Vivaglobin

Arm Description

Vivaglobin: 16% (160 mg/mL) liquid formulation of human IgG for SC use. Loading dose: 100 mg/kg for 5 consecutive days; maintenance dose: 100 mg/kg 1 to 2 times a week for 24 weeks.

Outcomes

Proportion of Patients Achieving IgG Levels ≥ 5 g/L on Day 26

Quality of Life as Measured by the Adapted Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36; Age ≥ 14 Years)
The SF-36 is a 36-item questionnaire that measures generic health concepts that are relevant across age, disease, and treatment groups. The questions are grouped into eight domains: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better health state.
Quality of Life as Measured by the Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form-50 (CHQ-PF50; Age ≤ 13 Years)
The CHQ-PF50 is a 50-item questionnaire that measures generic health concepts and is suitable for patients younger than 14 years of age. The questions are grouped into 15 domains: global health, physical functioning, role/social limitations - emotional/behavioral, role/social limitations - physical, bodily pain, behavior, global behavior, mental health, self esteem, general health perceptions, change in health, parental impact - emotional, parental impact - time, family activities, and family cohesion. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better health state.

Rate of AEs by Severity and Relatedness
The rate was the number of AEs over the number of infusions administered. Mild AE: Did not interfere with activities; Moderate AE: Interfered somewhat with routine activities; Severe AE: Impossible to perform routine activities.

Rate of Local Reactions by Severity and Relatedness
The rate was the number of local reactions over the number of infusions administered. Local reactions included: infusion site: erythema, pain, pruritus, rash, reaction, swelling; injection site: bruising, erythema, irritation, pruritus, swelling; edema peripheral; tenderness; erythema; pruritus; and skin swelling. Mild AE: Did not interfere with activities; Moderate AE: Interfered somewhat with routine activities; Severe AE: Impossible to perform routine activities. Not related: Explained by factors not involving the drug, no temporal relationship; Possibly related: Occurred within a reasonable time of administration, could also be explained by concurrent disease or other drugs; Probably related: Compelling temporal relationship, could not be explained concurrent disease/other drugs; Related AE: Compelling temporal relationship, known/suspected response to the drug confirmed by improvement on stopping.
Number of Patients With Clinically Relevant Changes in Routine Laboratory Parameters
Laboratory parameters included hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis parameters, and were assessed at screening, Week 12 (hematology and serum chemistry) and at the completion visit (approximately Week 25).
Number of Patients With Clinically Relevant Changes in Vital Signs
Vital signs included heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body temperature.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Vivaglobin in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with primary immunodeficiency (PID) over a 25-week observation period. The purpose is to investigate whether PUPs will respond to subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) treatment with adequate trough levels without first receiving immunoglobulins by the intravenous route by demonstrating that 100 mg immunoglobulin G/kg body weight (IgG/kg bw) administered on 5 consecutive days (i.e. resulting in a total dose of 500 mg IgG/kg bw) results in an IgG increase to ≥ 5 g/L on Day 12 after initiation of SCIG therapy.
