## Indications for Use

The ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative serial determination of cancer antigen CA 15-3 in human serum using the ADVIA Centaur® System. When used in conjunction with other clinical and diagnostic procedures, serial testing with the ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 assay is useful for monitoring the course of disease and therapy in metastatic breast cancer patients, and for detection of recurrence in previously treated patients with Stage II, with greater than two positive lymph nodes, or Stage III breast cancer patients. This assay is not intended for use on any other system.

## Device Story

Automated two-step sandwich immunoassay for CA 15-3 antigen in human serum; utilizes ADVIA Centaur system. Input: patient serum sample. Process: sample incubated with monoclonal mouse antibody (115D8) conjugate and paramagnetic particles (capture antibody); washed; incubated with acridinium ester-labeled monoclonal mouse antibody (DF3); washed again. Output: chemiluminescence signal directly proportional to CA 15-3 concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in monitoring metastatic breast cancer progression/therapy and detecting recurrence in specific high-risk breast cancer stages.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance established via method comparison study against predicate Immuno-1 CA 15-3 assay using 128 clinical samples ranging from 4.0 to 188.6 U/mL. Correlation demonstrated via Deming regression (slope 1.018, intercept -4.0 U/mL).

## Technological Characteristics

Two-step sandwich immunoassay; chemiluminescent detection using acridinium ester. Solid phase: paramagnetic particles with covalently coupled monoclonal mouse capture antibody. Reagents: monoclonal mouse antibody DF3 (Lite Reagent) and 115D8 (Conjugate Reagent). Fully automated system. No specific material standards or software algorithm class provided.

## Regulatory Identification

A tumor-associated antigen immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to qualitatively or quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, tumor-associated antigens in serum, plasma, urine, or other body fluids. This device is intended as an aid in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy or for the detection of recurrent or residual disease.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Tumor markers must comply with the following special controls: (1) A guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for the Submission of Tumor Associated Antigen Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) to FDA,” and (2) voluntary assay performance standards issued by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards.

## Predicate Devices

#### 7.2 Intended Use

The ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative serial determination of cancer antigen CA 15-3 in human serum using the ADVIA Centaur® System. When used in conjunction with other clinical and diagnostic procedures, serial testing with the ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 assay is useful for monitoring the course of disease and therapy in metastatic breast cancer patients, and for detection of recurrence in previously treated patients with Stage II, with greater than two positive lymph nodes, or Stage III breast cancer patients. This assay is not intended for use on any other system.

#### 7.3 Device Description

The ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 assay is a fully automated, two-step sandwich immunoassay using direct, chemiluminescent technology. The Lite Reagent is composed of the monoclonal mouse antibody, DF3, specific for CA 15-3, labeled with acridinium ester. The Conjugate Reagent is composed of the monoclonal mouse antibody 115D8, specific for CA 15-3, labeled with fluorescein. The Solid Phase is composed of purified monoclonal mouse capture antibody, which is covalently coupled to paramagnetic particles. The sample is incubated with both Conjugate Reagent and Solid Phase simultaneously for 20 minutes. After incubation, the immuno-complex is washed and the Lite Reagent is added, incubated for an additional 20 minutes and then washed again. The measured chemiluminescence is directly proportional to the quantity of CA 15-3 antigen in the sample.

#### 7.4 Comparison to the Predicate Device

The ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 immunoassay kit is similar to the Immuno-1 CA15-3 kit in the indications for use, format, performance characteristics, and results. The ADVIA Centaur tests differ mainly in their signal system as compared to the Immuno-1 principle. In the ADVIA Centaur method, a chemiluminogenic molecule (acridinium ester) is used to replace the Alkaline Phosphatase signal used in the Immuno-1 assay.

#### 7.5 Equivalence to Predicate Device

For 128 samples in the range of 4.0 to 188.6 U/mL, the relationship of the ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 assay to the Immuno 1™ CA 15-3 assay is described by the following equation (calculated using Deming Regression):

ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 = 1.018 (Immuno 1) – 4.0 U/mL

The data demonstrate substantial equivalence of the ADVIA Centaur CA 15-3 assay to the FDA-cleared Baver Immuno-1 CA 15-3 assay as an adjunctive test for use in the management (monitoring) of metastatic breast cancer patients during the course of disease and therapy and for the detection of disease recurrence in Stage II, with greater than two positive lymph nodes, or Stage III breast cancer patients.
