Rationale for the Utility of a Rapid, Point-of-Care
(POC) Test to Aid in Identification of HCV Infection
Clear unmet need for increased diagnosis of Hepatitis C as
recognized by many Public Health entities including CDC.
Deployment of a rapid POC test will enable increased testing
for HCV, particularly in accessing those populations at greatest
risk.
HCV testing in many public health settings is limited due to the
requirement to draw blood for laboratory based testing.
As with HIV, POC testing for HCV will be particularly applicable
in settings  where the target population is transient, or where
return adherence for results is low.
Current and future improvements in therapy mean that
increased diagnosis will be a critical factor in reducing overall
morbidity and mortality.

Rationale for Developing High Throughput
Automated Assays with Oral Fluid
Market adoption of oral fluid testing is increasing
Microplate systems are more labor intensive than current
fully automated systems
Microplate systems do not perform random access testing,
but test in “batch”
mode
Medium and large sized reference labs all use automated
systems for urine testing
Offering oral fluid applications on fully automated systems
will combine the convenience of an oral fluid sample with
the increased efficiencies of full automation

Current
Status 
Product modifications to support longer shelf life have
already been implemented and verified
Proposed modifications do not require additional clinical 
trials
Currently conducting real-time validation/stability studies 
using GMP material
These studies utilize 3 production lots containing all
proposed modifications
Real-time stability testing to continue throughout the year
Just successfully passed 6 month time point
Target for shelf life is >12 months (dependent upon

Strategy for Shelf Life Extension
Shelf life extension will occur in unregulated
markets upon successful completion of stability
testing and process validation
Shelf life in US and EU will be extended after
approval of the appropriate regulatory
submissions.
Additional submissions will be made in certain
geographies where required
Our goal is to extend product shelf life in all
geographies in 2008

Regulatory Update for HIV OTC

Premarket approval is required (PMA)
The PMA will be reviewed by the Center for
Biologic Evaluation and Research (CBER).  We
expect the PMA will also be presented to an FDA
advisory panel for review and comment.

Clinical Study Considerations
In designing the proposed program, OraSure
gave special consideration to a number of topics:
All
protocols
must
be
able
to
demonstrate
that
the
product
meets
the
criteria defined at the March 10, 2006 BPAC meeting;
The population expected to use the OTC product;
Creation of easy to read and understand instructions for use;
User friendly packaging and presentation of the product;
3 Phased Approach to Clinical Studies
Label Comprehension and Reading Contrived Devices
Where the subject does not self test
Observed Use
Subject observed performing the test.
Unobserved Use
Subject performs tests in uncontrolled environment

Label Comprehension
Label Comprehension Study
Status -
completed
Performed after refining labeling and
instructions through pre-testing
Tests target population understanding of
the instruction materials
Subjects do not conduct a test with an
actual device

Reading Contrived Devices
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that
individuals from the target population are able to
accurately interpret various test result.
In this study, subjects selected from the target
population are given contrived devices to read and
interpret the results
The subjects in this study do not test themselves and
the devices  used are “dummy”
devices that are not
infectious.


44

2007 –
Confidential and Proprietary
Observed Use
The subjects will be selected according to the
demographics of the end users identified for this product.
Subjects will be given the test kit and provided with a
setting in which to take the test on their own.
Subjects will be observed ( through glass) while
performing the test and their test result will be compared
to the result from a trained professional.
This study is observed so that the actual use of the test
kit by a “consumer”
can be documented prior to allowing
subjects to take the kit in a setting of their choice.
Subjects will be interviewed about their experience with
the test after they have completed running and
interpreting their own test.


45

2007 –
Confidential and Proprietary
Unobserved Use
Subjects will be screened per the protocol and a sample
taken to determine their HIV status.
Subjects will be given the test kit and asked to take the
test and report back to the clinical study site within a
week.  (Subjects will provide contact information prior to
being given a test kit to leave the clinical site so that we
may conduct follow up.)
Subjects will report their HIV test results, which will be
compared to the professional determination of their
status.
Questions about their experience performing the test
will be asked during an interview conducted when they
return with their result.
