Calypte Biomedical Receives Final Report From China Clinical Trials
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Calypte Biomedical Corporation (Amex: HIV) today announced that it has received the final clinical trial report from the Chinese Centers for Disease Control (Chinese CDC) confirming the performance of the five Calypte HIV tests that were evaluated earlier this year. Three rapid HIV tests, Aware HIV-1/2 BSP, Aware HIV-1/2 OMT, and Aware HIV-1/2 U were evaluated in these studies. These tests employ, respectively, blood, oral fluid, and urine samples. In addition, the Calypte HIV-1 Serum Western blot and the HIV-1 Urine Western blot tests were evaluated for their performance in various Chinese provinces and populations. The clinical trial was performed by the Chinese CDC.
The clinical trial of the three rapid tests included 1506 subjects; 247 of whom were infected and 1259 of whom were uninfected. The table below summarizes the performance of the rapid tests.
Sensitivity Specificity Accuracy
Aware HIV-1/2 OMT 100.0% 99.8% 99.9%
Aware HIV-1/2 U 97.2% 100.0% 99.5%
Aware HIV 1/2 BSP 100.0% 99.3% 99.4%
Sensitivity is a measure of the number of infected subjects correctly identified as positive. Specificity is a measure of the number of uninfected subjects correctly identified as negative. Accuracy is a composite measure of how many of the test subjects were correctly classified as infected or uninfected.
The serum and the urine HIV-1 Western blots also performed well, with sensitivities of 100% and 98.4%, respectively. The specificity of the urine Western blot was 100% and the specificity of the serum Western blot was 99.4%. The specificity of the serum Western blot was less than 100% as a result of two HIV-negative subjects whose sera displayed bands for p24, resulting in a so-called "indeterminate" interpretation. The presence of p24 antibodies is a common occurrence in uninfected individuals, and indeterminate results should not be confused with false positive results.
Dr. Richard George, President and CEO of Calypte said, "We are extremely encouraged by the excellent outcome of the China clinical trial. The Chinese CDC did an admirable job of conducting these studies and preparing the report. We now believe that all three rapid assays are approvable and that the OMT and urine tests are eligible for accelerated review. As I stated in our most recent conference call on August 15, the first application we file will be for approval of the Aware HIV-1/2 OMT test. We expect to make the submission in the coming weeks. The OMT application will be followed shortly by a submission for the Aware HIV-1/2 Urine test."
Dr. George continued; "Work in China continues at a vigorous pace to prepare for the impending launch of our sales effort after receipt of SFDA approval. Dr. Ron Mink, Calypte's Chief Science Officer, and members of his scientific staff are currently at our manufacturing facility near Beijing training our staff to make the rapid assays. We are also expecting delivery and installation of automated manufacturing equipment in early September. It is very gratifying to see all of our hard work resulting in a successful conclusion."
About China:
China has a population of approximately 1.4 billion. According to a joint China, World Health Organization and UNAIDS epidemiological survey there were 840,000 adults and children in China living with HIV/AIDS in 2003. In July of 2004, the Chinese premier, Wen Jiaboa went so far as to acknowledge HIV/AIDS as one of the "serious problems" facing China. Some experts have predicted that the number of infections by that date might exceed 15 million. Most experts agree that testing and education are the most important things that can be done to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS. To that end, the Chinese government has recently announced its commitment to offer voluntary HIV testing to its entire 1.36 billion-population. In countries where HIV infection has been contained, according to UNAIDS estimates, annual testing rates of the population aged 15-64 that is tested in a non-blood bank setting is between 15% and 25%. To effectively combat the spread of infection and meet the goals they have set for themselves, we believe that China must bring testing rates up to these levels and that this can only be done by the use of simple, inexpensive, and safe tests that can be performed on non-blood samples such as oral fluid and urine. Such tests can be performed in large numbers by non-medical personnel in all types of non-traditional settings.

Calypte Biomedical's Rockville, Maryland Facility Approved for the Manufacture of its HIV-1 Urine EIA Screening Test
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Calypte Biomedical Corporation (Amex: HIV) today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Company's Rockville facility as the manufacturing site for its HIV-1 Urine EIA screening test.
In 1996, Calypte's HIV-1 Urine EIA became the first, and remains the only, FDA-approved screening test for HIV-1 antibody capable of using urine samples. In mid-2004, the Company announced efforts to streamline and consolidate its operations, which included closing its Alameda, California manufacturing facility and transferring EIA test manufacturing to its Rockville, Maryland facility. The Rockville facility is already FDA-inspected and approved for the manufacture of Calypte's other HIV antibody tests, including its serum and urine HIV-1 Western Blot supplemental tests.
"This favorable response to our application to manufacture the HIV-1 Urine EIA in Rockville is an important accomplishment for several reasons," stated Dr. Richard George, President and CEO. "First and foremost, it means that the Rockville facility is now in a position to continue the uninterrupted supply of this test to our customers in the US and abroad. Second, the proposed sale of our Rockville operations to Maxim Biomedical Corporation is contingent upon, among other things, securing the FDA's approval of Rockville as a manufacturing site for the EIA. This event brings us one step closer to concluding that arrangement and to fully implementing our corporate restructuring plan."
