Efficacy and Safety of Vivaglobin® in Previously Untreated Patients With Primary Immunodeficiency

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Common Variable Immunodeficiency; Agammaglobulinemia
• Interventions: Drug: Vivaglobin

• Registration Number: NCT00520494
• Lead Sponsor: CSL Behring

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Vivaglobin	Vivaglobin	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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of Patients Achieving Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Levels ≥ 5 g/L on Day 12	On Day 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of Patients Achieving IgG Levels ≥ 5 g/L on Day 19	On Day 19
IgG Increase (Change From Baseline) on Day 12	Baseline to Day 12
Serum Concentrations of Specific IgGs Against Cytomegalovirus, Tetanus, and Measles on Day 12	On Day 12
Proportion of Patients Achieving IgG Levels ≥ 5 g/L on Day 26	On Day 26
Overall Rate of Infections	For the duration of the study, up to approximately 25 weeks	Annualized rate of any infection. The annualized rate was based on the total number of infections and the total number of patient study days for all patients in the specified analysis population and adjusted to 365 days.; Infections were classified as all AEs with the system organ class "infections and infestations".
Total Serum IgG Trough Levels on Day 12	On Day 12
Quality of Life as Measured by the Adapted Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36; Age ≥ 14 Years)	At study completion, approximately Week 25	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.
Total Serum IgG Trough Levels at Week 25	At Week 25
Serum Concentrations of Specific IgGs Against Cytomegalovirus, Tetanus, and Measles at Week 25	At Week 25
Serum Concentrations of Specific IgGs Against H. Influenzae Type B and S. Pneumoniae On Day 12	On Day 12
Quality of Life as Measured by the Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form-50 (CHQ-PF50; Age ≤ 13 Years)	At study completion, approximately Week 25	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.
