<h4>1 - What is fitness for purpose?&nbsp;</h4>The test meets the necessary performance criteria for a clinical binary examination to ensure it is suitable for making accurate and reliable clinical decisions in the intended patient population. Among others, performance criteria include clinical sensitivity and clinical specificity.&nbsp;<h4>2 - How to assess clinical performance?&nbsp;</h4>Assessing the clinical performance of a binary examination, stating results as 'positive' or 'negative,' involves calculating the examination's Clinical Sensitivity and Clinical Specificity. From the physician's point of view, clinical performance is evaluated by using predictive values, i.e., how likely is it that a positive or negative result corresponds to the presence or absence of the condition, which is also influenced by the prevalence of the condition in the population being tested.&nbsp;<h4>3 - What is Clinical Sensitivity?&nbsp;</h4>Clinical sensitivity (SS), also known as the True Positive Rate, measures the proportion of true positives correctly identified by the test. Data from a group of subjects who have been confirmed to have the disease or condition through diagnosis or a gold standard test (D1 in Table 1) are needed to calculate clinical sensitivity.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_Table_1_2x2_Contingency_table_for_clinical_diagnosis_241735a171.jpg" alt="Eurachem: Table 1. 2x2 Contingency table for clinical diagnosis." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_Table_1_2x2_Contingency_table_for_clinical_diagnosis_241735a171.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1401" height="461">The formula for clinical sensitivity is:&nbsp;SS = tp / (tp + fn), with:&nbsp;<ul><li>tp, True Positives are the cases where the test correctly identifies the presence of the disease.&nbsp;</li><li>fn, False Negatives are the cases where the test incorrectly identifies the absence of the disease when it is actually present.&nbsp;</li></ul>Table 1 represents the components of clinical sensitivity and specificity. Figure 1 illustrates an example of the overlapping of the number of components. The symbol "∩" represents the intersection of groups. For example, D1∩n denotes the set of negative results obtained for known positive cases, i.e., false negatives.<h4>4 - What is Clinical Specificity?&nbsp;</h4>Clinical Specificity (SP), also known as the True Negative Rate, measures the proportion of true negatives correctly identified by the test. Data from a group of subjects who have been confirmed not to have the disease or condition through a gold standard test (D0 in Table 1) are needed to calculate clinical specificity.The formula for clinical specificity is:&nbsp;SP = tn / (tn + fp), where:&nbsp;<ul><li>tn, True Negatives are the cases where the test correctly identifies the absence of the disease.&nbsp;</li><li>fp, False Positives are the cases where the test incorrectly identifies the presence of the disease when it is actually absent.&nbsp;</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_Figure_1_Graphical_representation_of_an_example_of_85ab82a16b.jpg" alt="Eurachem: Figure 1. Graphical representation of an example of tp (D1∩p), tn (D0∩n), fn (D1∩n), and fp (D0∩p). " srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_Figure_1_Graphical_representation_of_an_example_of_85ab82a16b.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1300" height="736"><h4>5 - How to calculate the uncertainty of clinical sensitivity and specificity?</h4>Calculating clinical sensitivity and specificity uncertainty involves statistical methods that estimate each parameter's confidence interval (CI). These intervals provide a range of values within which the true sensitivity or specificity is expected to lie with a certain level of confidence, typically 95 %. Please refer to the AQA:2021 for information about statistical models to compute the 95 % CI [1].<h4>6 - How to define targets?&nbsp;</h4>Target minimum values for clinical sensitivity and specificity should be identified. These values may originate from regulations or criteria based on the intended use of the binary results. A target or minimum value for the lower limit of the 95 % CI for result rate, i.e., SS or SP, (LLSS.95 or LLSP.95) or the upper limit of the 95 % CI for result rate (HLSS.95 or HLSS.95) should also be defined according to the purpose of the analysis. The target or minimum value (LLSStg or LLSPtg) is particularly significant when the impact of false results is critical. For example, for blood components used in transfusions, the screening for infectious diseases should be performed with tests associated with an LLSS.95 close to 100 %.&nbsp;Figure 2 illustrates five different tests, each assessed for clinical sensitivity and its associated uncertainty. These cases reflect different levels of compliance with a target sensitivity of 0.5. Case 1 is non-compliant, Cases 2 to 4 are partially compliant, and Case 5 is compliant. From a simplified statistical power view, the laboratory should always take into account the minimum number of samples when defining its target. This number can be estimated by simulation. For example, for a clinical sensitivity of 90 % the evaluation will require a minimum of 10 samples. It should be emphasized that samples must be representative of the target population for a clinical power evaluation - for example, epidemiologically representative samples of the types and subtypes of a given virological agent are required.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_Figure_2_Compliance_assessment_with_clinical_sensitivity_a21ece043c.jpg" alt="Eurachem: Figure 2.

Immunopeptidomics bridges proteomics and immunology to decode the diverse repertoire of peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. These MHC-bound peptides, known as immunopeptidomes, play a pivotal role in immune recognition, influencing processes such as immune surveillance, infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and cancer.As research in this field advances, the demand for higher sensitivity, robustness, and throughput in peptide analysis has never been greater. In this webinar, we explore how Evosep One is transforming immunopeptidomics by enabling faster, more reproducible, and high-throughput workflows, helping researchers unravel immune responses with greater precision.<h4>Unlocking low-input immunopeptidomics using MAETi</h4>Presenter: Julian Beyrle, PhD student (HI-TRON Mainz, DKFZ German Cancer Research Center)Immunopeptidomics has matured into a key technology for advancing personalized cancer immunotherapies. However, current immunopeptidome preparation methods often still require substantial sample inputs or rely on complex technologies like microfluidics, thereby limiting accessibility and scalability. Mild Acid Elution in a Tip (MAETi) offers a simple, antibody-free approach for low-input MHC-I immunopeptidome profiling from 1 million to as few as 25,000 cells. By capturing acid-eluted MHC-I ligands directly on Evotips, complemented by HLA-tailored DDA- and DIA-PASEF in timsTOF mass spectrometers, MAETi achieves unprecedented sensitivity and robustness.<h4>Rapid and Sensitive Immunogenicity Risk Analysis of Early Biotherapeutic Drug Candidates</h4>Presenter: Bob Seward (Principal Scientist, Pfizer)Immunogenicity generated against biotherapeutic drugs can lead to both reduced efficacy and safety in patients. Presentation of drug-derived peptides on HLA class II molecules is a risk factor for development of anti-drug antibody responses in patients. Identification of these peptides early in the drug development process is critical for effective de-immunization strategies. We present here a streamlined and sensitive in vitro cellular and LC-MS based assay workflow which improves sample throughput and reduces turnaround times to enable rapid early drug lead immunogenicity risk analysis.
