Summary of Safety and EffectivenessK032554Summary of Technological Characteristics of the APTIMA Combo 2 AssayThe APTIMA Combo 2 Assay incorporates the technologies of target capture, in vitro nucleicacid amplification, and hybridization of target amplicons with acridinium ester-labeled DNAprobes to specifically detect and differentiate both C. trachornatisand N. gonorrhoeae nucleicacids in clinical specimens. GEN-PROBE's proprietary technologies are combined in thisproduct to allow qualitative detection of C. trachomatisrRNA and N. gonorrhoeaerRNA.Analytical SensitivityChlanmydia trachornatis analytical sensitivity (limits of detection) was determined by directlycomparing dilutions of C. trachomatisorganisms in cell culture and in the assay. The analyticalsensitivity claim for the assay is one Inclusion-Forming Unit (IFU) per assay (7.25 IFU/swab, 5IFU/mL urine) for all 15 C. trachomatis serovars. However, dilutions of less than oneIFU/assay of all serovars tested positive in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay.Neisseria gonorrhoeae analytical sensitivity was determined by directly comparing dilutions of57 different clinical isolates in culture and in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay. The analyticalsensitivity claim for the assay is 50 cells/assay (362 cells/swab, 250 cells/mL urine). However,all strains tested were positive at less than 50 cells/assay.Gen-Probe IncorporatedConfidential6

All were tested for potential assay interference in theabsence and presence of C. trachomatisand N. gonorrhoeae at the estimated rRNA equivalentof one C. trachomatisIFU/assay (5 fg/assay) and 50 N. gonorrhoeae cells/assay (250 fg/assay).The rRNA equivalents were calculated based on the genome size and estimated DNA:RNAratio/cell of each organism.Interfering Substances TestingSwabUrine10% Blood30% BloodContraceptive jellyUrine hoidal anestheticKetonesBody oilBilirubinPowderNitrateAnti-fungal creamUrobilinogenVaginal lubricantspH 4 (acidic)Feminine spraypH 9 (alkaline)Leukocytes (I x 106 cells/mL)Leukocytes (I x 106 cells/mL)Cellular nNo interference was observed with any of the tested substances.Gen-Probe IncorporatedConfidential9

Summary of Safety and EffectivenessK032554RecoveryLactobacillus acidophilus, Gardnerella vaginalis, Bacteroides ureolyticus and Staphylococcusepidermidis (1 x 108 cells/assay) were added to pooled negative vaginal swab samplescontaining the rRNA equivalent of approximately one C. trachomatis IFU (5 fg) and 50 N.gonorrhoeae cells (250 fg). These additions did not interfere with the amplification anddetection of C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae rRNA using the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay.Vaginal Swab Specimen Clinical Study ResultsIn thevaginalswab specimenmulti-center clinicalstudy,1,464 symptomaticandasymptomatic female subjects attending STD, OB/GYN, teen, and family planning clinics wereenrolled into the clinical study. Subjects were classified as symptomatic if symptoms such asdischarge, dysuria, and pelvic pain were reported by the subject. Subjects were classified asasymptomatic if the subject did not report symptoms. Of the 646 asymptomatic subjectsenrolled in the study, two were less than 16 years of age, 158 were between the ages of 16 and20, 231 were between the ages of 21 and 25, and 255 were greater than 25 years of age. Of the818 symptomatic subjects enrolled in the study, 160 were between the ages of 16 and 20, 324were between the ages of 21 and 25, and 334 were greater than 25 years of age.Five specimens were collected from each eligible subject; one urine specimen, one patientcollected vaginal swab, one clinician-collected vaginal swab, and two randomized endocervicalswabs. APTIMA Combo 2 Assay results were generated from the two vaginal swabs, one ofthe endocervical swabs, and an aliquot of the urine specimen. The second endocervical swaband a second aliquot of the urine specimen were tested using another commercially-availablenucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for C. trachomatis and another commercially-availableNAAT for N. gonorrhoeae. Endocervical swab and urine specimens tested in the APTIMACombo 2 Assay and the other commercially available NAATs were used as reference NAATsto determine infected status for each subject in the vaginal swab specimen clinical study.Gen-Probe IncorporatedConfidential10

Summary of Safety and EffectivenessK032554Specimen testing was conducted either at the site of subject enrollment or at an external testingsite.All performance calculations were based on the total number of APTIMA Combo 2 Assaypatient- and clinician-collected vaginal swab results compared to a patient infected statusalgorithm. A total of 2,868 C. trachomatis and 2,867 N. gonorrhoeae vaginal swab test resultswere used in the data analysis. In the algorithm, the designation of a subject as being infectedandor not infected with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae was based on endocervical swabtheurine specimen results from the commercially-available APTIMA Combo 2 Assay andorother commercially-available NAAT. Subjects were considered infected with C. trachomatistheN. gonorrhoeaeif two of the four endocervical swab and urine specimens tested positive ininAPTIMA Combo 2 Assay and the other reference NAAT (one specimen testing positiveeach NAAT). Subjects were considered non-infected if less than two reference NAAT resultsandwere positive. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the number of results from symptomaticN.asymptomatic subjects designated as infected or non-infected with C. trachomatis orgonorrhoeae, respectively, according to the patient infected status algorithm. For this clinicalstudy, two commercially available NAATs were used to determine GC-infected status. Culturewas not used as a reference test since the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay has already been evaluatedagainst culture for other specimen types (refer to K003395).areSensitivity and specificity for C. trachomatisby gender, specimen type and symptom statusandpresented in Table 3. Table 4 shows the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay sensitivity, specificity,sitepredictive values for C. trachomatis compared to patient infected status for each clinicaland overall.

Summary of Safety and EffectivenessK032554from those targeted in APTIMA Combo 2. The results of the alternate TMA assays were notused to change the original patient categorizations (Tables 3 and 5).Of the 1,464 subjects enrolled, there were 13 subjects with unknown CT patient infected statusand 14 subjects with unknown GC patient infected status. Subjects were designated with anunknown patient infected status if results were missing that prevented conclusive determinationof infected status. These subjects' results were not included in any performance calculations.Of the 5,782 APTIMA Combo 2 Assay vaginal swab results from the multi-center clinicalstudy, there was a small percentage (28, 0.5%) of vaginal swab specimens that initially testedinvalid or equivocal for CT or GC. Upon repeat testing only three C. trachomatis results andtwo N. gonorrhoeae results were equivocal and were excluded from the analysis. Nospecimens tested invalid on repeat testing.Gen-Probe IncorporatedConfidential12
