4 Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) During certain circumstances: Under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the FDA Commissioner may allow use of unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by Chemical, Biological, Radiological, or Nuclear (CBRN) threat agents when there are no adequate, approved/cleared, and available alternatives. 4

5 Determination and Declaration Regarding Emergency Use of In- Vitro Diagnostic Tests for Detection of Zika Virus and/or Diagnosis of Zika Virus Infection 26 th February 2016 The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) is issuing this notice pursuant to section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3. On February 26, 2016, the Secretary determined that there is a significant potential for a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad and that involves Zika virus. On the basis of this determination, the Secretary also declared that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostic tests for detection of Zika virus and/or diagnosis of Zika virus infection pursuant to section 564 of the FD&C Act, subject to the terms of any authorization issued under that section. 5

6 Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) (cont. I) 6

7 Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) (cont. II) 21 U.S. Code 360bbb 3 - Authorization for medical products for use in emergencies (c)(2)(a) the product may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or preventing (c)(2)(b) the known and potential benefits of the product, when used to diagnose, prevent, or treat such disease or condition, outweigh the known and potential risks of the product (c)(3) that there is no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating such disease or condition 7

8 Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) (cont. III) 21 U.S. Code 360bbb 3 - Authorization for medical products for use in emergencies FDA determines the benefits and risks of each product for which an EUA is requested independently. Authorization is based on the totality of available scientific evidence. Performance criteria based on benefit/risk assessment for each EUA application during the outbreak or epidemic. Compliance with design and manufacturing control regulation may be waived. The letter of Authorization names conditions which must be met. (i.e., periodic reporting, patient fact sheet, and duration). 8

9 CDC MAC-ELISA (February 28) The CDC Zika MAC-ELISA is intended for the qualitative detection of Zika virus IgM antibodies in human sera or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that is submitted alongside a patient-matched serum specimen, collected from individuals meeting CDC Zika virus clinical criteria (e.g., a history of clinical signs and symptoms associated with Zika virus infection) and/or CDC Zika virus epidemiological criteria (e.g., recent history of travel to geographic regions during a period of active Zika virus transmissions at the time of travel, or other epidemiologic criteria for which Zika virus testing may be indicated as part of a public health response). The assay is intended for use in qualified laboratories designated by the CDC, as a part of a multi-test algorithm. Assay results are for the presumptive identification of IgM antibodies to Zika virus. Positive and equivocal results are not definitive for diagnosis of Zika virus infection. False positive results are possible in patients with a history of infection with other flaviviruses. Confirmation of the presence of anti-zika IgM antibodies in equivocal or presumptive positive specimens requires additional testing by CDC, *Negatives do not require follow up 9

10 CDC Trioplex RT-PCR (March 17) The Trioplex Real-time RT-PCR Assay (Trioplex rrt-pcr) is intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of RNA from Zika virus, dengue virus, and chikungunya virus in human sera or cerebrospinal fluid (collected alongside a patient-matched serum specimen), and for the qualitative detection of Zika virus RNA in urine and amniotic fluid (each collected alongside a patient-matched serum specimen). The assay is intended for use with specimens collected from individuals meeting CDC Zika virus clinical criteria (e.g., clinical signs and symptoms associated with Zika virus infection) and/or CDC Zika virus epidemiological criteria (e.g., history of residence in or travel to a geographic region with active Zika transmission at the time of travel, or other epidemiologic criteria for which Zika virus testing may be indicated as part of a public health investigation). Testing is limited to qualified laboratories designated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 10

11 Zika RT-PCR Focus Diagnostics (April 28) Zika Virus RNA Qualitative Real-Time RT-PCR test is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of RNA from Zika virus in human serum specimens collected from individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Zika virus clinical criteria (e.g., clinical signs and symptoms associated with Zika virus infection) and/or CDC Zika virus epidemiological criteria (e.g., history of residence in or travel to a geographic region with active Zika transmission at the time of travel, or other epidemiologic criteria for which Zika virus testing may be indicated). Testing is limited to qualified laboratories designated by Focus Diagnostics, Inc. Test results are for the identification of Zika viral RNA. Zika viral RNA is generally detectable in serum during the acute phase of infection (approximately 7 days following onset of symptoms, if present). Positive results are indicative of current infection. Laboratories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities. Negative results do not rule out Zika virus infection and should not be 11 used as the sole basis for patient management decisions
