Device Story
The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is an immunohistochemistry (IHC) test used to detect MMR proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, MSH6) in FFPE solid tumor tissue. The device uses four mouse/rabbit monoclonal primary antibodies on the BenchMark ULTRA instrument. The process involves deparaffinization, heat-induced antigen retrieval, and sequential application of antibodies, followed by an indirect, biotin-free detection system (OptiView DAB) that produces a brown precipitate at antigen sites. PMS2 requires additional signal amplification. A qualified pathologist examines the stained slides via light microscopy to assess nuclear staining. The scoring algorithm is binary: 'Intact' (proficient) if all four proteins are expressed, or 'Loss' (deficient) if at least one protein is absent. This status aids clinicians in identifying patients eligible for JEMPERLI therapy. The device benefits patients by enabling targeted immunotherapy for those with dMMR solid tumors, potentially improving response rates compared to standard therapies.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance was established via the GARNET trial (NCT02715284), a multicenter, open-label study. The efficacy population included 209 patients with dMMR solid tumors. The ORR was 41.6% (95% CI: 34.9, 48.6). A clinical bridging study compared the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel to a Clinical Trial Assay (CTA) in a concordance population (n=156). PPA for dMMR solid tumors was 87.8% (95% CI: 81.8, 92.1) and NPA was 98.7% (95% CI: 92.9, 99.8). Analytical validation included precision studies (within-run, between-day, between-site, between-reader) showing high concordance (OPA >99%).
Technological Characteristics
The device consists of four monoclonal primary antibodies (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, MSH6) optimized for the BenchMark ULTRA automated staining platform. It utilizes the OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit (indirect, biotin-free) and OptiView Amplification Kit (for PMS2). Specimens are 4μm FFPE tissue sections. The system is fully automated, performing deparaffinization, antigen retrieval, staining, and counterstaining. Connectivity is standalone via the BenchMark ULTRA instrument.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with recurrent or advanced solid tumors to identify those eligible for treatment with JEMPERLI (dostarlimab-gxly) based on deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) status.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
(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.

## B. Device Instrument and Software
The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel test is fully automated. The VENTANA MMR RxDx panel antibodies are for use on the BenchMark ULTRA instrument using Ventana System Software (VSS) software version 12.5.4 or earlier.
## C. Specimen Preparation
Routinely processed, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are suitable for use with the MMR primary antibodies when used with VENTANA OptiView DAB detection kit (with OptiView Amplification Kit for PMS2) and BenchMark ULTRA instruments. Tissue should be fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) for at least 6 hours and for a maximum of 72 hours at room temperature (15-25 °C). Fixation times of less than 6 hours may result in a loss of staining for the MMR antibodies. The amount of NBF used should be 15 to 20 times the volume of tissue. Fixatives such as alcohol-formalin-acetic acid (AFA), PREFER fixative, or other alcohol-containing fixatives are not recommended for use with this assay.
Sections should be cut 4μm thick and mounted on positively charged glass slides. Slides should be stained promptly, as antigenicity of cut tissue sections may diminish over time.
## D. Test Controls
Run controls should be included in each staining run to establish the validity of the test results. The following controls should be run with the assay:
Pre-qualified solid tumor tissue including endometrial cancer (EC) tissue with an MMR status of intact or tonsil may be used as a positive system-level control for MMR antibodies to detect the intact protein. Alternatively, pre-qualified normal endometrial tissue fixed and processed in the same manner as the patient tissue can also be used as a positive system-level control. Normal endometrium will stain positive for all antibodies in the MMR IHC Panel. Since the MSH6, PMS2, MSH2 and MLH1 proteins are expressed in all tissues, a normal negative tissue control does not exist for these biomarkers. For a negative system level control, EC tissue with loss of an MMR protein can be used as an appropriate tissue control for mismatch repair protein deficiency status. However, lymphocytes, fibroblast and epithelial cells should exhibit staining and serve as positive internal control cells in EC samples with MMR protein deficiency (dMMR).
### 1. Internal Positive Controls
Normal tissue elements (e.g., lymphocytes, fibroblasts, or normal epithelium) in the immediate vicinity of the tumor may serve as internal positive controls. Unequivocal nuclear staining in these cells validates the staining run. If the internal positive controls fail to demonstrate appropriate staining, results with the test specimen should be considered invalid.
### 2. Negative Reagent Control
Negative reagent control should be used to stain an adjacent section of the patient specimen tissue on a separate slide from the VENTANA MMR antibody stained
{4}
slides. A negative reagent control mouse monoclonal antibody (for MLH1, PMS2, and MSH2) and a negative reagent control rabbit monoclonal antibody (for MSH6) is recommended for use in place of the primary antibodies to evaluate nonspecific staining.
Additional information about positive and negative controls are available in the product labeling.
## E. Principles of Procedure
The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is an immunohistochemistry test system used to stain FFPE solid tumor specimens to detect expression of the MMR proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6). The 4 antibodies of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel have individualized staining protocols that are created using available staining parameters provided in staining procedures in the VSS software that drives the BenchMark ULTRA automated staining platform. The panel test is run individually on 4 separate tissue sections and the test process involves sequential application of specific primary antibodies against the panel protein, followed by detection reagents and chromogen deposition for visualization of the target protein expression.
The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is automated for use on the BenchMark ULTRA automated slide stainer from deparaffinization through counterstaining. Patient FFPE tissue specimens are cut 4μm thick and mounted on positively charged glass slides. These slides are loaded into the Benchmark ULTRA instrument. This system first removes the paraffin wax from the tissue, and then subjects the tissue to heated antigen retrieval (cell conditioning). Antigen retrieval is the process by which the ability of antibodies to bind to the epitopes is restored to formalin-fixed tissues.
Endogenous peroxidases that could potentially react with the horseradish peroxidase conjugates (HRP) are blocked with OptiView Inhibitor (3% H2O2). After the endogenous peroxidase block, the Antibody is dispensed during the antibody incubation step and allowed to bind to its antigen. The slides are then incubated with the reagents in the OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit and OptiView Amplification Kit to achieve preferred staining of target cells. The OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit is an indirect, biotin-free system for detecting mouse IgG, mouse IgM, and rabbit primary antibodies which produces a visible dark brown precipitate (3,3'-Diaminobenzidine) via an HRP enzymatic reaction at the antigen site. The PMS2 test uses the OptiView amplification in addition to the OptiView DAB detection system for signal amplification. The OptiView Amplification Kit includes an HQ hapten conjugate (OptiView Amplifier), corresponding substrate (OptiView Amplification H2O2), and mouse anti-HQ monoclonal antibody containing HRP (OptiView Amplification Multimer). Tissues are then counterstained blue using Hematoxylin II and Bluing Reagent to create brown/blue contrast to aid the pathologist when reviewing the slides using bright field microscopy.

F. Staining Interpretation
Stained slides are interpreted by a qualified pathologist and the MMR status (intact or loss) for each of the MMR proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6) is assigned based on the presence or absence of specific nuclear staining in the tumor. An MMR status of "Intact" is assigned to cases with unequivocal nuclear staining in viable tumor cells in the presence of acceptable internal positive controls (nuclear staining in lymphocytes, fibroblasts or normal epithelium in the vicinity of the tumor). An MMR status of "Loss" is assigned to cases with unequivocal loss of nuclear staining or focal weak equivocal nuclear staining in the viable tumor cells in the presence of internal positive controls.
If unequivocal nuclear stain is absent in internal positive controls and/or background staining interferes with interpretation, the assay should be considered unacceptable and repeated. Punctate nuclear staining of tumor cells should be considered negative.
MMR Intact (or proficient) Status: Detection of all four proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6) in the tumor.
MMR Loss (or deficient) Status: Loss of expression of at least one protein (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6) in the tumor.
Interpretation of Challenging Cases: The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel scoring algorithm for each of the four MMR antibodies is binary: either the protein is expressed (a clinical status of Intact) or it is not expressed (a clinical status of Loss). Once each of the four antibodies is interpreted, the case may be assigned an overall status of proficient (all four antibodies are intact) or deficient (at least one antibody is a loss). As a result, there are no true "borderline" cases. While the vast majority of cases stained with VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel are clearly proficient or deficient in their staining results, a few cases have been observed that present a challenge in interpretation. These cases
PMA P210001: FDA SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS DATA
{6}
may be challenging due to the following issues: Non-specific background staining, focal staining, punctate staining, speckling, and tissue or staining artifacts resulting from sample processing and microtomy processes.
Interpretation for MMR proteins status is detailed in Table 2 below.
Table 2. Interpretation of MMR Protein Expression in Solid Tumor Tissue Stained with the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel
| Clinical Status | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Intact MMR Protein Expression | Unequivocal nuclear staining in viable tumor cells, in the presence of acceptable internal positive controls (e.g. nuclear staining in lymphocytes, fibroblasts, or normal epithelium in the vicinity of the tumor) |
| Loss of MMR Protein Expression | Unequivocal loss of nuclear staining or focal weak equivocal nuclear staining in the viable tumor cells in the presence of acceptable internal positive controls. Punctate nuclear staining will be considered negative. |
VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
There are currently no FDA approved companion diagnostic devices to assess MMR status in solid tumors for treatment with JEMPERLI. This device is also approved for the EC indication. See Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data for P200019.
VII. MARKETING HISTORY
VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is currently marketed globally in several countries, including in the United States as a Class II device for the identification of Lynch syndrome (DEN170030) and as a Class III device for identifying patients with dMMR EC for treatment with JEMPERLI. The device in the US and ex-US products contain the same reagents. The device has not been withdrawn to date from the market in any country for reasons relating to safety and effectiveness of the device.
The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel to assess MMR status in solid tumors for treatment with JEMPERLI is not marketed in any foreign country.
VIII. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DEVICE ON HEALTH
As with any IVD test, the potential risks are associated with an incorrect test result or incorrect interpretation of results, rather than with the device itself. Failure of the device to perform as expected or failure to correctly interpret results may lead to improper patient management decisions.

IX. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL STUDIES
Non-clinical studies were performed using the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel to support the analytical performance of the device for the solid tumor indication. These studies were performed using a variety of solid tumor tissue. Studies were conducted to characterize the assay, demonstrate the impact of pre-analytical variables on assay performance, verify precision and robustness of the assay, and establish assay stability.
Terminology used in the analysis:
An MMR status (intact or loss) was assigned to cases for each of the 4 individual MMR protein status (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6). Panel-level status (proficient or deficient) was assigned to cases where proficient status implies detection of all four proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6) in the tumor, and a deficient status implies loss of expression of at least one protein (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 or MSH6) in the tumor.

# 4. Precision
The purpose of this study was to evaluate precision of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel in solid tumors. Assay precision was evaluated for each of the 4 panel antibodies individually using identical study design.
The sample distribution was as follows:
MLH1: 33 solid tumors (21 intact and 18 loss): urinary (6 cases: 4 intact and 2 loss), reproductive (9 cases: 6 intact and 3 loss), gastrointestinal (6 cases: 1 intact and 5 loss), hepato-pancreatobiliary (3 cases: 2 intact and 1 loss) soft tissue (1 case: 1 intact), and thoracic (2 cases: 1 intact and 1 loss), EC (6 cases: 3 intact and 3 loss).
PMS2: 32 solid tumors (17 intact and 15 loss): urinary (3 cases: 1 intact and 2 loss), reproductive (9 cases: 4 intact and 5 loss), gastrointestinal (7 cases: 2 intact and 5 loss), endocrine (2 cases: 2 intact), hepato-pancreatobiliary (1 case: 1 intact), soft tissue (2 cases: 2 intact), and thoracic (2 cases: 2 intact), EC (6 cases: 3 intact and 3 loss).
MSH2: 33 solid tumors (18 intact and 15 loss): urinary (6 cases: 4 intact and 2 loss), reproductive (12 cases: 4 intact and 8 loss), gastrointestinal (4 cases: 2 intact and 2 loss), hepato-pancreatobiliary (1 case: 1 intact), soft tissue (2 cases: 2 intact), and thoracic (2 cases: 2 intact), EC (6 cases: 3 intact and 3 loss).
MSH6: 34 solid tumors (18 intact and 16 loss): urinary (4 cases: 1 intact and 3 loss), reproductive (11 cases: 5 intact and 6 loss), gastrointestinal (2 cases: 2 intact), endocrine (3 cases: 1 intact and 2 loss), hepato-pancreatobiliary (2 cases: 2 intact) soft tissue (4 cases: 2 intact and 2 loss), and thoracic (2 cases: 2 intact), EC (6 cases: 3 intact and 3 loss).
Total number of observations for each test condition is shown in Tables 4-8 below.
The following parameters were tested:
- Three lots of antibody (between-antibody lots)
- Three lots of OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kits (between-detection kits) and OptiView Amplification (where applicable)
- Three ULTRA instruments (between-instruments)
- Across 3 days (between-day)
- Across all intermediate precision conditions (within-run).
Each case was assigned one mode (optimal prediction) based on the samples aggregated per test condition for:
- Between-antibody lots
- Between-detection kit lots
- Between-instruments
{9}
- Between-day
Each case was compared within its duplicate samples per test run for the within-run precision study.
For each case there were 4 antibody components of the MMR RxDx Panel and a negative reagent control (NRC) antibody. For the combined intermediate precision studies, the number of non-evaluable slides and the reasons for non-evaluable observations were as follows:
MLH1: 3 slides (no staining in any cells).
PMS2: 9 slides (insufficient internal controls staining for evaluation).
MSH2: 1 slide (no internal control cells staining).
MSH6: 0
Analyses included evaluation of overall percent agreement (OPA), positive percent agreement (PPA) for Loss cases, and negative percent agreement (NPA) for Intact cases between antibody lot, between detection kit lot, between day, between instrument and within run.

Between-Day Precision for VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel
In addition to the between-day precision described above, a supplemental between-day precision to assess the test performance of VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel on solid tumor samples over 5 non-consecutive days was also performed. Agreement results are presented in Table 9 below.
The between-day precision study over 5 non-consecutive days consisted of 24 FFPE solid tumor cases distributed as follows:
MLH1: 12 intact cases [4 endometrium, 1 bladder (a challenging case), and 7 gastric (including 2 challenging cases)] and 12 loss cases (3 endometrium, 1 bladder, 5 gastric (including 1 challenging case), 1 ureter, 1 kidney (a challenging case) and 1 melanoma (a challenging case)].

PMS2: 12 intact cases (4 gastric, 3 endometrium, 1 ovary, 3 bladder, and 1 pancreas) and 12 loss cases (5 gastric, 3 endometrium, 3 bladder, and 1 pancreas). The agreement results are presented below.
MSH2: 12 intact cases [3 endometrium, 1 bladder, 5 gastric (including 1 challenging case), 1 kidney, 1 ureter (a challenging case), and 1 melanoma] and 12 loss cases [3 endometrium, 1 bladder, 5 gastric (including 1 challenging case), 1 ureter, 1 kidney (a challenging case), and 1 melanoma (a challenging case)].
MSH6: 12 intact cases [4 endometrium (including 1 challenging case), 1 ovary, 1 bladder, 3 gastric (including 1 challenging case), 1 kidney, 1 ureter, and 1 melanoma] and 12 loss cases [4 endometrium, 1 ovary, 1 bladder, 3 gastric (including 1 challenging case), 1 kidney, 1 ureter, and 1 melanoma (a challenging case)].
For this supplemental between-day precision study for solid tumor cases, there was one non-evaluable slide:
MSH2: 1 slide (no internal control cells staining).

# 5. Reader Precision
Between-Reader and Within-Reader precision was assessed by evaluating concordance of VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel status between 3 readers and within individual readers using 162 (100 proficient and 62 deficient) cases from a variety of solid tumors as follows:
Urinary system-15 cases (9 proficient and 6 deficient), reproductive system-48 cases, gastrointestinal system-56 cases (28 proficient and 28 deficient, endocrine system-7 cases (7 proficient), hepato-pancreatobiliary system-13 cases (9 proficient and 4 deficient), soft tissue/skin-9 cases (7 proficient and 2 deficient), thoracic-9 cases (7 proficient and 2 deficient) and head and neck cancer-5 cases (5 proficient).
Specimens were blinded and randomized prior to evaluation of each of the 4 individual antibody status (intact or loss) and panel-level status (proficient or deficient) for each case using the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel scoring algorithm (Staining Interpretation Section F of the Device Description Section V, and Table 2 above). Readers scored all specimens twice, with a minimum of two weeks wash-out period between reads. The agreement rates between the readers and within-reader are summarized in Table 10.
For the reader precision studies, the number of non-evaluable slides and the reasons for non-evaluable observations were as follows:
Case 1: Unevaluable for PMS2 (no internal control cells staining).
Case 2: Unevaluable for all 4 antibodies (high DAB staining on NRC). Due to unacceptable NRCs, each antibody-stained slide was not evaluated.
Case 3: same as above.
Case 4: Unevaluable for all 4 antibodies (internal control very minimally present).

# 6. External Reproducibility
The reproducibility of VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel was evaluated in 3 independent Inter-Laboratory Reproducibility (ILR) studies (diverse solid tumors, EC only and CRC only) conducted using the same study design. In each study, a set of de-identified FFPE tumor specimens was stained on a BenchMark ULTRA instrument at each of 3 external laboratories on each of 3 non-consecutive days (spanning at least 20 days in total). Each staining day at each site produced a 5-slide panel [4 biomarker antibody-stained slides and 1 slide stained with mouse NRC using the PMS2 staining protocol] that was independently evaluated for the status of each marker (Intact or Loss) and for MMR status (Deficient or Proficient) by 2 pathologists at the site.
The solid tumor ILR study used 60 diverse solid tumor cases (30 dMMR cases and 30 pMMR cases), of which 6 were considered challenging; EC only and CRC only ILR studies used 30 EC cases and 30 CRC cases respectively. The EC and CRC studies each used 15 dMMR cases and 15 pMMR cases, and each included 4 cases that were considered challenging.
The specimen distribution is shown the Table 12 below.

Note: The solid tumor study cohort represented a diverse range of histologies and organ systems, including 5 CRC cases and 5 EC cases.
One sample was common between the solid-tumor and EC ILR studies, but is being counted as separate for analysis purposes.
Each set of 5 stained slides per case per staining day (4 biomarker-stained slides and 1 mouse NRC stained with PMS2 staining protocol) was combined with a case-matched hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained slide and provided as a 6-slide panel to 2 trained, blinded pathologists (readers) at the site. Each pathologist independently interpreted each case panel for the marker status (Intact or Loss) for each of the 4 VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel biomarkers (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6) and for the overall MMR panel status of the case (dMMR or pMMR). As noted above in section V.F. (Staining Interpretation), a case was considered pMMR if all 4 biomarkers were Intact and was considered dMMR if any one of the four biomarkers had a Loss status.
PPA and NPA rates for MMR status (dMMR or pMMR) across all evaluable observations, using the case-level reader modes for MMR status as the reference were assessed (see below for a description of non-evaluable observations and reasons for non-evaluable). Study results are presented for panel-level status (dMMR or pMMR), and for marker-level status (for 4 VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel biomarkers MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6) for Solid Tumor, EC and CRC indications in Tables 13-20 below.
For the external reproducibility studies, the number of non-evaluable slides and the reasons for non-evaluable observations were as follows:
Case 1: Solid tumor ILR study (site C; day 1, reader 2): Unevaluable for PMS2 (Internal control not acceptable.
Case 2: CRC ILR study (site A; day 1, readers 1 and 2): Unevaluable for MSH2 (No tissue on slide). The backup slide was used, and repeat staining was evaluable.
Case 3: CRC ILR study (site C; day 2, reader 1): Unevaluable for PMS2 (Internal control not acceptable.

1. **Fixative Type and Time**
See Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data for P200019.
2. **Tissue Heterogeneity**
This study evaluated the prevalence of case heterogeneity in various solid tumor tissue blocks from the same case when stained with VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel Assay on the BenchMark ULTRA instrument.
For the sample set of 300 tissues (150 pairs) evaluated, 10 of 44 EC tissues, 6 of 54 CRC tissues, and 2 of 202 of the solid-tumor tissues demonstrated dMMR status. All 150 pairs across all indications exhibited equivalent marker and panel level MMR status for an OPA of 100%. Therefore, case heterogeneity was not observed in any of patient pairs for overall panel level nor marker-level MMR status. Due to the difficulty of procuring matched patient samples from commercial vendors and the overall low prevalence of MMR biomarkers, the sample distribution for MMR status in this study was unequal, with only 18 of 300 cases representing a dMMR status. Although the trend in this study indicates, case heterogeneity is unlikely to be observed in EC, CRC, and solid-tumor tissues, the small sample size of the available dMMR tissues provide a limited assessment of case heterogeneity for MMR panel status.
3. **Primary versus Metastatic**
This study evaluated the concordance of MMR panel status between FFPE matched primary and metastatic solid tumors when stained with the MMR RxDx Panel assay on the BenchMark ULTRA instrument.
{21}
In this characterization study, matched primary vs. metastatic solid tumor tissue specimens were stained and compared to show either concordance or discordance in overall MMR panel status between each pair. For the sample set of 156 tissue cases (78 pairs) evaluated, 152 of these cases (76 pairs) were concordant. Out of these 152 cases, 4 cases (2 pairs) exhibited an MMR status of deficient (dMMR), 146 (73 pairs) cases exhibited an MMR status of proficient (pMMR), and 2 cases (1 pair) exhibited an MMR status of non-evaluable. Four cases (2 pairs) exhibited discordance between the matched primary and metastatic tumor tissue pairs.
## X. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL STUDIES
The clinical performance of VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel as a CDx device for the solid tumor indication for JEMPERLI was based on the GARNET clinical trial (NCT02715284) Subpart 2B. The primary efficacy population for the drug was based on Cohorts A1 and F.
## A. Study Design
GARNET is a multicenter, open-label, study with Subpart 2B, designed to evaluate the antitumor activity of JEMPERLI in patients with recurrent or advanced mismatch repair deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers, including dMMR/MSI-H EC (Cohort A1) and recurrent or advanced dMMR/MSI-H solid tumors (Cohort F). The clinical bridging study for the VENTANA RxDx Panel included retesting the biomarker positive (dMMR) patients (Cohorts A1 and F) and a subset of biomarker negative EC patients from cohort A2 (pMMR) (intact or biomarker-negative) EC, and CRC negative (pMMR) samples that were procured from outside the trial, to evaluate the positive and negative percent agreement between the enrolling tests and the final CDx. Refer to the clinical bridging study in the Effectiveness Results in Section D below for further details.
## 1. GARNET Clinical Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
### Key Trial Inclusion Criteria
1. Patient has proven recurrent or advanced solid tumor and has disease progression after treatment with available anti-cancer therapies or is intolerant to treatment that meets the requirements for the part of the study, they will participate in per clinical trial protocol.
2. Patients who have progressed on or after platinum doublet therapy
3. Patients have received no more than 2 lines of anti-cancer therapy for recurrent or advanced (≥Stage IIIB) disease. Prior treatment with hormone therapies is acceptable and does not count towards the number of anti-cancer therapies noted in the criterion above for this cohort.
4. Patients must submit 2 scans demonstrating increase in tumor measurement that meet criteria for Progressive Disease (PD) on or after the latest systemic anticancer therapy based on RECIST 1.1 to Central Radiology prior to the first dose of JEMPERLI.
PMA P210001: FDA SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS DATA
{22}
5. Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion on baseline scan will be confirmed by central radiology review.
6. Status of tumor MMR status as determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing.
7. Tumor MMR/MSI or POLE status: Patients can be screened based on local MMR/MSI testing results using IHC, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or next generation sequencing (NGS) performed in a certified local laboratory, but patient eligibility is determined by MMR IHC results. For patients with available local MMR IHC results for the respective cohort(s), tumor samples have to be submitted to a central IHC laboratory and its quality has to be checked and cleared prior to Day 1 of chemotherapy treatment Cycle 1(C1D1). For patients without available local MMR IHC test results (patients with local PCR or NGS test results), tumor samples have to be submitted directly to central IHC laboratory and central IHC results have to confirm eligibility prior to proceeding with other screening procedures. After the central IHC test is completed, remaining tumor tissue may be sent to a central NGS laboratory for further testing.
8. Patients who are considered for the study based on POLE mutation must have the local results available showing tumor mutation(s) in the exonuclease domain of the POLE gene (amino acid residues 268-471) to begin screening. Patients must have the quality of submitted tumor samples checked and cleared by a central IHC laboratory prior to receiving study treatment.
## Key Trial Exclusion Criteria
1. Patient has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent.
2. Patient has known uncontrolled central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
3. Patient has a known additional malignancy that progressed or required active treatment within last 2 years.
## 2. Follow-up Schedule
Up to 2 years, or until the subject meets protocol specific discontinuation criteria.
## 3. Clinical Endpoints
### Primary endpoints:
1. The primary efficacy endpoint is ORR, defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1 for dMMR/MSI-H (Cohorts A1 and F).
2. Duration of response (DOR) based on independent blinded central review using RECIST v1.1 for Cohorts A1 and F will be evaluated as a secondary endpoint.
### Secondary endpoints:
PMA P210001: FDA SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS DATA
{23}
1. Disease control rate will be assessed for Cohorts A1, A2, and F as a secondary endpoint and is defined as the proportion of patients achieving CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) as assessed per RECIST v1.1
2. Immune-related duration of response will be evaluated as a secondary endpoint for all cohorts in Part 2B and is defined as the time from first documentation of CR or PR by irRECIST until the time of first documentation of PD (subsequently confirmed) per irRECIST
3. Progression-free survival will be assessed as a secondary endpoint and is defined as the time from date of first dose to the earlier date of assessment of progression or death by any cause in the absence of progression based on: (1) the time of first documentation of PD per RECIST v1.1 (for cohorts A1, A2, and F only); and (2) the time of first documentation of PD (subsequently confirmed) per irRECIST for all cohorts in Part 2B
4. OS will be assessed as a secondary endpoint and is defined as the time from date of first dose of study treatment to the date of death by any cause.
## B. Accountability of PMA Cohorts
### Accountability of EC Cohorts A1 and A2
Study participants with recurrent or advanced endometrial carcinoma in the GARNET study comprise one of the primary analysis population for this application. Out of the 126 patients in EC Cohort A1, 103 were in the efficacy population and 23 were in the non-efficacy safety population. Out of the 103, 57 were available for retesting using the CDx test (EC population). Additionally, 16 were available for retesting that were not derived from the efficacy population but instead from the Safety Population. This resulted in an overall available sample for retesting of 73 subjects (Concordance Population).

# Accountability of Solid Tumor Cohort F
Study participants with recurrent or advanced solid tumors in cohort F of the GARNET study comprise the primary analysis population for this application. Out of the 141 patients in non-EC Cohort F dMMR, 106 were included in the Efficacy population after exclusion due to 35 being in the Non-efficacy safety population. Out of the 106, 53 were available for retesting using the CDx test (EC population). A further 30 were available for retesting that were not derived from the Efficacy population but instead the Safety population. This resulted in an overall available sample for retesting of 83 subjects (Concordance Population).

## D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
### 1. Safety Results
Adverse events (AEs) in the GARNET trial were specific to the toxicity of the investigational agent. There were no device-specific adverse events in the diagnostic study. In this trial, observed AEs included events that were in line with those expected in subjects with recurrent or advanced solid tumors, as well as those consistent with reported safety profiles of monoclonal antibodies blocking the PD 1 interactions.
### 2. Effectiveness Results
The analysis of effectiveness was based on the efficacy population (209 in cohorts A1 and F (dMMR)).
Efficacy in dMMR solid tumors was performed in 209 patients with dMMR tumors (103 dMMR EC and 106 dMMR non-EC). The tumor response summary for the dMMR solid-tumor population overall is summarized in Table 24 below. The overall response rate (ORR) from the drug trail was 41.6%.

### Clinical Bridging Study
Bridging study was performed to evaluate agreements of MMR status (PPA for dMMR status, and NPA for pMMR status) between VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel and the CTA (local or central testing using an IHC assay other than VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel) and to assess the estimated clinical efficacy (ORR, DOR) of the patients enrolled in the GARNET Study, had the CDx been the enrolling device.
{28}
The agreement of MMR status between CTA and CDx results was calculated in the Concordance (EC = 73 and non-EC = 83) population using the CTA results as reference. For the purpose of the analyses, a pMMR status was considered negative, and dMMR status was considered positive.
## Concordance between the CTA and CDx [VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel (Solid Tumors)]
PPA rates for the dMMR EC (n = 73), non-EC (n = 83), and solid tumor (n = 156) groups were 93.2% (95% CI: 84.9, 97.0), 83.1% (95% CI: 73.7, 89.7), and 87.8% (95% CI: 81.8, 92.1), respectively. NPA rates for the pMMR EC group (n = 75) was 98.7% (95% CI: 92.8, 99.8), and the NPA in the non-EC group (n = 1) was 100% (95% CI: 20.7, 100.0) and in the solid tumor group (n = 76) it was 98.7% (95% CI: 92.9, 99.8), respectively.

[a] Two-sided 95% CIs were calculated using the Wilson score method.
A sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the robustness of the ORR estimates in dMMR patients in the GARNET clinical trial. Multiple imputation using logistic regression was conducted separately for EC, non-EC and solid tumor. In an examination of covariates between samples that were evaluable and non-evaluable with the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel, distribution of the covariates supports missing at random assumption. In the bridging study, since a large proportion of dMMR in solid tumor includes EC and CRC, the NPA for solid tumors was calculated based on lower bound 95% CI of NPA from EC and CRC cohorts. The imputation-based ORR for solid tumor population was 31.8% with 95% CI (26.1%, 37.6%) with CTA+ prevalence of 9% under the worst-case scenario (no drug efficacy in CDx+/CTA- population) and 48.7% with 95% CI (41.6%, 55.7%) under the best-case scenario (full drug efficacy in CDx+/CTA-

The pivotal clinical study included 1 principal investigator. None of the clinical investigators had disclosable financial interests/arrangements as defined in sections 54.2(a), (b), (c), and (f). The information provided does not raise any questions about the reliability of the data.
XI. **SUMMARY OF SUPPLEMENTAL CLINICAL INFORMATION**
Not applicable
XII. **PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA'S POST-PANEL ACTION**
In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(3) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Hematology and Pathology Devices Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA did not raise any new safety and effectiveness questions compared with information previously reviewed by this panel.
XIII. **CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM THE STUDIES**
A. **Effectiveness Conclusions**
Effectiveness of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel in determining MMR status (proficient or deficient) is based on the clinical performance and benefit to patients with recurrent or advanced solid tumors as assessed in the GARNET study which evaluated the safety and the efficacy of JEMPERLI in these patients who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. The clinical benefit of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel was demonstrated for patients enrolled in GARNET clinical study, in which the MMR status was determined using CTA. Overall, the observed clinical benefit in the subset of patients tested with the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel Assay was comparable to that observed in the BLA efficacy population. Additional sensitivity analyses combined with

multiple imputation approaches for missing CDx values consistently support the clinical benefit of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel.
The performance of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Assay was also supported by the analytical validation studies.
## B. Safety Conclusions
The risks of the device are based on nonclinical laboratory studies as well as data collected in a clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above.
The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is an in vitro diagnostic device, which involves tumor specimens collected from patients with recurrent or advanced solid tumors. The risks of the device are based on data collected in the clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above. Risks of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel are associated with failure of the device to perform as expected or failure to correctly interpret test results. As VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is intended for use to identify patients for JEMPERLI therapy, if incorrect, or false, results are reported, then patients may not receive the proper treatment. Patients with false positive results may undergo treatment with JEMPERLI without much clinical benefit and may experience adverse reactions associated with JEMPERLI therapy. Patients with false negative results may not be considered for treatment with JEMPERLI, and therefore, may receive other treatment options. There is also a risk of delayed results, which may lead to a delay in treatment with JEMPERLI.
## C. Benefit-Risk Determination
The probable benefits of this device are based on the data collected in the GARNET clinical study. When the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is used in the designated intended use population, recurrent or advanced dMMR solid tumors, according to the approved instructions for use, and whose tumors demonstrate deficient MMR with this device, the benefits of the use of JEMPERLI are expected to be an overall response rate of approximately 31.8% (estimate based on worst-case scenario) to 48.7% (estimate based on best case scenario) with acceptable duration of response and with evidence of probable benefit.
The potential risk associated with the use of the device, mainly due to 1) false positive, false negative or failure to provide a result. The risk of use of the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel in the designated intended use population, for the proposed indication for use include the risks of a false positive device result and subsequent use of JEMPERLI include a failure of the patient's tumor to respond to this therapy, and the experiencing of toxicity/adverse events. With respect to a false negative device result, such a patient could be deprived of a potentially beneficial solid tumor treatment and associated overall response rate and durability.
In this trial, observed AEs included events that were in line with those expected in subjects with recurrent or advanced solid tumors and endometrial cancer, as well as those
PMA P210001: FDA SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS DATA
Page 31
{31}
consistent with reported safety profiles of monoclonal antibodies blocking the PD 1 interactions.
In addition to a false positive device result, a failure to respond could also be due to the particular biology of the patient's tumor, or other idiosyncratic biological issues specific to the individual patient, even if the device result is a true positive, as not all true positives will respond to this therapy. With respect to a false negative device result, such a patient could be deprived of a potentially beneficial solid tumor or endometrial cancer treatment and associated overall response rate and durability. The risks are mitigated by the expected poor prognosis of recurrent or advanced solid tumors. The risks of false results are partially mitigated by the analytical validation results summarized above.
The overall clinical and analytical data support that for the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel, and the indications noted in the intended use statement, the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks
Patient Perspectives
This submission did not include specific information on patient perspectives for this device.
D. Overall Conclusions
The data in this application support the reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of this device when used in accordance with the indications for use. Study 4010-01-001 (GARNET) is a multi-center, open-label ongoing clinical study of JEMPERLI efficacy and safety in adult patients who have recurrent or advanced solid tumors with limited available treatment options. Data from this study support the use of the MMR RxDx Panel as an aid in selecting patients with MMR deficient solid tumors who are likely to benefit from JEMPERLI therapy. The response rate in patients with solid tumors that have deficient MMR expression is better than what would be expected of available therapy and represents an improvement that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit.
