Intended Use

INNOVANCE Antithrombin is a chromogenic assay for the automated quantitation of functionally active antithrombin in human citrated plasma and can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of antithrombin deficiency.

INNOVANCE Antithrombin is indicated as an aid in monitoring antithrombin activity to support QFITLIA (fitusiran) dosing in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with hemophilia A or B with or without factor VIII or IX inhibitors.

Device Description

The INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay is suitable for the determination of physiologically active antithrombin on automatic analyzers and enables the diagnosis of inherited or acquired antithrombin deficiencies. The INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay utilizes a chromogenic measuring principle. An excess of human factor Xa is added to citrated plasma. In the presence of heparin, a portion of the enzyme is complexed and inactivated by the antithrombin present in the sample. Excess, uninhibited factor Xa then cleaves a specific chromogenic substrate, causing the release of a dye. The substrate cleavage is determined by the increase in the absorbance value at 405 nm. The release of dye is inversely proportional to the inhibiting activity of antithrombin in the plasma sample, i.e., the smaller the concentration of functionally active antithrombin, the higher the absorbance signal per time unit.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the analytical and clinical performance of the INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay, particularly in relation to guiding QFITLIA (fitusiran) dosing. It's important to note that this document is for an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device (an assay), not a software-based AI/ML device that typically involves human readers and image analysis. Therefore, some of the requested information (like number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or training set details for an AI algorithm) are not directly applicable or found in this type of submission.

However, I will extract and infer the closest applicable information based on the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For an IVD device like the INNOVANCE Antithrombin, acceptance criteria are typically related to analytical performance characteristics that demonstrate the assay's reliability and accuracy. The document highlights precision (repeatability/reproducibility), analytical specificity (interference), and detection capabilities (limit of quantitation).

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance Criterion (Implicit/Explicit)Reported Device Performance (INNOVANCE Antithrombin)
PrecisionRepeatability (within-run precision)Pathological Plasma Pool 1 (mean: 15.73 % of norm): Repeatability CV: 8.77 % Pathological Plasma Pool 2 (mean: 9.75 % of norm): Repeatability SD: 1.36 % of Norm

Analytical SpecificityInterference (from common substances & therapeutics)No interference up to: - Triglycerides 211 mg/dL - Hemoglobin 1000 mg/dL - Bilirubin 60 mg/dL No interferences from therapeutics up to: - Desmopressin: 0.0144 µg/mL - Tranexamic Acid: 0.48 mg/mL - Recombinant Factor VIIa: 2.16 µg/mL - Coagulation Factor VIII: 0.96 IU/mL - Coagulation Factor IX: 1.44 IU/mL - Activated Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (aPCC): 2.4 IU/mL
Detection CapabilitiesLimit of Quantitation (LoQ)LoQ was determined as 7.32% of norm. (Calculated based on a Total Error goal of not exceeding 4% of norm).
Clinical PerformanceAid in monitoring AT activity for QFITLIA dosing to achieve target rangeClinical data from the ATLAS-OLE study demonstrated that individualized QFITLIA AT-DR using the INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay was successful at achieving AT levels within the targeted AT activity range of 15-35%. Median observed annualized bleeding rate (IQR) for treated bleeds was 3.7 (0.0; 7.5) overall, 1.9 (0.0; 5.6) in inhibitor patients and 3.8 (0.0; 11.2) in non-inhibitor patients. This supports its use for safe and effective dosing.

Study Information

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

    • Analytical Performance Studies (Test Set):

      • Precision (Single Site): n=240 determinations (3 reagent lots, 20 days, 2 runs/day, 2 samples/run for 2 pathological plasma pools).
      • Reproducibility (Multi-Site): Each of the three internal study sites performed 5 runs per day with 3 replicates of each of the two pathological plasma pools per run (3x5x2x3). The total number of unique samples or determinations isn't given as a single 'n' for the entire reproducibility study, but it involves multiple runs and replicates across sites.
      • Analytical Specificity/Interference: Panel of exogenous substances tested on two plasma pools (low AT activity ~10-15% of norm, and high AT activity ~90% of norm). Specific 'n' values for samples tested per interferent are not given, but described as "paired-difference experiments".
      • Limit of Quantitation (LoQ): n=120 determinations (4 replicates of 5 patient samples, run once per day for 3 days using 2 reagent lots on one BCS XP System).
      • Data Provenance: The analytical studies were performed "internally at the Siemens company site in Germany (Site 1)" and "three (3) internal study sites (Sites 1, 2, and 3)". This implies prospective data collection for these specific validation studies. The clinical data used for drug dosing came from a multicenter clinical trial (ATLAS-OLE study).
    • Clinical Validation Data (Test Set for new indication):

      • QFITLIA ATLAS-OLE Study: A total of 227 patients were treated with QFITLIA. Of these, 213 patients were transitioned to an AT-DR (Antithrombin-based Dosing Regimen) with the target AT activity range of 15-35%. 199 patients started at the 50 mg dose every other month with dosing guided by INNOVANCE Antithrombin.
      • Data Provenance: This was a multicenter, open-label extension study (ATLAS-OLE, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03754790). The text indicates AT activity was measured "at baseline (prior to QFITLIA initiation) as well as after QFITLIA exposure throughout the ATLAS-OLE study". This is prospective clinical trial data. The country of origin for the patient data is not explicitly stated but is typically international for large clinical trials.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • This is an IVD assay clearance, not an AI/ML device in image analysis. Therefore, there are no "experts" in the sense of human readers interpreting clinical data for an algorithm's ground truth.
    • The "ground truth" for an IVD device's performance is typically established by:
      • Reference Methods: Highly accurate, established laboratory methods.
      • Clinical Outcomes/Patient Status: For the clinical validation, the "ground truth" is the patient's actual antithrombin activity level using the assay itself, and subsequently, the clinical outcomes related to bleeding rates and successful maintenance of AT levels within the therapeutic range under QFITLIA dosing. The QFITLIA clinical trial (ATLAS-OLE) provides this clinical outcome data.
    • The expertise lies in the chemists, biochemists, and clinical laboratory scientists who designed and ran the analytical validation studies, and the clinical investigators (e.g., hematologists) involved in the QFITLIA clinical trial who managed patient care and assessed clinical outcomes. Their qualifications are inherent to conducting such studies, but not explicitly detailed as "experts establishing ground truth" in the same way as for AI.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable for this type of IVD device. Adjudication methods like 2+1 (two readers agree, third resolves discrepancy) are common in AI/ML clinical validation studies involving human interpretation (e.g., radiology reads). For an assay, measurements are quantitative and discrepancies would be resolved through re-testing, calibration checks, or instrument troubleshooting, not human adjudication of a qualitative decision.
  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:

    • Not applicable as this is an IVD assay, not an AI/ML device assisting human readers.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • The core "performance" of this device is its analytical measurement. The "standalone" performance here refers to the assay's ability to accurately quantify antithrombin activity itself, which is what the analytical performance studies (precision, interference, LoQ) demonstrate. There isn't an "algorithm" in the typical AI sense; it's a chemical reaction and spectrophotometric measurement. The clinical validation then shows that this standalone measurement (AT activity) is useful in guiding QFITLIA dosing, which is "without human-in-the-loop performance" of the assay itself, though humans still perform the dosing decisions based on the assay output.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Analytical Ground Truth: For precision, the "ground truth" samples were "pathological plasma pools" with known/target mean AT activities. For interference, the "ground truth" for "no interference" was defined by comparing results with and without interferent, with acceptance based on a predefined allowable difference (e.g., within X% of the control). For LoQ, calibration standards and accepted statistical methods (CLSI document EP17-A2) were used to determine the lowest reliable measurable concentration.
    • Clinical Ground Truth: For the clinical validation, the "ground truth" for the device's utility in QFITLIA dosing was clinical outcomes data from the ATLAS-OLE study, specifically:
      • The ability to achieve and maintain AT activity levels within the target therapeutic range (15-35%).
      • The observed annualized bleeding rates in patients whose dosing was guided by the assay.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • This is an IVD assay, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The assay works based on established chemical principles, not on being trained on a dataset.
    • The closest analogy might be the samples used for initial assay development, calibration, and internal optimization, but these are not referred to as a "training set" in this context.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this IVD assay in the AI/ML sense.

4. Device Description / Test Principle

Antithrombin (AT) is a main inhibitor of enzymatic activity in the coaqulation processes and is synthesized in the liver. This serine protease inhibits different coaqulation factors, with thrombin and factor Xa being the primary target enzymes. The inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa by antithrombin is amplified approximately 1,000-fold in the presence of heparin.

The INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay is suitable for the determination of physiologically active antithrombin on automatic analyzers and enables the diagnosis of inherited or acquired antithrombin deficiencies. A genetically caused antithrombin deficiency leads to reduced antithrombin activity with reduced protein concentration (type I deficiency) or normal protein concentration (type II deficiency). Acquired antithrombin deficiency occurs as a result of reduced synthesis, increased protein consumption, or as a result of protein loss in conditions such as DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation), sepsis, acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, increased protein loss in nephrotic syndrome, thrombotic microangiopathies, malignant diseases, acute thrombotic episodes and asparaginase therapy. The INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay enables the detection of patients with antithrombin deficiency.

The INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay utilizes a chromogenic measuring principle. An excess of human factor Xa is added to citrated plasma. In the presence of heparin, a portion of the enzyme is complexed and inactivated by the antithrombin present in the sample. Excess, uninhibited factor Xa then cleaves a specific chromogenic substrate, causing the release of a dye. The substrate cleavage is determined by the increase in the absorbance value at 405 nm.

antithrombin + heparin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[antithrombin • heparin] + FXa (excess) — > [antithrombin • heparin • FXa] + FXa (residual)
chromogenic FXa substrate

The release of dye is inversely proportional to the inhibiting activity of antithrombin in the plasma sample, i.e., the smaller the concentration of functionally active antithrombin, the higher the absorbance signal per time unit.

5. Intended Use / Indications for Use

INNOVANCE Antithrombin is a chromogenic assay for the automated quantitation of functionally active antithrombin in human citrated plasma and can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of antithrombin deficiency.

Repeatability/Reproducibility, analytical specificity and Limit of Quantification studies were performed for the extension of the intended use of INNOVANCE Antithrombin. All Performance claims cleared under K081769 remain valid.

{10}------------------------------------------------

9.1.1 Repeatability/Reproducibility

A precision (single site) study and a reproducibility (multi-site) study were performed in accordance with the CLSI document EP05-A3 Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline - Third Edition' to investigate the precision performance characteristics in the lower measuring range of INNOVANCE Antithrombin on the BCS XP System.

The reproducibility investigation was performed in a multi-site study, including three (3) internal study sites (Sites 1, 2, and 3). The precision investigation was performed internally at the Siemens company site in Germany (Site 1). Two (2) pathological plasma pools were investigated as test samples. These two pools were chosen to cover the lower AT activity measuring interval of INNOVANCE Antithrombin (<20% of norm) and the medical decision point for QFITLIA (fitusiran) dosing (15% of norm). The order of samples and control materials for each run and day varied to avoid an inherent bias to the study. The internal reproducibility study was carried out at three (3) internal sites, on five (5) runs per day and three (3) replicates of each sample per run (3x5x2x3). All internal sites performed the reproducibility study with the same reagent/calibrator lot combination.

A single-site precision study was carried out on one (1) BCS XP System in twenty (20) days, with two (2) runs per day, two (2) samples per run, in combination with three (3) reagent lots and one (1) calibrator lot (3x20x2x2x1x1; i.e., n=240). The results are presented in the following tables:

9.1.2 Analytical Specificity/Interference

The effects of potentially interfering substances were investigated in an interference study according to CLSI document EP07 'Interfering Testing in Clinical Chemistry. 3rd ed.'. Paired-difference experiments were carried out to evaluate the amount of interferent up to which no interference is to be expected. The

{11}------------------------------------------------

concentration of the different interferents used was calculated in accordance with CLSI EP7-A3 based on the highest expected interferent concentration in plasma. For desmopressin and Tranexamic acid, the recommended dose for hemophilia patients was used as given in their respective US Prescribing Information. For Recombinant Factor VIIa, Coagulation Factor VIII, Coagulation Factor IX and activated Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (aPCC) doses tested in the interference study were based on the highest doses recommended for bleed management for subjects on QFITLIA (fitusiran).

Samples with and without interferent were compared within the studies. Such interference testing was performed with a panel of exogenous substances. Two (2) plasma pools, a low plasma pool at approximately 10-15 % of norm Antithrombin activity and a high plasma pool at approximately 90 % of norm Antithrombin activity were used.

No interferences up to the indicated concentrations of following therapeutics were observed:

TherapeuticNo interference up to
Desmopressin0.0144 µg/mL
Tranexamic Acid0.48 mg/mL
Recombinant Factor VIIa2.16 µg/mL
Coagulation Factor VIII0.96 IU/mL
Coagulation Factor IX1.44 IU/mL
activated Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (aPCC)2.4 IU/mL

9.1.3 Detection Capabilities

The limit of quantitation (LoQ) was determined according to the CLSI document EP17-A2:2012, Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical CLSI Laboratory Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline - Second Edition.

To determine the LoQ, plasma samples with concentrations ranging from approximately 6 - 10 % of normal Antithrombin activity were prepared. Four replicates of five patient samples were run once per day for three days using two (2) INNOVANCE Antithrombin reagent lots on one BCS XP System totaling in n=120 determinations. The LoQ estimates were evaluated separately for each reagent lot.

The LoQ was calculated according to CLSI document based on an Total Error goal of not exceed 4% of norm. The LoQ was set to 7.32% of norm as the maximum of the reagent lot specific LoQ values.

9.2. Clinical Validation Data

The safety and effectiveness of the INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay as an aid in monitoring the antithrombin (AT) activity in patients on QFITLIA (fitusiran) was demonstrated through testing of specimens from hemophilia A and B patients with and without inhibitors enrolled in the clinical trial program for QFITLIA. In particular, INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay on the BCS XP analyzer was used to guide AT-based dosing of QFITLIA (AT-based dose regimen, AT-DR) in the ATLAS-OLE study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03754790). Please refer to the QFITLIA drug labeling at Drugs@FDA for more details.

A total of 227 patients were treated with QFITLIA in this multicenter study which was initiated as an openlabel extension study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of QFITLIA in adult and pediatric

510(k) Summary of INNOVANCE Antithrombin

patients aged ≥12 years with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitory antibodies to FVIII or FIX. Eligible patients initially received QFITLIA 80 mg subcutaneously (SC) once monthly. The study was amended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the AT-DR. A total of 213 patients were subsequently transitioned to an AT-DR with the target AT activity range of 15-35%.

The INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay was used to measure AT activity at baseline (prior to QFITLIA initiation) as well as after QFITLIA exposure throughout the ATLAS-OLE study (AT activity was measured monthly for 12 months after first dose or after dose adjustment, and every 4 months thereafter). The dose of QFITLIA was adjusted based on AT activity levels, if needed, to target AT activity range of 15-35%. Of the total AT-DR population, 199 patients started at the 50 mg dose every other month with dosing guided by the INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay.

In the AT-DR, the QFITLIA starting dose was 50 mg every two months and the dosing was individually adjusted based on AT activity level. The dose could be increased to 50 mg every month or 80 mg every month, or decreased to 20 mg every two months or 20 mg every month, or treatment discontinued if AT activity was <15% at the lowest dose. No patients required escalation to 80 mg every month to achieve the target AT range. The dose required to maintain AT activity 15-35% in patients who initiated dosing on 50 mg every two months was as follows: 35.8% received 50 mg every two months, 15.7% received 50 mg every month, 30.9% received 20 mg every two months, 2.9% received 20 mg every month, and 14.7% discontinued due to more than one AT activity <15%.

Efficacy of QFITLIA was evaluated for a duration of 7 months (primary efficacy period) following a 6month dose adjustment period. Median observed annualized bleeding rate (IQR) for treated bleeds was 3.7 (0.0; 7.5) overall, 1.9 (0.0; 5.6) in inhibitor patients and 3.8 (0.0; 11.2) in non-inhibitor patients.

Clinical data from the ATLAS-OLE study demonstrate that individualized QFITLIA AT-DR using the INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay was successful at achieving AT levels within the targeted AT activity range of 15-35% and can thus be used for supporting the safe and effective dosing of QFITLIA. In conclusion, INNOVANCE Antithrombin assay can be used as an aid in monitoring antithrombin activity to support QFITLIA (fitusiran) dosing in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with hemophilia A or B with or without factor VIII or IX inhibitors.
