Line Probe Assay Evaluation Study
Sponsor: Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics, Switzerland
Summary
This is a multi-center, blinded study to determine the performance of the YD Diagnostic Corporation (YD) REBA MTB-MDR® and Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V2 kit in a total of 600 clinical isolates and 900 residual sputum samples from patients with symptoms of pulmonary TB (PTB) and at risk of drug resistance. All testing was done on stored, de-identified leftover samples. The study involved three World Health Organization (WHO) Supranational Reference Laboratories with well-characterized strain collections and access to sputum samples with significant rates of drug resistance.
Official title: Multi-center Study to Assess the Non-inferiority of YD REBA MTB-MDR® and Hain GenoType® MTBDRplus V2 Line Probe Assays Compared to Hain GenoType® MTBDRplus V1

YD REBA MTB-MDR
Conducted on stored, de-identified leftover samples. A line probe assay designed for detection of Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The REBA MTB-MDR® assay is a qualitative in vitro test for the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex and its susceptibility to rifampin and isoniazid from cultured samples and smear positive specimens.
Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V1
Conducted on stored, de-identified leftover samples. There is only one Line Probe Assay for molecular MTB drug resistance globally available, the GenoType® MTBDRplus V.1 from Hain Lifescience. This assay includes rpoB gene probes for Rifampin (RIF) resistance, katG gene probes for high level Isoniazid (INH) resistance, and inhA gene probes for determination of low level INH resistance
Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V2
Conducted on stored, de-identified leftover samples. An updated version of the Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V1 assay, the Genotype MTBDRplus V.2 line probe assay, showed increased sensitivity for MTB detection in the 2 studies published so far
