  3. Major Points No observed incidence Observe low level reactivity False positivity Remote prior infections < 1% observed rate of transfusion transmissions Retesting policy adds no value Complex and resource intensive

  4. The Ortho T. cruzi EIA (Ab) is used for donor screening ARC and BSI implemented “universal testing” Jan 29, 2007 Repeat reactive (RR) donations are further tested using a laboratory-derived test (LDT) RIPA (Quest Diagnostics) RIPA-pos donors are considered confirmed whether at index, repeat of independent index sample or at donor follow-up Donors of RR donations are followed and tested by EIA/RIPA RIPA pos donors also tested by parasitologic tests Hemoculture (HC) and PCR RR donors are also asked to respond to a detailed survey regarding demographics and risk factors True pos “cases” and false pos “controls” Background

  5. Retest Algorithm for T. cruzi Ab RR (Ortho EIA) Donors Independent Index or Donor follow-up (F/U) samples PRISM added to algorithm following licensure (April 2010)

  6. Due to low rate of transfusion transmission identified by lookback, and donor risk being remote (22-mo experience), selective T. cruzi Ab testing implemented by all ARC and BSI regions except those included in the “Incidence Study” 8/10/09 ARC 4/1/10 BSI 1X nonreactive test result qualifies the donor for all future donations Regions having the highest prevalence in the Southwestern and South Central portion of the US (5-fold above “system”) remained on universal testing to represent “endemic travel” and “autochthonous” risk Assumption was that the highest prevalence sites would provide the greatest chance of observing donor incidence (if it were to occur) 3 ARC = S CA (Los Angeles; 006), OK/TX (049) and AR (055) Community Blood Centers of FL (S FL) Central Coast UBS (CA) Background

  7. Continue universal testing for 5 years to extend the timeframes for detection of incident infection in repeat donors in regions with presumed increased travel to endemic areas and those with the greatest likelihood of autochthonous infection 5 million person years (pys) total Donor observation period target a mean of 1.9 years (from first to last donation) Incident case = seroconverter Screen RR and RIPA pos with a prior donation having a low signal (S/CO < 0.5) and who has serologic progression on follow-up on EIA (S/CO > 2.0) while remaining RIPA pos; donor may be HC/PCR pos Incidence Study Protocol

  8. Accumulate ~ 5 million pys of observation in high prevalence areas We chose 4 as the number of incident donors that would be acceptable during a 5-year study as comparable to other TTD residual risks ~ 1 incident case per million pys The upper 95% CI for a value of 4 is ~ 10 Upper CI of 10 per 5 million pys translates to 2 per million pys Add 20% for risk in remainder of US (5-fold lower) Criterion established for study: upper limit of acceptable risk = 2.4 cases per million pys Incidence Study Outcome

  41. 2005 donor cohort (~2.7 million donors) followed from first to last donation 9-year donation data to model retest volume (~60 million donations) for a 2- or 5-year retest policy Impact of Retesting after 2 or 5 Years

  44. 41,773,568 Untested donations 15,850,682 1st Test donations 2,050,608 Retest donations

  45. Ongoing 1-time testing to qualify a donor for repeat donation is “safe” as evidenced by: Zero observed incidence in the 4-year “Incidence Study” 6 million plus pys of observation 4.22 million donors (mean obs time = 1.435 pys) Upper 95% confidence value (0.61/million pys) yielded risk of incidence lower than that of other current infectious diseases < 1% obs’d occurrence of transfusion transmission Risk greatest in donors with high S/CO values, consistently RIPA pos and PCR/HC pos Low frequency of donors identified during universal testing from ARC + CBCF with inconsistent reactivity who were not seroconverters 22/~19 million donations or 1/900,000 Biologic and analytic false positives, remote prior infection? Summary

  46. Retesting test-negative donors after 2 or 5 years adds no value relative to the low (no) risk of incidence and infrequent occurrence of transfusion transmission Implementation of such systems would be a burden to blood centers requiring significant resources Anywhere from 500,000 to 1 million additional tests per year for the ARC; 2x for the US Competes/may prevent the implementation of other other safety initiatives e.g., Babesia Summary

  47. A selective testing strategy based on qualifying a donor by a single negative donation has high sensitivity and has significantly reduced the amount of testing required without compromising recipient safety Conclusion
