Clinical Validation of the cobas HPV Test on the cobas 6800 System for the Purpose of Cervical Screening.

ABSTRACT: This study demonstrates that the clinical sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of the novel cobas human papillomavirus (HPV) test on the cobas 6800 system for high-risk HPV types fulfills the criteria for use in population-based cervical screening. The criteria were formulated by an international consortium, using the cobas 4800 HPV test as a validated reference assay. The cobas HPV test detected over 98% of histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2+ (CIN2+) lesions in women age 30?years or older, with a specificity of 98.9% compared with the reference cobas 4800 test. Both the intra- and interlaboratory agreement for the cobas HPV test were 98%. The clinical performance of the cobas HPV test is comparable to those of longitudinally validated HPV assays and fulfills the criteria for its use in primary cervical screening.

Project description:BackgroundAccording to international guidelines, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA tests represent a valid alternative to Pap Test for primary cervical cancer screening, provided that they guarantee balanced clinical sensitivity and specificity for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or more (CIN2+) lesions. The study aimed to assess whether HPV Selfy (Ulisse BioMed - Trieste, Italy), a full-genotyping HPV DNA test that detects and differentiates 14 high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types, meets the criteria for primary cervical cancer screening described in the international guidelines, on clinician-collected as well as on self-collected samples.MethodsFor each participant woman, consecutively referring to Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliano Isontina (Trieste, Italy) and CRO-National Cancer Institute (Aviano, Italy) for the cervical cancer screening program, the following samples were tested: (a) a clinician-collected cervical specimen, analyzed with the reference test (Hybrid Capture®2 test, HC2) and HPV Selfy; and (b) a self-collected vaginal sample, analyzed with HPV Selfy. Enrolled women were also asked to fulfill a questionnaire about self-sampling acceptability. As required by guidelines, a non-inferiority test was conducted to compare the clinical performance of the test under evaluation with its reference test.ResultsHPV Selfy clinical sensitivity and specificity resulted non-inferior to those of HC2. By analysis of a total of 889 cervical liquid-based cytology samples from a screening population, of which 98 were from women with CIN2+, HPV Selfy showed relative sensitivity and specificity for CIN2+ of 0.98 and 1.00 respectively (non-inferiority score test: P = 0.01747 and P = 0.00414, respectively); the test reached adequate intra- and inter-laboratory reproducibility. Moreover, we demonstrated that the performance of HPV Selfy on self-collected vaginal samples was non-inferior to the performance obtained on clinician-collected cervical specimen (0.92 relative sensitivity and 0.97 relative specificity). Finally, through HPV Selfy genotyping, we were able to describe HPV types prevalence in the study population.ConclusionsHPV Selfy fulfills all the requirements of the international Meijer's guidelines and has been clinically validated for primary cervical cancer screening purposes. Moreover, HPV Selfy has also been validated for self-sampling according to VALHUDES guidelines. Therefore, at date, HPV Selfy is the only full-genotyping test validated both for screening purposes and for self-sampling. Trial registration ASUGI Trieste n. 16008/2018; CRO Aviano n.17149/2018.

Project description:The clinical performance of the Cobas CT/NG assay on the Cobas 6800/8800 systems (Cobas) for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was established in a multisite, prospective collection study using male and female urogenital specimens; supportive data from archived specimens were also included. The results obtained with the Cobas assay were compared with the patient infected status derived from a combination of U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved nucleic acid amplification tests to determine the sensitivity and specificity of detection from each sample type. The sensitivity of Cobas for the detection of C. trachomatis in female specimens was 95.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 92.4% to 97.4%) for urine; 98.6% (95% CI, 95.2% to 99.6%) and 99.2% (95% CI, 95.4% to 99.9%) for clinician- and self-collected vaginal swab specimens, respectively; 93.3% (95% CI, 89.6% to 95.7%) for endocervical swabs; and 92.5% (95% CI, 88.7% to 95.1%) for cervical swab samples in PreservCyt. The specificity for the detection of C. trachomatis was ≥98.8% for all female sample types. Sensitivity and specificity estimates of Cobas for the detection of C. trachomatis in male urine samples were 100% (96.8% to 100.0%) and 99.7% (95% CI, 99.2% to 99.9%), respectively. The sensitivity of Cobas for the detection of N. gonorrhoeae in female specimens was 94.8% (95% CI, 89.6% to 97.4%) for urine; 100.0% (95% CI, 87.9% to 100.0%) and 100.0% (95% CI, 87.9% to 100.0%) for clinician- and self-collected vaginal swab specimens, respectively; 97.0% (95% CI, 91.5% to 99.0%) for endocervical swabs; and 96.6% (95% CI, 90.6% to 98.8%) for cervical samples in PreservCyt; the specificity for all female sample types was >99.0%. The sensitivity and specificity of Cobas for detecting N. gonorrhoeae in male urine were 100.0% (95% CI, 95.8% to 100.0%) and 99.5% (95% CI, 98.8% to 99.8%), respectively. Fully automated assays help fill the clinical need for a sensitive, high-throughput screening tool to aid public health efforts to control C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infections.
