Indications for Use
Elecsys CA 125 II assay: Elecsys CA 125 II is an immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of OC 125 reactive determinants in human serum, Li-heparin, K2-EDTA and K3-EDTA plasma, as well as Li-heparin plasma tubes containing separating gel on the cobas e 411 analyzer. These determinants are associated with a high molecular weight glycoprotein in serum and plasma of women with primary epithelial invasive ovarian cancer (excluding those with cancer of low malignant potential). This immunoassay is indicated for use as an aid in the detection of residual or recurrent ovarian carcinoma. This immunoassay is further indicated for use in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on the cobas e 411 immunoassay analyzers. Elecsys CA 125 II CalCheck: For use in the verification of the calibration established by the Elecsys CA 125 II reagent on the Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Device Story
The Elecsys CA 125 II assay is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for quantitative measurement of OC 125 reactive determinants in human serum and plasma. It utilizes a sandwich test principle: biotinylated monoclonal CA 125-specific antibody and ruthenium-labeled monoclonal CA 125-specific antibody form a sandwich complex with the analyte; streptavidin-coated microparticles serve as the solid phase for electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) detection. The device is used on the cobas e 411 analyzer in clinical laboratory settings. Results are calculated via a 2-point calibration curve and a master curve provided by reagent bar codes. The assay aids clinicians in detecting recurrent ovarian carcinoma and monitoring therapy response. The Elecsys CA 125 II CalCheck is a lyophilized product used to verify calibration of the assay. This submission modernizes labeling (LoB, LoD, LoQ data), updates sample:reagent ratios (20:70 μL), and extends calibration frequency to 8 weeks.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated on cobas e 411 analyzer per CLSI guidelines (EP5-A2, EP17-A2, EP6-A). Precision: within-run CVs 0.9-3.1%, total CVs 1.3-4.2%. LoB 0.6 U/mL, LoD 1.2 U/mL, LoQ 2 U/mL. Linearity verified across measuring range (2-3000 U/mL). No high-dose hook effect up to 50,000 U/mL. Method comparison (n=80) vs predicate showed Pearson correlation 0.995, slope 0.981. Interference testing confirmed robustness against common drugs, anticoagulants, and endogenous substances (hemolysis, bilirubin, lipemia, biotin, rheumatoid factor).

## L. Test Principle:
The Elecsys CA 125 II assay is a two-step sandwich immunoassay. First, sample is incubated with a biotinylated monoclonal CA 125-specific antibody and a monoclonal CA 125-specific antibody labeled with a ruthenium to form a sandwich complex. After addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles, the complex bounds to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin. The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed. A voltage is applied to the electrode to induce chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier. The results are determined via a calibration curve that is instrument-specifically generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent barcode.
## M. Performance Characteristics:
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Total Imprecision: Six human sera were measured with two replicates and two runs per day for 20 days (n = 80). The human sera were pooled patient and single donor spiked samples. Samples were measured using one lot of reagent, on one instrument (cobas e 411), at two different sites as indicated in the table below. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to calculate repeatability and reproducibility according to CLSI EP05-A3. All data met the manufacturer’s acceptance criteria for % CV and 95% confidence intervals for % CV.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity: The studies followed CLSI EP06-A, where 15 dilutions were prepared by diluting three human serum samples and three human plasma samples spiked with CA 125 down across the lower end of the measuring range. Each dilution was measured in three replicates on cobas e411. Results are summarized in the following table:
| Sample | Dilution range (U/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R² | %CV Range |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Serum Sample 1 | 0.31–3290 | 0.95 (0.95–0.95) | 0.02 (-0.224–0.271) | 0.99 | -0.2%–0.9% |
| Serum Sample 2 | 0.32–3139 | 1.00 (1.00–1.01) | 0.14 (-0.14–0.42) | 0.99 | -1.1%–6.7% |
| Serum Sample 3 | 0.31–3271 | 0.89 (0.88–0.89) | 0.10 (-0.15–0.35) | 0.99 | -1.6%–3.0% |
| Plasma Sample 1 | 0.30–3197 | 0.89 (0.88–0.90) | 0.00 (-0.39–0.40) | 0.99 | -3.8%–3.8% |
| Plasma Sample 2 | 0.27–3210 | 0.88 (0.88–0.89) | 0.30 (-0.10–0.70) | 0.99 | -3.5%–1.7% |
| Plasma Sample 3 | 0.40–3241 | 0.88 (0.87–0.89) | 0.03 (-0.36–0.43) | 0.99 | -5.4%–2.7% |
The data support linearity from 2.0–3000 U/mL. Values below the LoD are reported as <2.0 U/mL and values above the measuring range as >3000 U/mL.
Automatic dilution versus manual dilution: Three human serum samples were spiked with CA 125 to concentrations above the analytical measuring range. These samples were diluted 1:5 manually or automatically on the cobas e 411 analyzer using Diluent Universal. Each sample was measured in triplicate with one lot on one analyzer and the median value was used to compare percent recovery of the manual dilution to that of the automated dilution. The manufacturer's acceptance criteria of percent recovery 90–110% were met.
High dose hook effect: Hook effect was measured using two human serum samples spiked with CA 125 to 50000 U/mL. Each sample was then diluted with Diluent
{8}
Universal to a level below the upper limit of the analytical measuring range and measured with a single replicate using one lot of reagent and one analyzer (cobas e 411). The data demonstrated the assay is not susceptible to antigen excess up to a concentration of 50000 U/mL.
c. Traceability and Stability:
i. Traceability:
There are no reference standards for CA 125. The results are reported in U/mL and the method has been standardized against the Enzymun-Test CA 125 II method. This in turn has been standardized against the CA 125 II RIA from Fujirebio Diagnostics.
ii. Kit Stability:
Shelf-Life Stability: A real-time stability study set the shelf-life stability of the Elecsys CA 125 II assay at 18 months when stored at 2–8°C.
Open-Vial Stability: The assay reagents can be stored opened at 2–8°C for up to 12 weeks.
On-Board Stability: The assay reagents can be stored on-board the cobas e 411 analyzer at 20±3°C for up to 6 weeks.
iii. Sample Stability:
Ten human samples for each sample type (serum, K₂-EDTA-plasma, K₃-EDTA-plasma, Li-heparin-plasma) that covered the analytical measuring range were tested under four different conditions: 2–8°C, 15–25°C, -20°C, and after multiple freeze/thaw cycles. Each sample was measured with three replicates and percent recovery was compared to the sample stored at -80°C. Samples were determined to be stable for up to 5 days at 2–8°C, up to 8 hours at 15–25°C, up to 24 weeks at -20°C or following 2 freeze/thaw cycles.
d. Detection limit:
The Limit of Blank (LoB) and Limit of Detection (LoD) were determined according to CLSI EP17-A2. To estimate LoB, five measurand-free human serum samples were measured in six runs on two instruments with three different reagent lots (n = 60 replicates per reagent lot). LoB was calculated as the highest 95th percentile value from the three reagent lots. The LoB was determined to be 0.6 U/mL. To determine LoD, five human serum samples with low analyte values were measured in six runs on two instruments with three different reagent lots (n = 60 replicates per reagent lot). LoD was calculated from the following equation: LoD = LoB + 1.653 x (total standard deviation). The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) was determined using six
9
{9}
pooled human serum samples that were diluted to have CA 125 concentrations between $1.0 - 6.3\mathrm{U / mL}$ . Each sample was measured in six runs, on two instruments, with three different reagent lots ( $n = 72$ replicates per reagent lot). The detection limit values are presented in the table below:
| LoB | LoD | LoQ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0.6 U/mL | 1.2 U/mL | 2.0 U/mL |
# e. Analytical specificity:
# i. Endogenous Interference:
Interferences were assessed by testing two human serum samples with CA 125 concentrations of 35 and $2260~\mathrm{U / mL}$ . Each sample was split in half, and a high concentration of each potentially interfering endogenous substance was spiked into one half. The spiked sample was then mixed with the non-spiked half to create a series of eleven samples containing different concentrations of the potential interferent and tested in. a single replicate. The manufacturer's acceptance criteria for non-interference were met and the assay was not affected by the following substances at the indicated concentrations:
| Interfering Substance | Final Test Concentration |

| Hemoglobin | 3200 mg/dL |
| HAMA | 805 μg/mL |
# ii. Exogenous Interference:
A total of 16 common drugs and 23 cancer drugs were tested for interference using two spiked human serum samples with CA 125 concentrations of 11 and $313\mathrm{U / mL}$ . Each sample was spiked with a high concentration of interferent and measured with three replicates in one run using one reagent lot on one analyzer (cobas e 411). The manufacturer's acceptance criteria for non-interference were met and the assay was not affected by the following drugs at the indicated concentrations:

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A total of 80 native, single-donor human serum samples spanning the dynamic range (4.7–2680 U/mL) were assayed in singleton with the predicate device and the new device on the Elecsys 2010 analyzer using CA 125 II Cal Set (k003969). Regression statistics are based on the balance of the paired results and the data are as follows:
{11}
| Regression Fit | Regression Equation | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R² |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Passing-Bablok | y = 0.98 x + 1.2 | 0.94 to 1.00 | 0.33–1.82 | 0.99 |
# b. Comparison between previous and updated calibrators:
A total of 111 native, single donor human serum samples spanning the dynamic range (3.2–2,621 U/mL) were assayed in singleton with the new device on the cobas e 411 analyzer using either the previous calibrator set (Elecsys CA 125 II Cal Set, K003969) or the updated calibrator set (Elecsys CA 125 II Cal Set II, K140112). Regression statistics are based on the balance of the paired results and the data are as follows:
| Regression Fit | Regression Equation | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R² |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Passing-Bablok | y = 0.99 x - 0.82 | 0.993–0.994 | -0.827–-0.818 | 1.00 |
# c. Matrix comparison
A study was performed to demonstrate that heparin plasma (Li-heparin or drawn into Li-heparin Plasma Separation Tubes) and EDTA $\mathrm{(K_2}$ -EDTA-, $\mathrm{K}_3$ -EDTA) plasma matrices yield comparable values as serum in the Elecsys CA 125 II assay. A total of 51 or 52 matrix-matched samples spread across the assay range (2.2-2980 U/mL) were assayed in duplicate using one reagent lot and one analyzer (cobas e 411). Passing-Bablok regression analysis was performed and the corresponding slopes of regression and coefficient determination are summarized in the following table:
| Plasma Type | N | Range Tested (U/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | Correlation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Li-Heparin | 52 | 2.3–2980 | 0.98 (0.94–0.99) | 0.11 (-0.03–0.48) | 1.0 |
| K2-EDTA | 51 | 2.3–2962 | 0.98 (0.97–0.99) | 0.04 (-0.26–0.13) | 1.0 |
| K3-EDTA | 51 | 2.3–2962 | 1.00 (0.96–1.02) | -0.45 (-0.74–-0.01) | 1.0 |
| Li-Heparin Separation Tubes | 51 | 2.3–2980 | 0.98 (0.92–1.00) | -0.35 (-0.69–0.18) | 1.0 |

5. Expected values/Reference range:
Expected Values in Normal Healthy Individuals: To determine the reference range of the Elecsys CA 125 II assay in healthy women, 120 pre-menopausal and 120 postmenopausal women were tested (total = 240 subjects). Ages ranged from 18 to 87 years and represented whites (96%), Hispanic/Latino (0.4%), Asian (0.4%) and African American (2.5%) subjects. The mean, SD, median, range and 5th to 95th percentile of CA125 concentrations, and percent below the upper limit of normal (ULN) as observed in the data, are shown for each group in the table below.

| Percent below ULN* | 95% |
Expected Values in Non-Ovarian Malignancy Conditions: To evaluate the performance of the Elecsys CA 125 II assay in subjects with other malignant and benign conditions, the assay was evaluated in 199 subjects with various cancers (bladder cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, endometrial cancer, lung cancer) and in 411 women with benign conditions. A total of 80 women with conditions other than cancers (hypertension and pregnancy) were also included. A total of 690 specimens were analyzed. The mean, standard deviation, mean, 5th to 95th percentiles of CA125 concentrations, and percent below the ULN, as observed in the data, are shown for each condition group. Elevated CA 125 concentrations can be found in samples from patients with serositis or other
