    Research Summary

    In this study blood samples collected as part of the OlympiA clinical trial (D081CC00006), will be extracted, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysed at Almac Diagnostic Services laboratory in Craigavon, United Kingdom using an investigational in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device and results will be compared with historical reference results.
    This study is being undertaken to generate clinical performance data for companion diagnostic (CDx) development in accordance with the EU IVD Regulation 2017/746, and, to provide data to demonstrate the product is safe and effective for its intended use. The data obtained will be used in the application for CE certification of the device as a CDx.
    Clinical performance will be evaluated using clinical efficacy analysis, primarily IDFS endpoint analysis, for the OlympiA study subpopulation defined as Amoy gBRCAm.
    The research performed by Almac is limited to acting as a study site responsible for conducting the study including sample receiving, processing and storage, DNA extraction, testing using the investigational device, test result generation, data storage and transfer, and Research ethical committee approval submission (REC).

    Summary of Results

    In this study, leftover blood samples collected as part of a previous clinical trial were analysed using an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device and results compared to other diagnostic tests (reference results). The research performed was limited to acting as a study site responsible for conducting the study, including sample receipt, processing, and storage prior to DNA extraction, testing using the BRCA Plus Panel, test result generation, data storage and transfer. Subject recruitment and tissue collection were outside the scope of the study. The data obtained is intended to be used in the registration of the device as a Companion Diagnostic in the EU. In total, 1521 samples were processed and analysed.
