1 Comparison of FIT performance in screening programs

2 Possible conflicts of interest None related to the presentation

3 Background Several FIT kits are now available Various FIT brands use a variety of sampling techniques and they report faecal Hb concentration in different units. It was proposed to standardize quantitative FIT results, to allow direct comparisons of tests performance using the same standardised cut-off. Fraser C et. Al. JNCI 2012 We need comparative data to orient the choice of the kit to be used in population based programmes, as well as to set criteria to inform tendering procedures. Comparative information are however limited.

4 Aims Systematic review of comparative studies of FIT performance, conducted in the context of population based CRC screening programs,

5 Research question Average risk subjects aged 50 to 74, screened within population based screening programs (including pilot studies) Comparative studies of FIT versus gfob other FIT same FIT, different positivity cut-off Experimental studies (RCT parallel arms; paired design) Outcomes: positivity rate (PR); positive predictive value (PPV) and detection rate (DR) of advanced adenomas and CRC.

6 Methods Literature search and selection of studies meeting the inclusion criteria Data extraction to calculate the indicators Within-test (OC Sensor) analysis of factors influencing test performance Comparison of tests performance using normalized cut-off - µg/g faeces (between tests analysis)

10 Comparing different tests Comparative studies of different FIT brands have been generally focused on the determination of the optimal cutoff value. Recent reports have however suggested that different quantitative FIT brands may perform differently even when using standardised cut-off values. Performance tends to become more similar when considering the same positivity rate (Chiang et al. 2014; Grobbee et al. 2016; Passamonti et al. 2017) Comparing tests performance at the same positivity rate provides crucial information to program planning: PR directly reflects the required colonoscopy capacity/workload Combining PR and PPV we can also derive an estimate of the expected DR for a similar number of endoscopies,

17 Limitations Limited number of studies for some tests Innovation is changing the picture Classification of advanced adenomas as well as of screening history was not homogeneous across studies

18 Conclusions 1 - reporting Ideal study design should ensure to get information about comparative performance by gender, age and screening history Need to standardize definitions of - advanced adenomas - screening history using the number of tests instead of the number of rounds. Colonoscopy rates should be reported Modified from Moss S. et al. 2016

19 Conclusions 2 choosing the outcome Comparisons of PPV at pre-specified positivity rates. As long as colonoscopy capacity is often the main determinant of the sustainability of a population based screening program, information about PR and PPV are crucial when implementing a program, or when considering changing the test, to favor an efficient utilization of limited endoscopy resources. Our analysis confirms the findings from previous reports showing that test performances may still be different when using the same standardised cut-off

20 Conclusions - 3 Do we need to adopt a different approach to standardize the reporting of the results of measurements of fecal hemoglobin concentration? It has been recently suggested to use mass of hemoglobin per volume of feces and not mass of hemoglobin per mass of feces: micrograms hemoglobin per milliliter of feces (µg Hb/mL feces) (Fraser C et al. JNCI 2016)
