COVID-19 IVD Test Tracker

Kalorama’s latest report reports that more than 9 billion will be earned by IVD companies selling both molecular and immunoassay tests.  9,040 million dollars.  The worldwide COVID-19 crisis has spawned hundreds of diagnostic testing kits and daily announcements.  How do you sort out the significant tests with large distribution and market share from promising startups or low volume companies? This Kalorama COVID-19 IVD Test Tracker will update on new EUAs with information and analysis from Kalorama analysts, updated on a regular basis.  Kalorama Information has covered diagnostics for 2 decades.

Antigen Tests on the Market or in Development

Antigen tests, most of which are performed rapidly at the point of care, detect viral particles rather than antibodies in the patient. They can offer some major benefits in the effort to control the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

The decision to apply antigen tests in certain situations as opposed to others is complicated and is still being completely sorted out. Variables can include:

  • Sensitivity and specificity of the test
  • Prevalence/outbreak of COVID-19 in the given population
  • Remote location, availability of laboratories/hospitals
  • Turnaround time of the test
  • Cost of the test
  • Ability to perform serial testing

Following are a list of antigen tests on the market or in development.  Most are rapid test designed for a point-of care setting, but increasingly lab-based tests are in development and being employed in CE mark-accepting countries.

FDA Test Authorizations of IVD Products Over Time

There’s been a steady increase in IVD Test Product EUAs over time.  Over a month ago, only the CDC’s own test was available.  Roche’s cobas test approval became the first commercial test, and then many other EUAs followed.

 

Our major global IVD market report for global market estimates in infectious disease testing, molecular diagnostics, oncology testing, hematology, critical care testing and other areas is The Worldwide Market for In Vitro Diagnostic Tests, now in its 13th Edition

 

Significant new EUAs include Roche’s IL-6 Test, Quidel’s Direct Test (no RNA extraction kit required), Abbott’s Alinity m2000 Test, Everlywell’s Home Collection Kit (not a test in the purest sense but regulated by  the FDA as one), Quidel’s Sofia Antigen Test, Sherlock CRISPR test, Biomerieux’s R-GENE 2 triplex PCR test (for covering possible COVID-19 mutations).   Bio-Rad’s dPCR test, Roche and Abbott high-throughput Serology tests.

The United States is currently where most COVID-19 testing is occurring, thus tracking the IVD EUA is most important.   This chart details FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)s over time.  This chart does not include lab-developed tests (LDT) at universities, hospital medical centers or states that may use the IVD products.

IVD Test Authorizations by Technology Type

RT-PCR is the gold standard and molecular tests are by their nature slightly faster to develop when a virus has a known genetic signature, as is the case with SARS-CoV-2.  Therefore it’s not surprising to see most EUAs  consist of PCR tests, though anti-body tests are increasingly netting authorizations:
