Indications for Use

The ADVIA Centaur® Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase II (aTPOII) assay is for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative measurement of autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase in human serum and plasma (EDTA and lithium heparin) using the ADVIA Centaur® XP system. Anti-thyroid peroxidase (aTPO) measurements are used, in conjunction with a clinical assessment, as an aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis and Graves' Disease.

Device Story

The ADVIA Centaur aTPOII is a fully automated, 1-step competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay used on the ADVIA Centaur XP system. It measures autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase in human serum and plasma. The device uses recombinant TPO complexed with mouse monoclonal anti-TPO antibody labeled with acridinium ester, and streptavidin-coated paramagnetic microparticles with biotinylated mouse monoclonal anti-TPO antibody. The system processes samples to provide a quantitative result (IU/mL). Clinicians use these results alongside clinical assessments to diagnose autoimmune thyroiditis and Graves' disease. The device benefits patients by providing standardized, automated laboratory testing to support the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disorders.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance was evaluated in a multi-center study of 666 samples (364 prospective, 302 retrospective). The study compared the assay against clinical diagnosis (American Thyroid Association criteria). Overall sensitivity was 71.5% (95% CI: 65.0–77.2%) and specificity was 81.7% (95% CI: 77.9–85.0%). Method comparison against a commercially available anti-TPO assay (n=280) showed 87.7% PPA and 98.1% NPA.

Technological Characteristics

Quantitative chemiluminescent immunoassay. Reagents: recombinant TPO, mouse monoclonal anti-TPO antibodies, acridinium ester label, streptavidin-coated paramagnetic microparticles. Analytical measuring interval: 4.6–400.0 IU/mL. Cut-off: 10.4 IU/mL. Traceable to NIBSC 66/387. Instrument: ADVIA Centaur XP system. Stability: 24-month shelf-life, 42-day onboard reagent stability.

Indications for Use

Indicated for quantitative measurement of anti-thyroid peroxidase (aTPO) autoantibodies in human serum and plasma (EDTA/lithium heparin) to aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis and Graves' disease in patients presenting with signs/symptoms of autoimmune thyroid disease.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A thyroid autoantibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the thyroid autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues). Measurement of thyroid autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of certain thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's disease (chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis), nontoxic goiter (enlargement of thyroid gland), Grave's disease (enlargement of the thyroid gland with protrusion of the eyeballs), and cancer of the thyroid.

B Principle of Operation:

The ADVIA Centaur aTPOII assay is a fully automated 1-step competitive immunoassay using acridinium ester (AE) chemiluminescent technology. The assay employs two anti-TPO antibodies and a recombinant TPO antigen. The first antibody, in the Solid Phase, is a biotinylated mouse monoclonal anti-TPO antibody that is bound to streptavidin-coated paramagnetic microparticles. The second antibody is a mouse monoclonal anti-TPO antibody labeled with acridinium ester in a preformed complex with unlabeled recombinant thyroid peroxidase (rTPO). Successful bridging of the Solid Phase antibody with the AE-labeled antibody and rTPO in the Lite Reagent will result in signal generation. Anti-TPO autoantibodies present in the sample will compete with the Solid Phase biotinylated anti-TPO monoclonal antibody for binding to rTPO and reduce the signal. An inverse relationship exists between the amount of anti-TPO antibody present in the patient sample and the amount of relative light units (RLUs) detected by the system.

Within-Laboratory Precision:

Within-laboratory precision was assessed using six native human serum samples, one contrived sample (Serum A), and two levels of control materials. Two replicates each of the samples were run on one (1) ADVIA Centaur XP system for 20 days, two runs per day using one aTPOII reagent lot for a total of 80 replicates per sample. The data were analyzed for repeatability (within-run), between-run, between-day, and within-laboratory precision. The mean (IU/mL), standard deviation (SD) (IU/mL) and % of coefficient of variation (%CV) are summarized in the table below:

| Sample | Mean (IU/mL) | Within-Run (Repeatability) | | Between-Run | | Between-Day | | Within-Laboratory | |

Lot-to-Lot Precision:

The lot-to-lot precision was evaluated using three reagent lots on the ADVIA Centaur XP system. Eight serum samples at different concentrations and two levels of control materials were tested with five replicates per run, one run per day over five days, resulting in $N = 75$ datapoints per sample on one instrument. The same study was also performed on two additional instruments. The data was analyzed for within-run, between-day, and between-reagent lot, and total precision. The lot-to-lot precision data on one representative instrument are summarized in the table below.

2. Linearity:

The linearity of the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII was determined in accordance with CLSI EP06-ED2. Linearity samples were prepared by mixing high and low samples in known ratios. Two sets of overlapping dilutions were created; Sample Set 1 was prepared by combining a low/negative human serum sample with a moderately positive aTPOII sample, while Sample Set 2 was prepared by combining a different moderately positive aTPOII sample with a high aTPOII positive sample. Each dilution was tested in quadruplicate. The results are summarized in the table below:

| Sample Set | Range (IU/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | r | % Deviation from Linearity |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 0.13–159.3 | 1.05 (1.01–1.08) | 0 (-0.54–1.09) | 0.999 | -4.3%–6.6% |
| 2 | 154.7 – 412.0 | 1.08 (1.05–1.11) | 0 (-30.3–32.57) | 0.989 | -7.7%–6.7% |
| Combined | 0.13 – 412.0 | 1.07 (1.04–1.09) | 0 (-0.78–0.91) | 0.997 | -7.5%–8.4% |

All dilutions were within $\pm 10\%$ deviation from the linearity. The data supports a linearity of the claimed analytical measuring interval (AMI) of $4.6 - 400.0~\mathrm{IU / mL}$ for the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII.

### a) Traceability:

The ADVIA Centaur aTPOII assay is traceable to NIBSC 66/387 Human Anti-thyroid Microsome Serum reference standard.

### b) Stability:

#### Kit stability:

**Shelf-life stability:** A Real Time stability study was conducted at 3-month intervals using three lots of reagents stored at 2–8°C. At each timepoint, three samples representing the assay cut-off and low positives (≥10.4 – ≤20.0 IU/mL), a moderate positive (>20.0– ≤40.0 IU/mL), and a high positive (≥130.0 – ≤270.0 IU/mL) were tested at time 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and 25-months. The results support a 24-month stability claim.

#### In-use reagent stability:

In-use stability of the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII kit was evaluated by testing three samples representing the assay cut-off and low positives (≥10.4 – ≤20.0 IU/mL), a

K250250 - Page 8 of 13

{8}

moderate positive (>20.0–≤40.0 IU/mL), and a high positive (≥130.0–≤270.0 IU/mL) for the reagent study and using two lots which were opened and stored on the ADVIA Centaur XP system for the duration of the study, which included at least five timepoints and at least two replicates per sample. The results support a claim for reagent onboard stability of 42 days.

Sample stability:

The stability of specimens stored under different conditions was evaluated by testing a panel of samples collected into Serum Separator tubes (SST), Lithium Heparin (LiHep) tubes and dipotassium EDTA (K2 EDTA) tubes spiked with anti-TPO positive samples to make samples across the assay range. The data supported the following storage conditions for all three tested sample matrices:

| Sample Stability Attribute: | Stability Claims |
| --- | --- |
| Room Temperature (RT): | 8 hours |
| Refrigerated (2 – 8°C) | 7 days |
| Frozen (-20°C) | 6 months |
| On the clot - RT | 8 hours |
| Freeze-thaw | 2 cycles |
| Time to centrifugation | 8 hours |

6. Detection Limit:

The Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD) and Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII were determined based on the CLSI guideline EP17-A2.

a) LoB:

The LoB was determined by testing four independent human serum samples using three different reagent lots of the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII. These samples were obtained from patients who had undergone thyroidectomy over 10 years ago and were confirmed to be negative for anti-thyroid peroxidase (aTPO) antibodies using the predicate ARCHITECT aTPO assay. Ten replicates of each sample were run on two ADVIA Centaur XP systems, one run per day for three days yielding 240 datapoints per reagent lot (120 rep per system per lot). The claimed LoB is 2.3 IU/mL.

b) LoD:

The LoD was determined by testing four low-level pooled samples using three different reagent lots of the ADVIA Centaur aTPO II. Each pooled sample was prepared by combining a unique aTPO positive sample with a unique negative sample. Ten replicates of each pooled sample were tested on two ADVIA Centaur XP systems, with one run per day over three days, resulting in a total of 240 datapoints per reagent lot (120 rep per system per lot). The claimed LoD is 4.6 IU/mL.

c) LoQ:

The LoQ was determined using six native samples and two pooled samples, with concentrations ranging from 3 to 15 IU/mL. Four replicates of each sample were tested on two ADVIA Centaur XP systems over five days using two different reagent lots

K250250 - Page 9 of 13

{9}

ADVIA Centaur aTPOII, resulting in 40 replicates per sample per reagent lot. The claimed LoQ is 4.6 IU/mL.

7. Assay Cut-Off:

The assay cut-off is 10.4 IU/mL.

B Comparison Studies:

1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:

A method comparison was conducted for the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII assay (candidate device) against the Abbott ARCHITECT aTPO assay (predicate device), using prospectively and retrospectively collected samples. The samples included autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), non-autoimmune thyroid disease control samples (NAITD), and disease control samples. Results outside the AMR (analytical measurement range) of either assay were excluded from the final analysis and positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA), with 95% confidence intervals were calculated:

| | Predicate | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | Positive | Negative | Total |
| ADVIA Centaur aTPOII | Positive | 199 | 1 | 200 |

2. Matrix Comparison:

To demonstrate that Li-Heparin plasma and K2-EDTA plasma samples yield results comparable to results obtained with serum samples, 56 sample sets that cover the AMI for the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII assay were tested and analyzed by Passing-Bablok regression. The results are summarized in the following table:

| | Range (IU/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | r |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Li-Heparin vs. Serum | 6.4–398.0 | 0.94 (0.92–0.98) | 0.1 (-2.2–1.5) | 0.987 |
| K2-EDTA vs. Serum | 6.4–380.9 | 0.99 (0.94–1.04) | -0.9 (-7.2–2.4) | 0.975 |

C Clinical Studies:

1. Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity:

A total of 666 samples were evaluated in two cohorts. In a clinical study, 364 samples, of which 207 samples were clinically confirmed autoimmune thyroiditis (also known as

K250250 - Page 10 of 13

{10}

Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and Graves' disease (collectively, autoimmune thyroid disease, AITD), were prospectively collected across six sites in the United States. Definitive diagnoses were made by endocrinologists in accordance with the American Thyroid Association's guidelines¹,² The samples were collected from subjects who presented with clinical signs or symptoms and are suspected of, or have been diagnosed with, Graves' disease or autoimmune thyroiditis or were pregnant and postpartum (within one year postpartum from pregnancy) female subjects with clinical signs or symptoms of thyroid disease. Subjects could enroll if they had not started treatment, or who started antithyroid medications or hormone replacement therapy treatment less than or equal to six (6) months from the date of collection and were ≥22 years of age. The samples were defined as AITD or not-AITD (NAITD) and not further characterized except for multinodular goiter.

| | | Autoimmune Thyroiditis | Graves' Disease | NAITD* | Total |
| ADVIA Centaur aTPOII | Positive | 60 | 88 | 17 | 165 |
| | Negative | 40 | 19 | 140 | 199 |
| | Total | 100 | 107 | 157 | 364 |

* The NAITD cohort included 62 multinodular goiter patients.

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Sensitivity: 60.0% (60/100) (95% CI: 50.2–69.1%)

Specificity: 89.2% (140/157) (95% CI: 83.3–93.1%)

Graves' Disease

Sensitivity: 82.2% (88/107) (95% CI: 73.9–88.3%)

Specificity: 89.2% (140/157) (95% CI: 83.3–93.1%)

An additional 262 samples were retrospectively obtained from pregnant subjects and patients with various other disease states that could be considered in the differential diagnosis of AITD and added to the prospective cohort. The clinical sensitivity and specificity for the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII were determined and shown in the table below:

| | Clinical Diagnosis | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | Autoimmune Thyroiditis | Graves' Disease | Controls | Total |
| ADVIA Centaur aTPOII | Positive | 60 | 88 | 84 | 231 |

* Prospective cohort not further diagnosed

## D Clinical Cut-Off:

The clinical cut-off is 10.4 IU/mL.

## E Expected Values/Reference Range:

A reference interval for apparently healthy adults using the ADVIA Centaur aTPOII was established non-parametrically in accordance with CLSI Document EP28-A3c. Samples were collected prospectively from 261 euthyroid male and female adult subjects ≥22 years of age with normal TSH levels, no evidence of goiter, and tested on three lots of the ADVIA Centaur

aTPOII. The 95th percentile of Lot 2 was below the LoQ while the 95th percentile of Lot 1 and Lot 3 were 4.8 and 6.5 IU/mL. A small percentage of samples were above the clinical cut-off of 10.4 IU/mL; Lot 1, 3.1% (8 samples); Lot 2, 3.8% (10 samples); Lot 3, 3.4% (9 samples). The reference range claim is defined as < 10.4 IU/mL.

The sponsor recommends each laboratory should determine its own reference interval for the diagnostic evaluation of patient results.
