The xTAGTM RVP Assay (RVP) is a multiplexed nucleicacid based molecular test capable of detecting 20 viruses and subtypes simultaneously in a single patient sample. The assay protocol is discussed elsewhere in this supplement. The present article describes the analytical performance and selected clinical results of this assay. Design requirements for the xTAG RVP Assay were established in consultation with leading clinical and laboratory experts in the field. As part of the design validation process, preclinical testing of the xTAGTM RVP Assay was carried out internally by the Research and Product Development departments at Luminex Molecular Diagnostics. This was followed by an external set of preclinical studies leading up to a multi-centre clinical trial to achieve FDA clearance. Taken together, the preclinical and clinical results validate the performance of the assay against its stated design requirements. The clinical multi-site trial is still ongoing but close to completion. Therefore, the final data summaries of the clinical trial are not included in this article, with the exception of the CE marked and FDA submitted analytical data. However, an earlier external evaluation of the xTAGTM RVP Assay, using clinical samples, was published by Mahony et al.(2007). Of note is the fact that the data are derived from the same assay being evaluated in the FDA clinical trial, and the design of both studies is similar. Further performance data on the assay will be available by the time of publication of this supplement.
