1 POET REPORT Perspectives on Emerging Technology Testing for High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (hrhpv) DNA in the Management of Cervical Cancer October, 2010 Developed by the CAP s Technology Assessment Committee College of American Pathologists 325 Waukegan Rd. Northfield, IL Tel: Version no. 1

2 Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing CAP Page 2 THE PATHOLOGIST S MESSAGE High-risk human papillomavirus (hrhpv) DNA testing is a mainstay component of cervical cancer screening and a cost-effective management tool for equivocal cervical cytology results. The presence of hrhpv DNA is a necessary agent for the development of cervical cancer. Infection with hrhpv is common and, in the vast majority of cases, is self-limited clearing within 2 years. 1 In a small percentage of cases, the infection becomes persistent and oncogenic portions of the hrhpv genome can interact with host cells in ways that lead to genetic and cell regulatory changes. These events may, in turn, lead to carcinogenesis. Therefore, identification of hrhpv DNA is important in the context of screening and triage. Currently the use of hrhpv testing is FDA-approved in the following three scenarios: (1) Triage of patients having equivocal (ASC-US) Pap tests; (2) Use in conjunction with the Pap test in primary screening for women over the age of 30 years; (3) Use of HPV 16/18 testing for triage in women in the second scenario above who have positive hrhpv and negative Pap tests. Additional consensus management guidelines also include hrhpv testing for post-colposcopy and post-treatment management of patients, including those with histologic cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), and for the triage of postmenopausal women with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) on cytology. Because of the high volume of tests performed and the significance of the results for cancer risk and high cost interventions, well-validated tests with known operating characteristics are vital to maintain the robust nature of the tests prediction of risk. The FDA has approved three tests for hrhpv DNA detection. FDAapproval indicates that the performance characteristics of these tests are well validated and, therefore, predictive for the indications of excluding risk of high-grade cervical dysplasia or carcinoma (screening), and the triage of equivocal cervical cytology tests. Qiagen Hybrid Capture 2 assay 2 : approved for use with Hologic ThinPrep Pap Test media (PreservCyt) and with Qiagen Standard Transport Media. It detects 13 of the most prevalent hrhpv types. Hologic/Third Wave Cervista HR assay 3 : approved for use with the Hologic ThinPrep Pap Test (PreservCyt). It detects 14 of the most prevalent HPV types and has a cellular control incorporated in the procedure to insure that the specimen is adequate. Hologic/ThirdWave Cervista HPV 16/18 assay 4 : approved by the FDA and detects only hrhpv types 16 and 18, the two most prevalent HPV types in cervical cancers. Use of these tests with other types of transport media requires self-validation as per the regulations of CLIA 88. Other methods of testing such as polymerase chain or in situ hybridization assays have been developed for the detection of hrhpv, however at the time of this POET; none of these methodologies has been approved by the FDA and as such require self-validation as per CLIA 88. At the present time, there are no clinical indications for the use of kits for low risk HPV DNA detection and testing for this analyte is strongly discouraged. 5 hrhpv testing is not currently recommended for use as a single test in primary screening for cervical cancer, however, studies have suggested that due to its high Copyright College of American Pathologists.

3 Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing CAP Page 3 sensitivity for cervical cancer and its precursor lesions, hrhpv testing may be an effective first step. 6,7,8 hrhpv s lack of specificity for cancer and high grade lesions is a limiting characteristic; any use of hrhpv alone in a primary screening scenario would require a more specific secondary triage method for hrhpv positive cases (e.g., Pap tests or other markers of high grade disease to be discussed in a future POET) CLINICAL CONTEXT High risk types of human papillomavirus have been shown to be associated with virtually all forms of cervical cancer and their precursor lesions. As such, testing for the presence of high risk HPV DNA has become an important tool in cervical cancer screening. Currently available hrhpv DNA detection systems have been FDA-approved for use in 3 clinical applications: 1. Triage of patients having equivocal (ASC-US) Pap tests reflex hrhpv testing. 9 In this context, patients having ASC-US interpretations can receive a hrhpv test. A positive hrhpv result would triage the patient to colposcopic examination whereas a negative result would triage a patient back to annual Pap screening. Data from the National Cancer Institute s ASC-US/Low Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion Triage Study (ALTS) show that use of this triage method identified as many patients having cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 and higher (CIN2+) lesions as direct referral to colposcopic examination, with overall referral of about half the number of patients. In this study, when compared to cytologic followup only, use of hrhpv testing identified more CIN2+ lesions with no need for repeat cytology specimens requiring costly followup office visits. 10 HPV testing should not be performed in women less than 21 years of age with ASC-US on the Pap test Use in conjunction with the Pap test in women over the age of 30 years. 9 In this context, a negative Pap in conjunction with a negative hrhpv test has a nearly perfect (100%) negative predictive value for the presence of CIN2+. In women having negative results in both of these tests, the very low risk of the presence of a neoplastic process allows the screening interval to be safely increased to 3 years. In women having a negative Pap test with a positive hrhpv test, the followup recommendation is to rescreen with both tests at 12 months. If the Pap test is negative, but the hrhpv test remains positive at 12 months, the patient should be sent for colposcopic examination at that point.

4 Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing CAP Page 4 3. The use of specific testing for hrhpv types 16 and 18 (distinct from the pooled tests for the 13 or 14 of the most prevalent hrhpv types) 11 In this context, testing for hrhpv types 16 and 18 has been FDA-approved for adjunctive use only at the time of this POET. Adjunctive use indicates that the test should only be used in addition to the hrhpv tests approved for the 2 clinical indications noted above. The American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) has issued a recommendation for the use of specific type 16/18 testing only in the circumstance of screening using Pap and hrhpv testing in the over 30 years of age population. 7 In this circumstance, women having a positive test for hrhpv in addition to a negative Pap test could be triaged to immediate colposcopy if the 16/18 test were positive and triaged to 12 month repeats of both tests if the 16/18 test were negative. At present, there is no recommendation for triage using the 16/18 test alone in women having ASC-US Pap tests. Approximately 25% of women who are positive for hrhpv in the circumstance of an ASC-US Pap test were found to be positive for hrhpv types 16 and Those ASC-US patients who were found to be HPV types 16/18 positive had a 40% cumulative risk or CIN2+, while those found to be 16/18 negative still had a 20% cumulative risk of CIN2+. Hence, although some risk stratification was possible, the rate in the 16/18 negative group was still substantial, warranting immediate referral to colposcopy. Some studies have suggested that long term follow-up of patients having HPV 16/18 positive tests versus all other hrhpv positive tests might be useful, as these patients appear to be at significantly higher risk for the development of CIN3+ lesions and hence risk stratification may be clinically useful at this level. 13 At the present time, confirmatory studies will need to be performed to determine if this holds true. In addition to FDA-approved indications, recent consensus management guidelines (American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP)) have indicated that hrhpv testing can also be used as part of the post-colposcopic management of histologic diagnoses of CIN 1/2/3 and endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ. In addition, hrhpv testing can be used to triage postmenopausal women having LSIL cytology results. ASCCP consensus management guidelines stipulate that hrhpv testing should not be performed in women under the age of 21 years and, in general, should not be performed on any patient more than once per calendar year. 9,14 Non-FDA approved off-label methods for hrhpv DNA detection are commonly used in laboratories, and are acceptable under CLIA 88 assuming appropriate self-validation studies are performed. Such off-label use most commonly consists of approved methods (Qiagen or Hologic) used with different non-fda approved transport medias ( e.g., BD SurePath). 15,16 In addition, non-fda approved methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization have been used for high risk HPV DNA detection. Because of the high volume of hrhpv testing performed and the implications for clinical management of patients based on the results, guidelines for validations have recently been published and include both analytic and clinical components. 1

5 Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing CAP Page 5 These guidelines include the following: Capable of detecting the 13 most common high risk HPV types Clinical specificity of at least 85% - adequate PPV for CIN 3+ Clinical sensitivity of 92% +/- 3% for CIN 3+ Sensitivity data is available for peer review Interlaboratory reproducibility kappa > 0.7 Determination of specimen adequacy TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW FDA APPROVED METHODS Qiagen Hybrid Capture 2: This method is FDA approved for use with Qiagen Standard Transport Media (STM) and the ThinPrep Pap Test (Hologic). Published self-validation studies have shown similar utility with BD SurePath media. 15,16 The method uses whole genomic RNA probe cocktail directed toward 13 hr HPV types (16/18/31/33/35/39/45/ 51/52/56/58/59/68). Probes are reacted with denatured sample DNA, which form complementary DNA-RNA hybrids when hrhpv types are present. The hybrids are stabilized on the walls of the testing vial or plate by antibodies directed against hybrids. Once stabilized the hybrids are identified via additional anti-hybrid antibodies which are labeled with alkaline phosphatase. Multiple alkaline phosphatase molecules are present on each antibody and multiple antibodies attach to each hybrid leading to substantial final signal amplification. A positive specimen is detected by a chemiluminescent reaction caused when a substrate molecule is cleaved by the alkaline phosphatase. The intensity of the light emitted is measured as relative light units (RLU) which is compared to known negative and positive controls in each specimen run. A cutoff value is obtained from these control specimens which determines the positive and negative results for clinical samples. The RLU level is proportional to the amount of hybrid (and hence the amount of hrhpv DNA in the tested sample), however the assay is only semiquantitative as there is no control for the number of cells present in the sample. (e.g., high signal may denote large numbers of cells containing low copy numbers of hrhpv DNA or low numbers of cells containing high copy numbers of hrhpv DNA).

6 Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing CAP Page 6 Automation procedures are available for the Hybrid Capture 2 assay (Rapid Capture) that may allow for significant improvement in laboratory productivity. This method is well-validated, both analytically and clinically, based on the results of the ALTS and FDA approval. Limitations of the test include issues of cross reactivity with some non-hrhpv types (types 6 and 13), which may account for small numbers of false-positive results. In addition, the test does not account for low- or non-cellular samples which may yield false-negative results, because no probe recognizing normal cellular components is included with the assay. Hologic/Third Wave Cervista HPV HR and Cervista HPV 16/18: These 2 tests utilize the same method and are FDA approved for use only with the ThinPrep Pap Test PreservCyt Solution (Hologic). There have been a number of studies evaluating the use of Third Wave Cervista in BD SurePath samples and results have shown comparability with FDA-approved methods; however, as per the regulations of CLIA 88, use of non-fda approved methods require in-house validation studies. 18,19 The Third Wave Cervista HPV assay is a qualitative test for the detection of 14 hrhpv types (16/18/31/33/35/39/45/51/52/ 56/58/59/66/68). The test uses the Invader chemistry technology, which is a 2 stage signal amplification method. In the first stage specific probe oligonucleotides directed toward hrhpv DNA sequences and Invader oligonucleotides are reacted with the target mixture. When these oligonucleotides overlap by at least one base pair at the target sequence, an invasive structure forms that acts as a substrate for a proprietary enzyme (Cleavase). This enzyme cleaves the 5 portion (flap) of the probe at the position of the overlap. The oligonucleotide probes are in large excess in the mixture and continually cycle on and off the target sequence such that many cleaved 5 flaps are generated at each target sequence the basis of the amplification. In the second stage, the cleaved flaps bind to a universal hairpin fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) oligonucleotide creating another invasive structure that the Cleavase enzyme recognizes as a substrate. This enzyme cleaves the FRET oligonucleotides between the fluorophore and quencher molecule and produces a fluorescence signal as the cleaved flaps cycle on and off. For each copy of the HPV DNA target, the combined primary and secondary reactions result in fold signal amplification per hour. In addition, an oligonucleotide probe directed toward human histone 2 gene is included in the mix, serving as an internal control. Reaction of this probe with complementary cellular DNA is detected simultaneously using a different flap sequence and different FRET oligonucleotide, each with a different fluorophore. Positive reactions for each of the analytes are determined by levels of fluorescence above an empirically derived cut-off value. The control probe (human histone 2) guards against negative HPV results being caused by inadequate numbers of cells in the sample and as an overall quality control check on the testing procedure. The Cervista HPV 16/18 assay uses identical technology but contains probes only directed at HPV types 16 and 18. Automation

7 Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing CAP Page 7 procedures are available for the Cervista assays that may allow for significant improvement in laboratory productivity. FDA trials of the Cervista assay showed 92.8 and 100% sensitivity for the detection of colposcopically confirmed CIN 2+ and CIN 3+, respectively. When compared to the data derived from ALTS, the results of the trial were comparable. Reproducibility studies showed 99% agreement for positive tests and 100% agreement for negative tests. No cross reactivity for the most common low risk HPV types (6/11) was identified in analytic studies. Post-approval studies have shown high sensitivities for CIN 2+ detection in the ASC-US triage testing application and direct comparisons with Hybrid Capture 2 have shown good concordance and fewer false positive results, with a slight majority of discordant cases being verified by sequencing as correct in the Third Wave method. 20,21,22 Non-FDA Approved Methods Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): Identification of HPV DNA by polymerase chain-based assays has been in widespread use for many years. Many assays have been laboratory-developed tests and a number of tests are commercially available. The Roche Amplicor method is one widely used commercial product for PCR detection of HPV. This assay detects the 13 most common high risk HPV types and extension of the procedure with the Roche Linear Array Genotyping kit allows for specific typing of the HPV once it is found to be present. Although not FDA approved at present, PCR detection of HPV has been used as a gold-standard for the presence of HPV in numerous studies and clinical trials, including ALTS. Interestingly when compared directly to Hybrid Capture 2 in ALTS, PCR was found to be slightly less sensitive for detection of clinical disease; 23 however numerous additional studies have shown PCR clinical sensitivity to be comparable for use in screening tasks In addition, specific typing of hrhpv provides utility in the identification of simultaneous infection by multiple HPV types and investigation of persistent hrhpv infections to determine if the same hrhpv types are implicated. In Situ Hybridization (ISH): ISH refers to direct visualization on tissues or cells of a hybridization reaction between nucleotide probes and target DNA. ISH for HPV has been in wide use as a research tool for many years. The only commercial assay developed is the Ventana INFORM HPV. Use of this assay has not been shown to be sensitive enough for routine use in clinical situations of ASC-US triage or primary screening. 20,28 Its potential advantage however, is higher specificity for high grade lesions and the ability to directly identify signal and its association with cells/tissues of interest under the microscope. Some investigators have advocated ISH for HPV in circumstances of equivocal morphology for high grade dysplasia in biopsy specimens.

8 Human Papillomavirus DNA Testing CAP Page 8 IMPACT ON CURRENT PATHOLOGY PRACTICE The use of hrhpv testing has become routine in most cervical cancer screening programs at present. Its use in triage of ASC-US cases to colposcopic examination or followup is the primary application, and its use as an adjunct to the Pap test in screening the over 30 years of age population is growing. Use of HPV 16/18 typing has not become a mainstream procedure at present, although its use may increase over time as refinements to clinical triage algorithms mature. ACCELERATION/DECELERATION TRIGGERS TO ADOPTION Although hrhpv testing is not currently approved for use as the primary cervical cancer screening test, there have been a number of studies that suggest that hrhpv testing may be more sensitive than the Pap test for the detection of high grade cervical disease and hence might be a more attractive first screen, followed by the Pap (or other more specific) test in positive cases. 30 If ultimately found to be a cost-effective method of cervical cancer screening, HPV testing would balloon in use, to the detriment of Pap testing. In addition, other markers (cell cycle related, gene amplifications) have the potential to provide sensitive and specific information about the potential for the presence or risk of development of a high grade dysplasia or carcinoma. Such markers have the potential to serve as either primary screening probes or as downstream triage mechanisms following either positive hrhpv or Pap tests. (These new markers will be the topic of a future POET analysis.) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The TAC would like to thank Teresa Darragh, MD, FCAP for critical review and suggestions for the paper.
