Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Clinical Performance Study SP2024001, is a prospective, interventional study to assess the clinical performance of the APOL1 Genotyping Clinical Trial Assay (CTA) in the intended use population and environment. The study will use the APOL1 Genotyping CTA to test deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from blood specimens to identify individuals who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) high-risk genotypes (G1 and G2).The individuals who are identified as being homozygous or compound heterozygous for the APOL1 high-risk genotypes are candidates for enrolment onto an pharmaceutical company-sponsored, Phase 2b clinical trial which is investigating the safety and efficacy of a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for the treatment of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD).

The study will use the APOL1 Genotyping CTA to test deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from blood specimens to identify individuals who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) high-risk genotypes (G1 and G2). The individuals who are identified as being homozygous or compound heterozygous for the APOL1 high-risk genotypes are candidates for enrolment onto an pharmaceutical company-sponsored, Phase 2b clinical trial which is investigating the safety and efficacy of a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for the treatment of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). I.e. The APOL1 Genotyping CTA being used interventionally as it is determining eligibility onto a trial, however not used to determine stratification into clinical trial cohorts.
Primary Study Purpose

SCREENING

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Almac Diagnostic Services receives de-identified specimens only for inclusion in the clinical performance study. The clinical trial protocol describes the blinding and un-blinding procedures for the clinical trial and this responsibility lies with the pharmaceutical clinical trial sponsor.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

APOL1 Genotyping

All study participants will submit a blood specimen for APOL1 Genotyping CTA screening. The APOL1 Genotyping CTA will identify individuals who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) high-risk genotypes (G1 and G2). The individuals who are identified as being homozygous or compound heterozygous for the APOL1 high-risk genotypes are candidates for enrolment onto an pharmaceutical company-sponsored, Phase 2b clinical trial which is investigating the safety and efficacy of a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for the treatment of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Study participant has agreed to and signed the clinical trial Informed Consent Form (inclusive of risks related to the APOL1 Genotyping CTA).
* The study participant's specimen must be distributed to the device test site accompanied by a complete Test Request Form signed by the appropriate clinical trial site personnel.
* All participant specimens must meet predetermined specifications (e.g., undamaged, appropriate volume, appropriate specimen type, appropriate disease indication) for acceptance for testing by the device test site in accordance with established procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

* The study participant has not agreed to and signed the (Clinical Trial) Informed Consent Form.
* The study participant's specimen is distributed to the device test site without a complete Test Request Form.
* The study participant's specimen did not meet predetermined specifications for acceptance for testing by the device test site in accordance with established procedures.
