOSS | Colon adenocarcinoma cell line that carries a
homozygous deletion of exons 3 to 8 in the
MSH2 gene |
| MSH6 LOSS | A colon adenocarcinoma cell line that is
known to harbour a 1 base pair deletion
mutation in one allele of the MSH6 gene and
a sequence deletion/insertion involving 5 base
pairs in the other allele |

The combined results from western blots and cell line IHC demonstrated specific antibody reactivity for each of the 4 MMR proteins included in the BOND MMR antibody panel.

ii. Immunoreactivity:

Immunoreactivity of the BOND MMR antibodies was tested across multiple cases of normal and tumor tissue types. The summary of staining results with the panel antibodies is shown in Table 15 to Table 17. Staining of these ubiquitously expressed nuclear proteins was observed in normal and neoplastic tissues as expected.

7.2 Clinical Performance:

The clinical validity of the BOND MMR Antibody Panel was determined in a study that assessed agreement between test results obtained from the BOND MMR Antibody Panel and a molecular test based on a DNA sequencing panel validated for detecting presence of pathogenic mutations likely to affect MMR protein expression in CRC. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the ability of the panel to correctly aid in the identification of patients needing additional Lynch syndrome genetic testing.

Eligible remnant FFPE CRC tissues ("cases") were procured, with at least 100 sequential cases with unknown mismatch repair (MMR) status (also referred to as the Sequential cohort) and at least 48 cases with known MMR protein deficiencies (also referred to as the Enrichment cohort). Specimens from the two cohorts were combined, randomized and processed to create slides evaluation with BOND MMR Antibody Panel testing and the DNA sequencing testing. Staining with the BOND MMR Antibody Panel was performed on BOND-III system in accordance with the instructions for use (IFUs). One pathologist at the testing site read and scored BOND MMR Antibody Panel stained slides in accordance with the scoring guidance.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • FFPE CRC tissue block with matched normal blood, saliva, or FFPE tissue and
  • (Sequential cohort) With unknown MMR protein status, sequentially obtained ● from a single US site or
  • (Enrichment cohort) With known immunohistochemistry (IHC) MMR protein ● status obtained from multiple sites, including:
    • 0 MLH1 and PMS2 loss
    • MSH2 and MSH6 loss O
    • isolated PMS2 loss O
    • O isolated MSH6 loss

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Tissue requirements for comparator DNA sequencing panel were not met ●
  • . Lack of sufficient tumor.

There were 155 cases procured for the study. One case was excluded due to not meeting the Enrichment cohort inclusion criteria. Of the remaining 154 cases eligible for the study, One case had insufficient tumor for both DNA sequencing and BOND MMR Antibody Panel testing, three cases had insufficient tumor for DNA sequencing, and seven cases did not have MMR Stained Slides interpreted due to the H&E Slide showing less than 50 viable tumor cells present for evaluation, not meeting the tissue requirements required by the BOND MMR Antibody Panel. Therefore, of the 154 eligible cases, 143 were tested by both methods (94 sequential cases and 49 enriched cases). Assessment of the demographic data associated with the study specimens determined that it was consistent with the intended use population.

Table 18 MMR Status of the Enrichment Cohort

BOND MMR Antibody Panel results (MMR loss or MMR intact) were compared to the

DNA sequencing panel results for pathogenic mutation(s) in the combined cohort (Sequential and Enrichment cohorts), and in the Sequential cohort and the Enrichment cohort, respectively. PPA, NPA, and OPA along with 2-sided 95% Wilson score confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.

Of the 143 specimens tested by the BOND MMR Antibody Panel and the DNA sequencing panel, ten (10) cases had invalid DNA sequencing panel results due to testing not meeting quality control standards and were excluded from the agreement analysis. The remaining 133 of 143 cases had valid results by both methods and were evaluable. Results of the study are summarized in Table 19 to Table 21. The point estimates of agreement between the BOND MMR Antibody Panel and the DNA sequencing panel in the combined cohort were PPA 93.3%, NPA 95.9% and OPA 94.7%.

Accuracy by MMR proteins: The concordance for MMR gene mutation status by the DNA sequencing panel and MMR protein loss by the BOND MMR Antibody Panel was also compared individually for each antibody. When compared to the results to the DNA sequencing panel, the OPA of each MMR protein ranged from 94.0% to 98.5%, the PPA ranged from 65.0% to 97.5%, the NPA ranged from 95.7% to 99.2%. Results are summarized in Table 22 to Table 24.

MLH1: Of the 37 MLH1 mutation positive cases, 33 had MLH1 protein loss when assessed by the BOND MMR Antibody Panel. Of the 4 MLH1 mutation positive cases with discordant BOND MMR Antibody results (i.e., intact), the following was found:

  • One case had MLH1 promoter hypermethylation ●
  • One case had a single somatic MLH1 pathogenic mutation with Copy-neutral ● loss of heterozygosity (CN-LOH)

Page 31 of 36

34

  • One case had 2 MLH1 somatic mutations as well as MLH1 promoter ● hypermethylation
  • One case had a single somatic MLH1 pathogenic mutation and microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) status.

Three of the cases also showed PMS2 protein loss.

MSH2: Of the 13 MSH2 mutation positive cases, 12 had MSH2 protein loss when assessed by the BOND MMR Antibody Panel. A single MSH2 mutation positive case with discordant BOND MMR Antibody results (i.e., intact) was identified. This case was characterized by a single MSH2 pathogenic mutation combined with MSI-H status; an MSH2 Variant of Unknown Significance (VUS) was also identified. MSH6 protein was also intact.

MSH6: Of the 20 MSH6 mutation positive cases, 13 had MSH6 protein loss when assessed by the BOND MMR Antibody Panel. Of the 7 MSH6 mutation positive cases with discordant BOND MMR Antibody results (ie, MSH6 intact), the cases were characterized as follows:

  • A single MSH2 pathogenic mutation combined with MSI-H status; an MSH2 ● VUS was also identified. MSH2 protein was preserved.
  • One pathogenic variant of somatic origin in the MSH2 gene, MSI-H status and ● MSH2 protein loss.
  • Germline pathogenic mutation in MSH2 with CN-LOH and MSH2 protein loss, as well as a single germline pathogenic mutation in PMS2 and a single somatic pathogenic mutation in MSH6.
  • A germline and a somatic mutation in MSH6 as well as multiple VUS.
  • Two somatic mutations in MSH6 consistent with biallelic somatic mutations as ● well as a single germline mutation in PMS2 with PMS2 protein loss.
  • . Two pathogenic variants of somatic origin in MSH6 gene, and one pathogenic mutation of somatic mutation in MSH2, MSI-High status, and a PMS2 VUS was also identified.
  • One pathogenic variant of somatic origin in MSH6 gene with MLH1 and ● PMS2 protein loss, as well as MSI-High.

Of the 7 MSH6 mutation positive cases with discordant BOND MMR Antibody results (i.e. MSH6 intact), 4 demonstrated IHC loss when stained using the BOND MMR Antibody Panel and these cases should receive additional diagnostic testing consistent with clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis of Lynch syndrome.

PMS2: Of the 40 PMS2 mutation positive cases, 39 had PMS2 protein loss when assessed by the BOND MMR Antibody Panel. A single PMS2 mutation positive cases with discordant BOND MMR Antibody results (i.e., intact) was identified. This case was characterized by a MLH1 promoter hypermethylation combined with MSI-S status. MLH1 protein staining was also intact.
