2 Syphilis incidence has increased in the United States since 2000 (1, 2) and remains a global public health concern (3, 4). A tiered serology-based testing approach, historically starting with non-treponemal testing, is recommended by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (5). To increase throughput and improve sensitivity for latent syphilis, laboratories are switching to a testing algorithm that starts with an FDA cleared automated treponemal-specific chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) followed by confirmation with a non-treponemal test and/or a different treponemal specific test (6-11). In this study, we compared the recently FDA-cleared Architect Syphilis TP (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) CLIA to the Liaison Treponema Assay (DiaSorin, Stillwater, MN) CLIA by testing 1,028 consecutive sera submitted for syphilis screening to the UNCH Clinical Immunology Laboratory. Serum was stored for no longer than 3 months at 80 0 C. All specimens were remnant specimens from UNCH patients over the age of 18 and approval was obtained from the University of North Carolina Institutional Review Board. Initial screening identified 976 nonreactive and 47 reactive specimens concordant by both methods (Table 1). Of the five discordant specimens, four were Architect reactive and Liaison nonreactive while one specimen was Liaison reactive and Architect nonreactive, providing positive, negative, and total percent agreements of 97.9%, 99.6%, and 99.5%, respectively (K = 0.947, 95% CI to 0.993). 2
3 Comparing each assay s screening results to reverse algorithm verified positives (Supplemental Materials and Methods), the Architect Syphilis TP identified 45 of 45 verified positives, while five specimens were Architect reactive, ASI RPR (Arlington Scientific Inc., Springville UT) nonreactive, and Serodia TP-PA (Fujirebio Inc., Malvern, PA) nonreactive for a false positive rate of 0.5% (Fig. 1). No verified positive specimens were missed by the Architect, providing a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of 100% (95% CI 92.1 to 100%), 99.5% (95% CI 98.8 to 99.8%), 90.0% (95% CI 78.2 to 96.7%), and 100.0% (95% CI 99.6 to 100.0%), respectively (Table 2). The Liaison Treponema Assay also identified 45 of 45 verified positives, while two specimens were positive by the Liaison, but RPR and TP- PA nonreactive for a false positive rate of 0.2% (Fig. 1). The Liaison also had no false negative specimens for a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 100.0% (95% CI 92.1 to 100.0%), 99.8 % (95% CI 99.3 to 100.0%), 95.7% (95% CI 85.5 to 99.5%), and 100.0% (95% 99.6 to 100.0%), respectively (Table 2). One specimen was falsely positive on both the Architect and Liaison, while an additional specimen positive using both assays was RPR nonreactive but TP-PA indeterminate (Table 3). The inter- and intra-assay precision of both assays was comparable, with the CVs of all RX specimens being equal to or less than 3.5% (Suppl. Table 1). Considering the reverse testing algorithm involves one additional test compared to the traditional algorithm, strategies to identify potential false positives and reduce unnecessary tests have been employed by using chemiluminescent signal strengths to set a cut-off for confirmatory testing (12-14). Optimal Architect signal to cut-off (S/CO) 3
4 and Liaison index values used to predict TP-PA confirmatory testing results were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A S/CO value that provided 100% specificity was determined for the Architect Syphilis TP, as all specimens with a S/CO value greater than 6.0 (40/40; p = ) were confirmed by TP-PA testing (Fig. 2A). For the Liaison Treponema Assay, an index value greater than 3.0 provided 100% specificity as all specimens testing higher than 3.0 (45/45) were confirmed by TP-PA testing (Fig. 2B, p = 0.005). Adopting a testing approach where subsequent testing is based off of CLIA signal strengths could significantly reduce costs for a laboratory (13), however, a larger sample size which includes more CLIA reactive but RPR and TP-PA nonreactive specimens will be needed to determine reliable S/CO and Index values to use clinically. Similar studies performed outside the United States have evaluated the Architect Syphilis TP, with reported sensitivities of % and specificities of %, depending on patient population (15, 16). In conclusion, the Architect Syphilis TP exhibited similarly high sensitivity and specificity compared to the Liaison Treponema Assay and is suitable as a syphilis screening assay in a clinical laboratory setting. 4
