The test is intended for use as an aid in the management of breast cancer patients with metastatic disease by monitoring the progression or regression of disease in response to treatment. ## Summary and Explanation of the Test: Automatic dilution is available on the ACS:180® for the ACS:180 BR assay. Any sample initially reading with a value higher than the assay range will be rescheduled by the instrument for an automatic dilution. The ACS:180 has the capacity to aspirate as low as 5 µl of sample using the sample probe. Given the sample volume of 25 µl for ACS:180 BR, the maximum dilution that is possible is a 1:5. The instrument will aspirate 5 µl of sample and add 20 µl of diluent to maintain the 25 µl sample size. Instrument operation will then proceed as usual. ## Principle of the Assay: The Chiron Diagnostics ACS:180 BR assay is a competitive, chemiluminescent assay intended for use on the Chiron Diagnostics Automated Chemiluminescent System (ACS). One reagent, designated Lite Reagent, is composed of a mouse monoclonal antibody specific for CA 27.29, labeled with acridinium ester. The Solid Phase is composed of purified breast cancer antigen covalently coupled to paramagnetic particles (PMP). The patient serum sample is incubated with both reagents simultaneously for 7.5 minutes. An inverse relationship exists between the concentration of CA 27.29 in a sample and the relative light units (RLU) detected by the ACS:180 system. ## Specific Performance Characteristics: | Analytical Sensitivity | <3.5 U/mL | | --- | --- | | Clinical Trial Results | Prospective Clinical Trial | | Sensitivity to Change in Disease Status | 73% | | Specificity to Change in Disease Status | 71% | | Positive Predictive Value to Change in Disease Status | 77% | | Negative Predictive Value to Change in Disease Status | 67% | {2} JUL 24 '97 SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS - K970695 (continued) A total of 314 healthy volunteer donors were tested at three laboratories to determine the normal range of the assay and to determine the upper limit of normal (ULN). Following good laboratory practice, each laboratory should determine its own normal range and ULN. | Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) | 38.6 U/mL | | --- | --- | ## Specificity of the Assay The specificity of the assay was determined by testing serum samples from patients with active malignancies other than breast and serum from patients with other diseases and conditions. Results from the clinical study are presented below. Patients with non breast malignancies frequently have raised levels of the CA 27.29 antigen as indicated by their specificities. CA 27.29 is normally expressed by most epithelial tissues and over-expressed by many epithelial cancers. It is not a breast specific antigen. ### Specificity of the ACS180:BR in Patients with Malignancies other than Breast | Malignancy | N | Specificity | | --- | --- | --- | | Colon | 43 | 74.4% | | Liver | 20 | 45.0% | | Lung | 47 | 57.5% | | Ovary | 50 | 44.0% | | Pancreas | 45 | 53.3% | | Prostate | 34 | 82.4% | | Stomach | 29 | 93.1% | | Uterus | 30 | 86.7% | ### Specificity of the ACS:180 BR in Patients with Other Diseases And Conditions | Condition | N | Specificity | | --- | --- | --- | | Benign Breast Disease | | | | Breast Adenoma | 61 | 95.08% | | Fibrocystic Breasts | 68 | 98.53% | | Cirrhosis | 25 | 76.00% | | Endometriosis | 24 | 91.67% | | Lactating Woman | 37 | 89.19% | | Mild Chronic Hepatitis | 28 | 85.71% | | Ovarian Cyst | 50 | 94.00% | | Pregnancy | 49 | 97.96% | | Renal Impairment | 20 | 85.00% | | Severe Chronic Hepatitis | 20 | 95.00% | {3} JUL 24 '97 SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS - K970695 (continued) ## Potentially Interfering Substances There are no known cross-reactants for CA 27.29 as measured by the ACS:180 BR assay. The potential interference of chemotherapeutic agents, therapeutic drugs, and tumor marker antigens was tested by adding these substances to five serum pools containing CA 27.29 ranging from 20.0 to 445.8 U/mL. The level of CA 27.29 in each of these pools was then determined using the ACS:180 BR assay and normalized to the level without the respective drugs or antigens. | Substance | Mean % Recovery | Substance | Mean % Recovery | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Acetaminophen (10X) | 96.3 | Granisetron HCl (10X) | 99.9 | | Cimetidine (40X) | 100.9 | Lorazepam (10X) | 98.0 | | Ciprofloxacin (10X) | 100.1 | Megestrol acetate (5X) | 105.2 | | Codeine (10X) | 96.9 | Methotrexate (10X) | 105.8 | | Cyclophosphamide (1X) | 96.2 | Morphine (10X) | 95.6 | | Dexamethasone (10X) | 100.2 | Ondansetron (10X) | 93.3 | | Diphenhydramine HCl (10X) | 101.8 | Paclitaxel (2X) | 101.7 | | Doxorubicin (10X) | 95.9 | Prochlorperazine (10X) | 96.4 | | Etopside (2X) | 99.5 | Tamoxifen (10X) | 96.6 | | 5-Fluorouracil (10X) | 104.2 | Vinorelbine tartrate (10X) | 104.9 | | Antigen | Mean % Recovery | | --- | --- | | Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) | 103.8 | | Ovarian Cancer antigen (CA125) | 105.9 | | GI Cancer antigen (CA 19.9) | 103.6 | {4} JUL 24 '97 SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS - K970695 (continued) ## Correlation with Predicate Device The performance of the ACS: 180 BR assay was compared with that of the predicate device in a study of 203 specimens. These specimens had CA 27.29 levels that spanned the range from 7 to 994 U/mL. The results of the linear regression analysis indicated that the two methods were correlated. The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.96; the slope was 1.05 and y-intercept was 6 U/mL. The CA 27.29 results from a subset of this population, 103 women with histologically confirmed breast cancer, were also highly correlated (r = 0.96). In this analysis, the slope was 1.04 and the y-intercept was 8 U/mL. {5} DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration 2098 Gaither Road Rockville MD 20850 Ms. Nancy Hornbaker Regulatory Affairs Chiron Diagnostics Chiron Corporation 4560 Horton Street Emeryville, California 94608 Re: K970695/S1 Trade Name: ACS:180 BR Regulatory Class: II Product Code: MOI Dated: June 13, 1997 Received: June 16, 1997 Dear Ms. Hornbaker: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act).
