Trial Outcomes & Findings for Validation of Diagnostics to Identify Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity in the US (NCT NCT04010695)

NCT ID: NCT04010695

Last Updated: 2022-05-10

Results Overview

For the purposes of this study, an individual was considered G6PD deficient if they tested positive in the Pointe Scientific assay. A true positive was defined as a participant with ≤ 30% of normal G6PD activity in circulating venous blood determined by the Pointe Scientific test. Diagnostic sensitivity of the SD Biosensor G6PD test is defined as the percentage of participants who tested positive for G6PD deficiency on the reference test who were identified by the test assay as positive, calculated as: Number of participants who were both test and true positive / (Number of participants who were test and true positive + Number of participants who were test negative but true positive \[ie false negative\]) \* 100%. Sensitivity of the SD Biosensor POC G6PD test was calculated from both venous and capillary blood samples.

Participant Flow

This study was conducted at the Seattle Malaria Clinical Trials Center (MCTC), based at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington. Participants were recruited from the greater Seattle area, and and targeted populations with expected high prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity (G6PD) deficiency, including Southeast Asian populations and African-American populations.

G6PD Diagnostic Testing
Participants provided whole blood samples as well as finger-stick capillary blood samples. At the clinic site lab, study staff performed the Standard Diagnostics (SD) Biosensor point-of-care (POC) G6PD test assay and the POC HemoCue hemoglobin test on both finger-stick blood and whole blood samples. At the reference laboratory, G6PD activity was measured from whole blood samples using the Pointe Scientific G6PD reference assay and hemoglobin was measured using a hematology analyzer.

Timeframe: All samples were collected on study day 1

Population: Females in the final analytic population with available data

To investigate the performance of the SD Biosensor G6PD test to distinguish females with intermediate G6PD activity from females with normal activity, assay sensitivity was determined at a G6PD activity threshold of 70%. A true positive for intermediate G6PD activity in females was defined as G6PD activity between 30 and 70% of normal in circulating venous blood as determined by the Pointe Scientific test. Sensitivity of the SD Biosensor POC G6PD test is the percentage of women who tested positive for intermediate G6PD activity on the reference test who were identified by the test assay as positive, calculated as: Number of women who were both test and true positive / (Number of women who were test and true positive + Number of women who were test negative but true positive \[ie false negative\]) \* 100%. Sensitivity of the SD Biosensor G6PD test for identifying females with intermediate G6PD activity was calculated from both venous and capillary blood samples.

Population: The final analytic population with available data

For the purposes of this study, an individual was considered G6PD deficient if they tested positive by the Pointe Scientific assay. A true negative was defined as \> 30% of normal G6PD activity in circulating venous blood as determined by the Pointe Scientific test. Specificity is the percentage of participants who tested negative for G6PD deficiency on the reference test who were identified as negative using the test assay, calculated as: Number of participants who were both test and true negative / (Number of participants who were test and true negative + Number of participants who were test positive but true negative \[ie false positive\]) \* 100%. Specificity of the SD Biosensor G6PD test was calculated from both venous and capillary blood samples.
