About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Common Variable Immunodeficiency focused on measuring Subcutaneous immune globulin, SCIG

Eligibility Criteria

2 Years - 65 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with primary humoral immunodeficiency, namely with a diagnosis of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) as defined by the Pan-American Group for Immunodeficiency (PAGID) and European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID), X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) as defined by PAGID and ESID, or Autosomal Recessive Agammaglobulinemia

Arm Description

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Total Serum IgG Trough Levels
Total IgG trough levels for IgPro20 treatment at steady state were compared with documented trough level data for IgG treatment received prior to enrolling in the study (either subcutaneous or intravenous IgG). For this purpose, 6 consecutive IgPro20 trough values (obtained prior to infusions 12 to 17) per subject were aggregated to the subject's median value and then median values across subjects were summarised using descriptive statistics. The same procedure was applied to pre-study treatment using the 3 most recent IgG trough values ≥ 5 g/L obtained prior to the first IgPro20 infusion.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Annual Rate of Clinically Documented Serious Bacterial Infections (ITT Population)
Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) included bacterial pneumonia, bacteraemia/septicaemia, osteomyelitis/septic arthritis, bacterial meningitis, and visceral abscess. Diagnosis of the SBIs was based on the presence of predefined clinical signs and symptoms as well as on laboratory parameters. The annual rate was calculated based on the total number of SBIs and the total number of study days during the efficacy period for all subjects in the ITT population and adjusted to 365 days.
Annual Rate of Clinically Documented Serious Bacterial Infections (PPE Population)
Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) included bacterial pneumonia, bacteraemia/septicaemia, osteomyelitis/septic arthritis, bacterial meningitis, and visceral abscess. Diagnosis of the SBIs was based on the presence of predefined clinical signs and symptoms as well as on laboratory parameters. The annual rate was calculated based on the total number of SBIs and the total number of study days during the efficacy period for all subjects in the PPE population and adjusted to 365 days.
Annual Rate of Infection Episodes
The annual rate of episodes was calculated based on the total number of any infection type and the total number of study days during the efficacy period for all subjects in the ITT population and adjusted to 365 days.
Annual Rate of Days Out of Work / School / Kindergarten / Day Care or Unable to Perform Normal Activities Due to Infections
The annual rate was calculated based on the total number of days out of work/school/kindergarten/day care or unable to perform normal activities due to infections in the efficacy period divided by the total number of days in the efficacy period for all subjects and adjusted to 365 days.
Annual Rate of the Number of Days of Hospitalization Due to Infections
The annual rate was calculated based on the total number of days of hospitalization due to infections in the efficacy period divided by the total number of days in the efficacy period for all subjects and adjusted to 365 days.
Annual Rate of Antibiotic Use for Infection Prophylaxis and Treatment
The annual rate was calculated based on the total number of days of antibiotic use in the efficacy period divided by the total number of days in the efficacy period for all subjects and adjusted to 365 days.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy, tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics of IgPro20 in patients with primary humoral immunodeficiency (PID).
Detailed Description
This study consisted of a 12-week wash-in/wash-out period followed by a 28-week efficacy period. During the 28-week efficacy period, subjects visited the study site at least every 4 weeks for efficacy and safety evaluations and additionally recorded details regarding IgPro20 dose and certain aspects of efficacy and safety in a diary. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were assessed in a sub-group of subjects during 1 treatment interval at steady-state (Week 28 ± 1).

Intervention Description
IgPro20 is a liquid formulation of normal human IgG at a concentration of 20% administered as a SC infusion at weekly intervals.
