This study will evaluate the clinical performance of two investigational diagnostic kits developed by ALPCO: the Syphilis-T CLIA Kit and the Syphilis-NT CLIA Kit. These kits are designed to detect antibodies to Treponema pallidum and non-treponemal lipoidal antigens, respectively, in human serum and plasma using the automated KleeYa platform. The study will collect and analyze blood samples from individuals suspected of having syphilis, those at high risk, HIV-positive patients, pregnant individuals, and healthy controls. The aim is to determine the kits' Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) compared to established reference assays.
This is a multicenter, prospective clinical collection study designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the ALPCO Syphilis-T and Syphilis-NT CLIA Kits. The study will enroll individuals undergoing routine syphilis testing, those with a history of syphilis, HIV-positive individuals, pregnant individuals, and healthy volunteers. Blood samples will be collected, processed, and tested across up to three clinical sites using the investigational kits. Reference results will be determined using validated, FDA-cleared treponemal and non-treponemal tests. For the treponemal assay, results will be considered accurate if they match at least two of the three reference tests. The primary objective is to demonstrate that both kits meet or exceed prespecified performance criteria, including ≥95% positive and negative percent agreement (≥99% NPA for the non-treponemal kit), with the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval at or above 90%.

| Positive and Negative Percent Agreement of the ALPCO Syphilis-T and Syphilis-NT CLIA Kits | Evaluate the clinical performance of the ALPCO Syphilis-T and Syphilis-NT CLIA Kits in detecting antibodies to Treponema pallidum and lipoidal antigens, by comparing results against established comparator assays. Success is defined as meeting or exceeding pre-specified thresholds for Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA), with lower bounds of the 95% confidence interval ≥90%. | 6 months |

Serum and plasma samples will be collected from participants via venipuncture. These samples will be used to evaluate the performance of the investigational syphilis diagnostic assays. Retained biospecimens will not be used for DNA extraction and will be stored under appropriate conditions for future diagnostic validation studies.
