Study summary

Clinical Performance Study SP2024001, is a prospective, interventional study to assess the clinical performance of the APOL1 Genotyping Clinical Trial Assay (CTA) in the intended use population and environment. The study will use the APOL1 Genotyping CTA to test deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from blood specimens to identify individuals who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) high-risk genotypes (G1 and G2).The individuals who are identified as being homozygous or compound heterozygous for the APOL1 high-risk genotypes are candidates for enrolment onto an pharmaceutical company-sponsored, Phase 2b clinical trial which is investigating the safety and efficacy of a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for the treatment of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD).

Inclusion criteria

  • Study participants must be identified as a potential candidate for the pharmaceutical company- sponsored clinical trial by their physician based on the clinical trial inclusion criteria.
  • Study participant has agreed to and signed the clinical trial Informed Consent Form (inclusive of risks related to the APOL1 Genotyping CTA).
  • The study participant's specimen must be distributed to the device test site accompanied by a complete Test Request Form signed by the appropriate clinical trial site personnel.
  • All participant specimens must meet predetermined specifications (e.g., undamaged, appropriate volume, appropriate specimen type, appropriate disease indication) for acceptance for testing by the device test site in accordance with established procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Study participants will be excluded as a potential candidate for the pharmaceutical company -sponsored clinical trial by their physician based on the clinical trial exclusion criteria as assessed at screening visit 1.
  • The study participant has not agreed to and signed the (Clinical Trial) Informed Consent Form.
  • The study participant's specimen is distributed to the device test site without a complete Test Request Form.
  • The study participant's specimen did not meet predetermined specifications for acceptance for testing by the device test site in accordance with established procedures.

    APOL1 Genotyping

    All study participants will submit a blood specimen for APOL1 Genotyping CTA screening. The APOL1 Genotyping CTA will identify individuals who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) high-risk genotypes (G1 and G2). The individuals who are identified as being homozygous or compound heterozygous for the APOL1 high-risk genotypes are candidates for enrolment onto an pharmaceutical company-sponsored, Phase 2b clinical trial which is investigating the safety and efficacy of a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for the treatment of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of APOL1 genotype result within the study population (G1/G2/G0), for participants' specimens tested using the APOL1 Genotyping CTA

    To utilize the APOL1 Genotyping CTA as a screening test to identify participants homozygous or compound heterozygous for high risk APOL1 genotypes (G1/G2) for inclusion in a Ph 2b trial

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of specimens submitted for APOL1 Genotyping CTA testing which meet device turn-around time (TAT)

    To demonstrate with objective evidence how the APOL1 Genotyping CTA will be expected to perform in routine clinical practice

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  2. Percentage of specimens submitted for APOL1 Genotyping CTA testing which meet laboratory TAT

    To demonstrate with objective evidence how the APOL1 Genotyping CTA will be expected to perform in routine clinical practice

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  3. Percentage of specimens submitted for APOL1 Genotyping CTA testing for which the device 'test was not ordered accurately (TNOA)

    To demonstrate with objective evidence how the APOL1 Genotyping CTA will be expected to perform in routine clinical practice

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  4. Percentage 'Specimens Not Accepted (SNA)' by the clinical laboratory(ies) for APOL1 Genotyping CTA testing

    To demonstrate with objective evidence how the APOL1 Genotyping CTA will be expected to perform in routine clinical practice

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  5. Percentage of Quality Control Failures

    To demonstrate with objective evidence how the APOL1 Genotyping CTA will be expected to perform in routine clinical practice

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  6. Percentage of corrected reports

    To demonstrate with objective evidence how the APOL1 Genotyping CTA will be expected to perform in routine clinical practice

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  7. Percentage of updated reports

    To demonstrate with objective evidence how the APOL1 Genotyping CTA will be expected to perform in routine clinical practice

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  8. Percentage homozygous or compound heterozygous for APOL1 high risk genotypes within the study population

    To determine the expected homozygous/ compound heterozygous APOL1 high risk genotype prevalence

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

Other outcomes

  1. AE/SAE/ADE/UADE/SADE incident rate

    Identification of AEs/ SAEs/ADE/UADE/SADE or complications associated with the APOL1 Genotyping CTA (participant and operator) inclusive of root cause identification (e.g., Device deficiency)

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year
