Study to Determine the Dose of Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase Needed to Infuse a Full Dose of IGIV Subcutaneously
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility of infusing a full 4-week dose of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% in a single subcutaneous site and the amount of recombinant human hyaluronidase needed to infuse that dose with no more than mild local adverse drug reactions.

---|---|
Experimental: 1 Tolerability of subcutaneous infusions |
Biological: Recombinant human hyaluronidase + immune globulin intravenous
Dose (calculated) of rHuPH20 followed by subcutaneous infusion of IGIV, 10% to determine tolerability: doses of rHuPH20 and IGIV, 10% to be increased, as tolerated and as per protocol, until a full 4-week IgG dose can be administered

Experimental: 2 Tolerability of subcutaneous infusions and pharmacokinetics |
Biological: Recombinant human hyaluronidase + immune globulin intravenous
IV infusion of IGIV, 10% to determine pharmacokinetics
Intervention as in Arm 1: Dose (calculated) of rHuPH20 followed by subcutaneous infusion of IGIV, 10% to determine tolerability: doses of rHuPH20 and IGIV, 10% to be increased, as tolerated and as per protocol, until a full 4-week IgG dose can be administered

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Ability to administer, after priming with recombinant human hyaluronidase, at least one half of a 4-week dose (minimum of 200 mg/kg) of IgG in a single infusion site, via the subcutaneous route, with no more than mild local adverse drug reactions. [72 hours]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Diagnosis of a PID disorder as defined by World Health Organization criteria1 for which the subject had been receiving a regimen of weekly or biweekly (every-other-week) subcutaneous IgG infusions or IGIV infusions every 21 to 28 days over a period of at least 8 weeks pre-study at an equivalent of a 4-week dose of 300 to 800 mg/kg bodyweight
-
Adults/adolescents aged 16 years and older)
