Analytical performance evaluation: 98 samples selected from 2004-2007 for HD vs LD microarray comparison; 104 samples used for scanner comparison; Clinical validation studies: Nature Paper (78 patients), NEJM Paper (151 patients), Transbig Paper (302 patients).
Indications for Use
MammaPrint® is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test service, performed in a single laboratory, using the gene expression profile of fresh breast cancer tissue samples to assess a patients' risk for distant metastasis. The test is performed for breast cancer patients who are less than 61 years old, Stage I or Stage II disease, with a tumor size <= 5.0 cm and lymph node negative. The MammaPrint® result is indicated for use by physicians as a prognostic marker only, along with other clinicopathological factors.
Device Story
MammaPrint is a microarray-based gene expression analysis service for breast cancer prognosis. Input: fresh breast cancer tissue samples. Process: RNA isolation; DNA'se treatment; linear amplification and labeling; cRNA purification; hybridization to high-density (HD) microarray; scanning; data acquisition. Algorithm: compares sample gene activity to a reference standard (mean expression profile of 44 tumors with known good clinical outcome) to generate an expression profile (fingerprint). Output: molecular profile classification (Low Risk or High Risk). Used in a single laboratory setting; results interpreted by physicians as a prognostic marker alongside clinicopathological factors to inform clinical decision-making regarding distant metastasis risk.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical data; relies on previous submissions. Analytical performance for HD microarray demonstrated via 20-day reproducibility study (n=3 samples/level, duplicate runs). Standard deviation and variance (0.030 and 0.001) were comparable to predicate. Method comparison (n=98) showed 98.9% concordance between HD and LD arrays. Scanner performance comparison (n=104) confirmed equivalence via Passing and Bablok regression.
Technological Characteristics
Microarray-based gene expression profiling system. Uses high-density (HD) 8-pack microarrays and Agilent G2505B scanner. Process involves RNA extraction, amplification, labeling, and hybridization. Software performs multivariate analysis of gene expression data against a reference template. System is a centralized laboratory service.
Indications for Use
Indicated for breast cancer patients <61 years old, Stage I or II, tumor size ≤5.0 cm, and lymph node negative. Used to assess risk for distant metastasis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gene expression profiling test system for breast cancer prognosis is a device that measures the ribonucleic acid (RNA) expression level of multiple genes and combines this information to yield a signature (pattern or classifier or index) to aid in prognosis of previously diagnosed breast cancer.

I. Device Description:
The MammaPrint® test is performed and provided as a service by Agendia Laboratory. The test is a microarray based gene expression analysis of RNA extracted from breast tumor tissue. The test is a custom-designed array chip manufactured by Agilent Technologies using the Agilent oligonucleotide microarray platform which assesses the mRNA expression of the 70 genes in triplicate. The MammaPrint® microarray features eight 1900-feature subarrays per glass slide which can each be individually hybridized. Per subarray 232 reporter genes are printed in triplicate, including the 70 genes which make up the MammaPrint® prognostic profile. Each subarray additionally includes 465 normalization genes and 289 spots for hybridization and printing quality control.
The analysis is based on several processes: isolation of RNA from fresh tumor tissue sections, DNAse treatment of isolated RNA, linear amplification and labeling of DNAse treated RNA, cRNA purification, hybridization of the cRNA to the MammaPrint® microarray, scanning the MammaPrint® microarray and data acquisition (feature extraction), calculation and determination of the risk of recurrence in breast cancer patients.
The MammaPrint® analysis is designed to determine the gene activity of specific genes in a tissue sample compared to a reference standard. The result is an expression profile, or fingerprint, of the sample. The correlation of the sample expression profile to a template (the mean expression profile of 44 tumors with a known good clinical outcome) is calculated and the molecular profile of the sample is determined (Low Risk, High Risk, Low Risk Borderline, High Risk Borderline).
J. Substantial Equivalence Information:
1. Predicate device name(s): Agendia BV's MammaPrint®
2. Predicate 510(k) number(s): k070675
3. Comparison with predicate: The device is the same as the predicate, except for the addition of a microarray scanner and replacement of the low density (LD) microarray with high density (HD) microarray. Similar to the LD microarray, the HD microarray is manufactured under QSR design control. The differences between the HD and the LD microarrays are:
- HD array has more concentrated spots on the array and the 70 signature genes are printed in nine-fold instead of three-fold
- Feature extraction software uses Version 9.5, which uses the triplicate printings of the 465 normalization genes, rather than single print of 465 normalization genes in Version 8.5
- X-Print analysis software calculates average of LogRatios of probes printed in nine-fold instead of three-fold for the LD array.

# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
# 1. Analytical performance:
# a. Precision/Reproducibility:
i. Reproducibility of high density microrray:
The experimental design consisted of repeated runs over 20 days in which 3 samples with different outcome levels, high, low and borderline, were performed on MammaPrint index High Density 8-pack arrays. For each day, one run is performed. For each run, each sample level was assayed in duplicate.
Additionally both control samples high and low risk control (HRC, LRC) as used for MammaPrint were also run along with one of the replicate Runs. The repeatability and precision of the MammaPrint index of all outcome levels were at least as good as the performance of the predicate device (Standard Deviation and Variance of 0.030 and 0.001 respectively).

# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
i. Comparison between the HD and LD microarrays
Ninety-eight (98) samples were selected for MammaPrint service from the period 2004 through 2007. Samples originating from 2004 through 2005 were relabeled and hybridized to both LD and HD 8-pack arrays. However, for samples from 2006 to 2007, the labeled cRNAs were only re-hybridized on HD 8-pack MammaPrint arrays and the original MammaPrint Index from previous LD hybridizations were used. Comparison results showed a $98.9\%$ concordance in MammaPrint outcome between HD and LD microarray which falls within the $97.7\%$ technical precision of the predicate device.

ii. Comparison between the previously cleared scanner and the additional scanner The same samples from the precision study were used to evaluate the performance between the scanners. A set of 26 newly hybridized slides (104 samples) were scanned first on the FDA cleared scanner (serial nr: US22502555, Agendia DPd Id: 002) and subsequently on the new scanner (serial nr: US45103019 Agendia DPd Id: 112). MammaPrint indices were compared between both scans using Passing and Bablok regression analysis and a comparison of the variance per scanner. The difference between the mean, median and standard deviation for all

samples levels between both scanners fell within the accepted variance of the predicate device of 0.059 (1.96*0.030).
