  1. NAT Proficiency Study Programin Japan Saeko Mizusawa, Yoshiaki Okada National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan SoGAT XXI In Brussels, Belgium 28-29 May 2009

  2. Background National Standards for NAT Calibrated against WHO IS • HCV(1999 ), HBV(2002 ), HIV(2002) Guideline for Industry on NAT 2004 • HCV, HBV, HIV • Validated method with 100 IU/ml (95%DL) Guideline for Look Back Study 2005 • HCV: core antigen • HBV: NAT • HIV: antibody

  3. Objectives To assess the proficiency and sensitivity of the validated routine NAT implemented in plasma pool and blood screening. To assess the performance of diagnostic HBV-NAT to test recipients according to Look-back guideline. To chose the suitable HBV-NAT kits if necessary.

  4. Materials and Methods Panels :Prepared by NIID by diluting the respective national Standard. Each panel consists of 8 coded samples, 7 positive and one negative samples. Assay:Three independent assays on different days with validated routine NAT methods Data :Reported ”positive or negative” for qualitative assays and “concentration” for quantitative assays.The presented data were analyzed by NIID.

  5. The 1st NAT Control Surveillance 2006HBV-NAT: Participants

  6. NAT Control Surveillance 2006HBV-NAT: Methods

  7. HBV-NAT Control Surveillance 2006(1) Assays Required by NAT-Guideline

  8. Diagnostic Kit A: • Quantitative assay • Used by all the 7 diagnostic labs. • No false-positive results were observed. • Samples containing 100 IU/ml of HBV-DNA or higher were able to measur in 100%. n=24 • Diagnostic Kit B: • Quantitative assay • Used by major 3 diagnostic labs. • No false-positive results were observed. • Samples containing 10000 IU/ml were able to measur in 100%, 3000 IU/ml were able to measur in 92%, 300 IU/ml or less were not measured. HBV-NAT Control Surveillance 2006(2) Assays Recommended by Guideline for Look-back Study

  9. The 2nd NAT Control Surveillance 2007HCV-NAT & HIV-NAT: Participants

  10. HCV-NAT Control Surveillance 2007Methods (Qualitative)

  11. HCV-NAT Control Surveillance 2007 45/45 44/45

  12. HIV-NAT Assay Methods

  13. HIV-NAT Control Surveillance2007 44/45 37/45

  14. Summary (1)  NAT for Plasma Pool and Blood Screening • All the samples containing 1000 IU/ml virus or more were detectable: HBV in 60/60, HCV in 45/45, HIV in 45/45.No false positive results were observed. • Samples containing 300 IU/ml, which is three times the 95%DL , were positive for HBV in 60/60 (100%), for HCV in 45/45 (100%), for HIV in 44/45 (98%). The laboratory which failed to detect 1/3 of 300 IU/ml of HIV samples was able to detect 100 IU/ml in 2/3. • Samples containing 100 IU/ml (95%DL) were positive for HBV in 60/60 (100%), for HCV in 44/45 (98%), for HIV in 37/45 (82%). • Overall, the qualities of NAT, proficiency and the sensitivity , were satisfactory .

  15. Summary (2)  NAT for Look-back Study • Two quantitative HBV-DNA kits were available (Kit A and B).No false positive results were observed in both kit A and kit B. • Kit A was able to measure all the positive samples (10 – 10000 IU/ml) while kit B was able to measure samples containing 3000 IU/ml or more.

  16. Summary (3)   • NAT control surveillance should be continued: • To reflect the results on regulations. • To improve the performance of participants • To confirm that routine NAT is able to detect all the genotypes/subtypes. • To assess performance of newly developed assay systems.
