Indications for Use

An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and semiquantitation of anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgA antibodies in human serum of patients with inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) as an aid in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD).

Device Story

ImmuLisa ASCA IgA ELISA is an in vitro diagnostic test for human serum samples. It utilizes enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology to detect and semiquantify IgA antibodies against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel. The output provides a semiquantitative measurement of antibody levels, which clinicians use as an aid in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease in patients presenting with symptoms of inflammatory bowel disorder. The test assists in differentiating Crohn's disease from other gastrointestinal conditions, potentially facilitating earlier diagnosis and appropriate clinical management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided in the document.

Technological Characteristics

Solid-phase ELISA; microplate coated with S. cerevisiae phosphopeptidomannan antigen. Detection via alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-human IgA and pNPP substrate. Semi-quantitative output measured by spectrophotometry at 405 nm. Results reported in EU/mL. Standardized against internal calibrators; no international reference material available.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) to aid in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) via detection and semi-quantitation of anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgA antibodies in human serum.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

The Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae ) antibody (ASCA) test system is an in vitro diagnostic device that consists of the reagents used to measure, by immunochemical techniques, antibodies to S. cerevisiae (baker's or brewer's yeast) in human serum or plasma. Detection of S. cerevisiae antibodies may aid in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's “Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers: Class II Special Control Guidance Document for Anti-*Saccharomyces cerevisiae* (*S. cerevisiae* ) Antibody (ASCA) Premarket Notifications.”

K. Test Principle:
The ASCA test is a solid phase immunoassay (ELISA). Microwells are coated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphopeptidomannan antigen followed by blocking the unreacted sites to reduce nonspecific binding. Controls, calibrators and patient serum samples are incubated in the antigen coated wells which allows ASCA present in the serum to bind. Unbound antibody and other serum proteins are removed by washing the microwells. Antibodies bound to the microwells are detected by adding enzyme labeled anti-human IgA conjugate to the wells. These enzyme conjugated antibodies bind specifically to the human immunoglobulin. Unbound enzyme conjugate is removed by washing. Specific enzyme substrate (pNPP) is then added to the wells and the presence of antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae is detected by a color

change produced by the conversion of the pNPP substrate. The reaction is stopped and the intensity of color change, which is proportional to the concentration of antibody, is read by a spectrophotometer at 405 nm. Results are expressed in enzyme units per milliliter (EU/mL). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology is a well-established methodology.

L. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Seven samples with known concentrations of ASCA IgA were assayed in 10 replicates over a two week period. The sample values ranged from 8.2 to 190.4 EU/mL. Intra-assay %CVs ranged from 3.4 to 10.3% and inter-assay %CVs ranged from 8.2 to 10.5%.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Samples with known ASCA IgA concentrations were mixed with appropriate dilutions of other positive samples with known amounts of ASCA. Levels of the mixed samples were determined and from the values obtained, the percent recovery was calculated. Results ranged from 97 to 106%.

c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):
An international reference material for ASCA is not available. Results are reported in arbitrary ELISA units per milliliter (EU/mL)

d. Detection limit:
The limit of detection was established in a study of 2 normal sera run in 20 duplicates. The limit of detection is 7.9 EU/mL, well below the assay cut-off.

e. Analytical specificity:
Testing was performed on 8 hemolyzed, 1 icteric and 7 lipemic samples. All samples showed depressed recovery values for ASCA ranging from 46% to 90%. Samples containing anti-DNA antibodies, smooth muscle antibodies, immune complexes and RF were also tested. The percent negative results in these samples ranged from 86-87%.

f. Assay cut-off:
The normal range was established by testing 64 serum samples from apparently healthy donors. The mean plus 3 standard deviations of the mean of the normal value was used to determine the cut-off for normal versus abnormal. The value of the mean plus 3 standard deviations was assigned an arbitrary unit value of 20 EU/mL. At this cut-off 98.4% of the normal sera were negative. The assay includes an indeterminate range of 20-25 with results of &gt;25 being called positive.

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Comparison was shown with two different studies. In the first, a total of 66 samples were tested. The samples included 50 serum

samples from patients with a clinical diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) and 16 samples from patients with inflammatory bowel syndrome, celiac disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis, patients with a positive ANA or normal sera. The overall agreement between the assays was 88% with 1 borderline sample omitted from the calculation. The second study involved 66 samples (30 CD patients, 30 UC patients and 6 normal sera). The sensitivity of the new and the predicate device was 40% and 52% respectively. The specificity for the new device was 100% compared to 86% for the predicate device.

b. Matrix comparison:
Both assays use serum as the matrix.

3. Clinical studies:
a. Clinical sensitivity:
The study involved 66 samples (30 CD patients, 30 UC patients and 6 normal sera). The sensitivity of the new device was 40% (12/30).
b. Clinical specificity:
The specificity for the new device was 100% (36/36).
c. Other clinical supportive data (when a and b are not applicable):

4. Clinical cut-off:
See assay cut-off.

5. Expected values/Reference range:
The expected value in the normal population is negative. However, the sponsor cited literature where 0.6 to 10% of the normal population tested was positive for ASCA.

M. Conclusion:
The IMMCO Diagnostics ImmuLisa Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae Antibody (ASCA) IgA is substantially equivalent to other devices regulated under 21 CFR §866.5785, product code NBT, class II.
