Issue
FDA seeks Committee advice on management of donors* and units, and on a proposed algorithm to permit reentry of some donors, when a donor tests positive for:
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA by a Nucleic Acid Test (NAT)------------------------------------ *Donors of Whole Blood and blood components for transfusion (WB) and
Source Plasma (SP) for manufacture into injectable plasma derivatives
Background
FDA recently licensed an HBV NAT (COBAS AmpliScreen HBV Test) for WB & SP donations
Currently HBV NAT donor testing is optional
It could be recommended in the future
Current Donor Testing for HBV
Consistent with current regulations and guidance documents:
Whole Blood/Components for transfusion is tested for - Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) - Antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc)
Source Plasma for further manufacture is tested for - HBsAg
HBV Donor Testing Performed by Centers that Implement HBV NAT
Whole Blood/Components for transfusion:
HBsAg, anti-HBc, and HBV NAT Source Plasma for further manufacture:
HBsAg, and HBV NAT
Centers will need to make decisions regarding donor/unit management based on test result combinations
HBV Testing for Centers that implement HBV NAT, contd.FDA’s current position:
If a unit tests HBV NAT negative: - Donor/unit management is c/w current FDA requirements and recommendations for HBsAg and anti-HBc. - Units that test NAT and serology negative used. If a unit tests HBV NAT positive: - Units that test NAT and /or serology positive not used. - Donor indefinitely deferred.
HBV NAT and Donor Reentry
Proposal:
An algorithm can be developed to determine eligibility of donors who test HBV NAT positive, based on subsequent negative HBV NAT and serologic test results.

Donor Reevaluation for Possible Reentry
During clinical trials of Roche’s COBAS AmpliScreen HBV NAT under IND,
- seroconversion studies showed that the maximum period of time that HBV DNA preceded HBsAg detection was 143 days.
- donor follow-up studies showed that the maximum period of time that HBV DNA preceded HBsAg detection was 17 days, and anti-HBc detection was 48 days .
Additional data will be presented.
Donor Reevaluation for Possible Reentry, contd.
Therefore, FDA is considering recommending a minimum 6-month waiting period after a positive HBV NAT result with negative serology results prior to retesting, to ensure that, if a true infection exists, seroconversion to HBsAg and/or anti-HBc occurs
Donor Reevaluation for Possible Reentry, contd.
A sample (not a donation) is collected at least 6 months after the index donation
For Whole Blood/Components for transfusion donors, sample tested for HBsAg, anti-HBc, HBV DNA by individual sample NAT
For Source Plasma donors, sample tested for HBsAg and HBV DNA by individual sample NAT
Donor Reevaluation > 6 Months After Index Donation
Category HBV DNA by Individual Sample NAT
HBsAg and/or
Anti-HBc
Donor
a Positive Any test result Permanently Deferred
b Negative
Non reactive Eligible for reentry
Further evaluation, as described in FDA
recommendations
c Negative Repeat reactive
Donor Testing Before the End of 6-Month Waiting Period
May be performed for notification or medical reasons If positive NAT obtained, donor should be permanently
deferred, irrespective of serology results Negative/non-reactive results may be used for
counseling Only negative individual NAT and negative serologic
test(s), collected at least 6 months after the index
donation, qualifies the donor for reentry
Donor Reevaluation for Possible Reentry, contd.
A sample (not a donation) is collected at least 6 months after the index donation
For Whole Blood/Components for transfusion donors, sample tested for HBsAg, anti-HBc, HBV DNA by individual sample NAT
For Source Plasma donors, sample tested for HBsAg and HBV DNA by individual sample NAT
Questions for the Committee
1. Based on the scientific data, does the Committee agree with FDA’s proposal that
a) A donor of Whole Blood and blood components for transfusion, who tests HBV NAT positive, anti-HBc non-reactive and HBsAg non-reactive or HBsAg repeatedly reactive /not confirmed by neutralization, may be reentered, if after a minimum period of 6 months a sample from the donor tests negative for HBV DNA by individual sample NAT, non-reactive for anti-HBc and non-reactive for HBsAg , ….
Questions for the Committee, contd.
1. Based on the scientific data, does the Committee agree with FDA’s proposal that
b) A donor of Source Plasma for further manufacture into plasma derivatives, who tests HBV NAT positive and HBsAg non-reactive or HBsAg repeatedly reactive /not confirmed by neutralization, may be reentered, if after a minimum period of 6 months a sample from the donor tests negative for HBV DNA by individual sample NAT and non-reactive for HBsAg?
Questions for the Committee, contd.
2. Please discuss any alternative approaches FDA should consider.
