Introduction: The bone resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide of Type I collagen (β-CTX-I), measured in plasma or serum is used to assess bone metabolism and therapeutic response in bone disorders. Studies have shown poor agreement in results between commercial assays for β-CTX-I and harmonization of assays has been proposed by the IFCC-IOF Committee for Bone Metabolism to achieve widely and interchangeably use of the assays.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of a new Beta CrossLaps® (CTX-I) (IDS-NEW) assay from Immunodiagnostic Systems (IDS) and to compare it with the existing IDS-iSYS CTX-I (CrossLaps®) assay (IDS-OLD) and the Roche Elecsys® β-CrossLaps/serum assay (ELECSYS).

Methods: Patient EDTA plasma samples were obtained. Precision of the IDS-NEW assay was assessed by measuring two patient pools (one around the geometric mean for premenopausal women and one at a higher level). Each level was run on every weekday in a period of two weeks, n = 30. Both the IDS-ISYS (iSYS) and IDS-i10 (i10) platforms were used. Correlation between the IDS-NEW assay, the current IDS-OLD assay and the ELECSYS assay were evaluated by measuring patient samples in parallel on the different assays.

Results: Precision of the IDS-NEW assay is shown in table 1. Parallel analysis of patient samples (n =68) using the IDS-NEW assay on the iSYS and i10 system showed a high correlation (R2 = 0.994, P< 0.0001) with a negligible bias of 0.5 ng/l (P = 0.9177). Method comparison between the IDS-NEW and IDS-OLD assays (n =93) showed a high correlation (R2 = 0.983, P< 0.0001) with a non-significant bias of 28 ng/l (P = 0.1203). However, a complex systematic bias with the IDS-NEW assay giving higher values at low concentrations and lower values at high concentrations compared to the IDS-OLD was seen. Finally, parallel analysis of patient samples (n =40) on the IDS-NEW assay and the Elecsys assay showed a high correlation (0.9841, P< 0.0001) with a mean bias of 14 ng/l (P = 0.2523). A possible lower correlation between the assays was observed at concentrations below 200 ng/l. New reference intervals for children will be presented.

Conclusions: - There is a high correlation between the IDS-NEW and the ELECSYS assay.- Steps towards harmonization of the IDS-NEW assay with the ELECSYS assay have now been taken. However, whether interchangeable use of the two assays for monitoring individual patients over time is yet to be determined
