2 Shared Goals Ensure patient access to high quality testing Assure that tests being offered are analytically and clinically valid Leverage resources to maximize patient safety and enhance public health Encourage innovation and continued improvement of Laboratory-Developed Tests © 2012 College of American Pathologists.

7 Laboratory Developed Test A test developed within a CLIA-certified laboratory that is used in patient management and has both of the following characteristics: o The test is performed by the clinical laboratory in which the test was developed; and o The test is neither FDA-cleared nor FDA-approved © 2012 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved.7

8 CAP Approach Oversight of LDTs should be strengthened through a partnership between CMS, FDA and 3 rd Party Accreditors Analytic and clinical validation of these tests require oversight and continued monitoring Oversight should be stratified based on risk Our approach recommends targeted FDA review of only high-risk LDTs © 2012 College of American Pathologists.

9 The CAP Paradigm for LDTs… LDT #1 Low Risk Laboratory Validates & Places in Service. Accreditor Inspects. LDT #2 Mod Risk Laboratory Validates. Accreditor Reviews Before Test Placed in Service. LDT #3 High Risk Laboratory Validates. FDA Reviews Before Test Placed in Service. © 2012 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved.9

10 Risk Classification Principles ClassificationPrinciples Low Test result is typically used in conjunction with other clinical findings to establish or confirm diagnosis. No claim about test result alone determines prognosis or direction of therapy. Moderate Test result is typically used for diagnosis, predicting disease progression or identifying whether a patient is eligible for a specific therapy. Laboratory may make claims which determine prognosis or direction of therapy. High Test result predicts risk, progression of, or patient eligibility for a specific therapy; AND Test uses proprietary algorithms or computations such that the test result cannot be tied to the methods used, or inter-laboratory comparisons can not be performed. 10© 2012 College of American Pathologists.

11 CAP LDT Validation Principles The Proposal informed by evidence-based review and incorporates FDA and CLIA principles. o Ensures analytical and clinical validity and consistency of claims with intended use; o Least burdensome and achievable for laboratories − Field tested to validate principles © 2012 College of American Pathologists.

12 Elements of CAP LDT Validation Encompasses the development stage of an LDT and serves to establish a testing procedure and identify the intended use of the test. Defining the Disorder/Test/Clinical Scenario The test’s ability to accurately and reliably measure the analyte of interest in the clinical laboratory, and in specimens representative of the population of interest. Analytical Validity The ability of a test to diagnose or predict risk for a particular health condition, measured by clinical (or diagnostic) sensitivity, clinical (or diagnostic) specificity, and predictive values. Clinical Validity 12© 2012 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved.

13 Conclusion The CAP approach to oversight of LDTs will ensure patient access to high quality testing, preserving innovation while maximizing patient safety and enhancing public health. © 2012 College of American Pathologists. All rights reserved.13
