Device Story

Thermo Scientific Oxoid Eravacycline Disc (20μg) is an antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) disc used in semi-quantitative agar diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) testing. The disc is placed on agar plates inoculated with patient bacterial isolates; Eravacycline diffuses into the medium, inhibiting bacterial growth. Clinical microbiologists measure the resulting zone of inhibition to determine susceptibility. Results assist healthcare providers in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy for patients with infections caused by susceptible Gram-negative organisms. Used in clinical microbiology laboratories.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. The device relies on in vitro susceptibility testing performance characteristics and established microbiological standards for agar diffusion methods.

Technological Characteristics

Paper-based disc impregnated with 20μg of Eravacycline. Designed for use in standard agar diffusion susceptibility testing. No electronic components, software, or energy sources.

Indications for Use

Indicated for in vitro susceptibility testing of Eravacycline against specific Gram-negative bacteria (Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae) and for in vitro data collection for Citrobacter koseri and Klebsiella aerogenes. For prescription use only.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An antimicrobial susceptibility test disc is a device that consists of antimicrobic-impregnated paper discs used to measure by a disc-agar diffusion technique or a disc-broth elution technique the in vitro susceptibility of most clinically important bacterial pathogens to antimicrobial agents. In the disc-agar diffusion technique, bacterial susceptibility is ascertained by directly measuring the magnitude of a zone of bacterial inhibition around the disc on an agar surface. The disc-broth elution technique is associated with an automated rapid susceptibility test system and employs a fluid medium in which susceptibility is ascertained by photometrically measuring changes in bacterial growth resulting when antimicrobial material is eluted from the disc into the fluid medium. Test results are used to determine the antimicrobial agent of choice in the treatment of bacterial diseases.

### A Device Description:

Thermo Scientific Oxoid Eravacycline Disc (20 μg) ERV20 comprise 6 mm disks prepared by impregnating high absorbent paper with accurately determined amounts of eravacycline. The disk is clearly marked on both sides with the code ERV20. The code designates the agent (eravacycline) and the drug content (20 μg).

Thermo Scientific Oxoid disks are supplied in cartridges containing 50 disks each; there are 5 cartridges per pack. Each cartridge is individually sealed together with a desiccant capsule in a

{2}

foil covered see-through blister pack. Thermo Scientific Oxoid disks can be dispensed using a Thermo Scientific Oxoid Disk Dispenser.

# B Principle of Operation:

A suitable therapeutic agent can be determined using filter paper disks impregnated with specified concentrations of antimicrobial agents placed on the surface of a suitable test medium. The test is performed by inoculating pure cultures of clinical isolates onto the test medium and placing the AST disk on the surface of the medium. The antibiotic within the disk diffuses into the agar. After incubation, the zones of inhibition around the disks are measured and compared against recognized zone diameter ranges for the specific antimicrobial agent/organism combinations being tested.

VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

A Analytical Performance:

1. Precision/Reproducibility:

Reproducibility was conducted at an external site using 18 indicated organisms, tested with two disk lots on three separate days. Each test was visually read by three independent readers with results blinded, resulting in 324 data points for evaluation.

The reproducibility study included the following: 2 Citrobacter freundii, 2 Citrobacter koseri, 5 Enterobacter cloacae, 3 Escherichia coli, 1 Klebsiella aerogenes, 1 Klebsiella oxytoca and 4 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Reproducibility was assessed by considering a ±3 mm difference in zone diameter comparing test results with the modal zone diameter value. All results were ≤2 mm of the mode results. Results are shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Reproducibility Summary

| Between Disk Lots | | | Across Readers | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Lot #1 | Lot #2 | All Lots | Reader 1 | Reader #2 | Reader #3 | All Readers |

B Comparison Studies:

1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:

The Oxoid disk was compared with an FDA-cleared disk of the same antimicrobial, mass/concentration, and content. The study was conducted at one testing site. Three independent operators participated in reading of test results with isolates evenly distributed to mimic testing at multiple sites. The study included 300 clinical isolates recovered during the 2017 eravacycline surveillance testing of the drug development clinical trial. The isolates were selected to give a similar MIC distribution to the whole population (within each species

K193508 - Page 5 of 9

{5}

and eravacycline MIC). An additional 75 challenge isolates were also evaluated. These isolates included 56 isolates from the 2017 eravacycline surveillance (chosen to have a similar MIC distribution to the whole population with a selection bias to enrich for non-susceptible isolates) that were whole-genome-sequenced and 19 isolates with known resistance mechanisms provided by the drug manufacturer.

The following species were evaluated as clinical isolates in the study: Citrobacter freundii (29), Citrobacter koseri (24), Enterobacter cloacae (45), Escherichia coli (55), Klebsiella aerogenes (47), Klebsiella oxytoca (49) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (51). The following species were evaluated as challenge isolates in the study: Citrobacter freundii (7), Citrobacter koseri (5), Enterobacter cloacae (13), Escherichia coli (7), Klebsiella aerogenes (10), Klebsiella oxytoca (8) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (25). The performance of the Oxoid disk for Enterobacteriaceae when compared to an FDA-cleared disk is shown in Table 3.

Table 3: Performance of Oxoid Eravacycline with Enterobacteriaceae
| | Total | CA N | CA % | # S | #NS | MIN | MAJ | VMJ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Clinical | 300 | 299 | 96.7 | 300 | 0 | n/a | 1 | 0 |
| Challenge | 75 | 71 | 94.7 | 46 | 29 | n/a | 4 | 0 |
| Combined | 375 | 370 | 98.7 | 346 | 29 | n/a | 5 | 0 |

n/a: Not applicable due to the lack of an intermediate breakpoint

CA – Category Agreement
S – Susceptible isolates
NS – Non-susceptible isolates
MIN – minor errors
MAJ – major errors
VMJ – very major errors

The performance of the Oxoid Eravacycline disk as compared to an FDA-cleared disk is acceptable (CA = 98.7%). There were no very major discrepancies and five major discrepancies that were each within a 1 mm disk zone diameter.

As required under 511A(b)(2)(C)(ii)(I) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the following statement is included as a footnote to the performance table in the device labeling to address testing of non-indicated species:

Per the FDA-Recognized Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria website, the safety and efficacy of antimicrobial drugs, for which antimicrobial susceptibility is tested by this AST device, may or may not have been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials for treating clinical infections due to microorganisms outside of those found in the indications and usage in the drug label. The clinical significance of susceptibility information in those instances is unknown. The approved labeling for specific antimicrobial drugs provides the uses for which the antimicrobial drug is approved.

Eravacycline does not have intermediate or resistant interpretive criteria due to the absence of a sufficient number of resistant isolates. The following statement is included in the Limitations section of the device labeling:

K193508 - Page 6 of 9

{6}

The current absence of resistant isolates precludes defining any results other than "Susceptible". Isolates yielding results other than "Susceptible" should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing.

## Resistance Mechanisms in Challenge Isolates:

The seventy-five isolate challenge set included Enterobacteriaceae isolates harboring various molecular mechanisms of resistance noted in the FDA drug label, including tetracycline-resistance and β-lactam-resistance markers. Information regarding other resistance mechanisms is addressed in the device labeling with the following footnote:

Activity of eravacycline was demonstrated in vitro against Enterobacteriaceae in the presence of certain beta-lactamases, including extended spectrum β-lactamases, and AmpC. However, some beta-lactamase-producing isolates may confer resistance to eravacycline via other resistance mechanisms. The performance of Oxoid Eravacycline disc (20 μg) ERV20 is unknown for Enterobacteriaceae with other resistance mechanisms.

## Secondary Analysis:

A secondary analysis of the results obtained with the 375 clinical and challenge isolates was also performed. The analysis was conducted to assess the qualitative categorical agreement (CA) of the Oxoid Eravacycline disk diffusion results compared to the reference broth microdilution (BMD) results (based on historical data from BMD testing performed at the initial recovery of isolates during the drug clinical trial). Because of the similarities between the Oxoid disk and the comparator disk with respect to content, drug concentration and test methods, a similar analysis was also conducted with the comparator FDA-cleared disk diffusion results compared to the reference BMD results.

Analysis of the Oxoid disk showed a CA of 94.7% with no major errors (MAJ) and 18 very major errors (VMJ) out of 52 non-susceptible isolates (34.6%). In the absence of an intermediate breakpoint, further analysis and adjustment can be performed for categorical errors that are within "essential agreement" ("EA") of the reference MIC. The adjustment is based on the equivalence of one MIC doubling dilution with a 3 mm disk zone diameter at the breakpoint point. After "EA" adjustment, the total VMJ rate is 12/52 (23.1%) for the Oxoid disk. The analysis also revealed similar trends for the comparator disk.

The high number of categorical errors generated with both the Oxoid and comparator disks warranted an investigation into the possible variability of the BMD method since only a single reference MIC value was obtained for each isolate. A testing and analysis plan was developed solely to address the potential variability. It consisted of triplicate BMD testing performed concurrently with single Oxoid disk diffusion testing of all 18 isolates that yielded a discordant result (i.e., VMJ). In addition, a control set representing ~25% of isolates with concordant results (percentage calculated based on the total number of concordant results) were included in the concurrent testing. The control set comprised 68 isolates that had on-scale MIC values and were not in exact agreement with the disk diffusion result. The categorical interpretations of the disk diffusion value and mode/median MIC value were used to determine categorical agreement.

K193508 - Page 7 of 9

{7}

The investigation showed slight variability within the triplicate results of the BMD tests performed on both sets of isolates (i.e., isolates with initial concordant or discordant results); only the occasional one-doubling dilution difference and one instance of a two-doubling dilution difference were observed. However, variability (up to six doubling dilutions in some instances) was observed with both sets of isolates when comparing the historical MIC value (used in the above secondary analysis) with the final MIC value obtained after triplicate and concurrent testing with the disk diffusion method. When evaluating the concurrently obtained MIC and disk diffusion results, all isolates of the control set yielded concordant results based on categorical agreement. This result supported proceeding with analysis of the rest of the data obtained from this investigation. When evaluating the 18 isolates with initial discordant results, 13 isolates yielded concordant results. Four of the remaining five discordant results (i.e., VMJ), were in "EA" and, as noted above, an adjustment of the error rate was made due to the lack of an intermediate breakpoint. The single unresolved VMJ error (from Klebsiella oxytoca) is addressed in the following footnote to the performance table in the device labeling:

Of the three non-susceptible Klebsiella oxytoca strains tested, one resulted in a potential very major error with the eravacycline disc when compared to the broth microdilution result.

Due to the observed variability with the historical and recent MIC data as well as the resolution of most of the VMJ errors provided by the investigation, there are no concerns regarding the performance of the Oxoid Eravacycline disk.
