Intended Use
The imaging software is intended to detect and classify cells of clinical interest by analyzing digitized images of microscope slides based on recognition of cellular objects of particular color, size and shape. The software can be used with a computer and image digitizer with features specified in the labeling. BioImagene PATHIAM is intended for use as an accessory to the Dako HercepTest® to aid a pathologist in semi-quantitative measurement of HER2/neu (c-erbB-2) in Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue. When used with the Dako HercepTest it is indicated as an aid in the assessment of breast cancer patients for whom Herceptin® (Trastuzumab) treatment is being considered. NOTE: The actual correlation of the Dako HercepTest to Herceptin clinical outcome has not been established.
Device Story
PATHIAM is standalone software for semi-quantitative assessment of Her2/neu staining in breast cancer tissue. Input: digital images (JPEG, BMP, TIFF) of IHC-stained slides acquired via microscope/camera or digital slide scanner. Operation: pathologist selects representative tumor fields; software automatically differentiates tumor cells from stromal cells/artifacts using morphological features; calculates total positively/unstained tumor cells, median intensity, extent, and thickness of membrane staining. Output: semi-quantitative score (0 to 3) displayed alongside digital image for pathologist review. Used in clinical laboratory settings by pathologists to aid interpretation of Her2/neu expression levels. Benefits: provides standardized, reproducible semi-quantitative data to assist clinical decision-making regarding Trastuzumab therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Study evaluated 176 breast cancer specimens stained with Dako HercepTest. Agreement between manual scoring and PATHIAM raw scores, and manual scoring vs. PATHIAM-assisted pathologist scores, was assessed across three sites using different imaging hardware. Percent agreement between manual and PATHIAM-assisted scores ranged from 81.25% to 84.09%. Reproducibility across different imaging setups showed high consistency (93.67% to 95.45% agreement for raw scores).
Technological Characteristics
Standalone software; requires Windows 2000+, 2.4 GHz processor, 512MB RAM. Supports TIFF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, BMP formats. Uses colorimetric pattern recognition for object identification based on size, shape, color, and intensity. Operates on digitized images from standard microscope/camera or digital slide scanners.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an accessory to Dako HercepTest® to aid pathologists in semi-quantitative measurement of HER2/neu in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue for patients being considered for Herceptin® (Trastuzumab) treatment.
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.

The software allows both archiving of the digital image, and semi quantitative analysis of extent and intensity of stained tissue, providing the pathologist with an aid to interpretation of level of expression of Her2/neu in breast cancer tissue. The pathologist is presented with a digital image of the tissue section and a suggested staining score (0 to 3). The pathologist then makes an assessment of the digital image and reports his/her score.
## Indications for Use:

#### Performance
- a. Between laboratory reproducibility: PATHIAM software was tested by three different pathologists, who analyzed images of the same set of 176 stained breast cancer tissue specimens using three different imaging systems in three different laboratories located at three different sites in the US. One laboratory used a microscope with a camera, and two used different models of digital whole slide scanners. The score distribution for these samples, as determined initially, was 1/6 of samples score 0, 1/3 of samples score 1, 1/3 of samples score 2, and 1/6 of samples score 3.
Overall agreement for the PATHIAM values between labs ranged from 94% to 95% (Table 1). For pathologist assisted by PATHIAM, overall agreement
{2}------------------------------------------------
between labs was 81% to 96% (Table 2). Overall agreement between laboratories for a manual (microscope assessment only) value ranged from 76% to 97% (Table 3).

| 1 v 3 | 76 | 69-82 |
| 2 v 3 | 78 | 71-84 |
- b. Comparison with manual (microscope assessment only) Her2-neu scores were obtained for those same breast cancer tissues from a review of PATHIAM values by the same three trained pathologists, who viewed both the digital images and the score provided by the software, and then selected an appropriate Her2-neu tissue score (0 to 3). One week later, the same pathologist read the same slides manually, using an optical microscope. The table shows the comparison.

| Lab # | % Overall<br>Agreement | 95% Confidence Interval<br>(Exact) |

|-------|------------------------|------------------------------------|
| 1 | 81 | 74-86 |
| 2 | 83 | 77-88 |
| 3 | 78 | 71-84 |
- c. Conclusion: It can be seen that the agreement of the manual scores compared to the PATHIAM raw scores (Table 5) is more consistent than the inter-pathologist comparison of manual scores (Table 3). Consistency is improved when the PATHIAM score assists the pathologist in their interpretation (Table 2). The comparison of PATHIAM raw scores across the three different setups in three different laboratories is very good (Table 1). Differences may be due to the selection by the pathologists of different fields of view for the analyses.
- d. Specificity, sensitivity and interferences are described in the HercepTest package insert.
