    [VIRTUAL] A CLINICAL CASE OF X-LINKED HYPER-IGM SYNDROME () -  Jun 2, 2021 - Abstract #ESPID2021ESPID_1432;    
    Against the background of the treatment (antibiotic therapy, octagam), a slight improvement in the condition of the boy was noted, however, after a short period of relief, complaints again appeared about fever, diarrhea, aphthous stomatitis, weight loss...The CD40LG gene is associated with X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (HIGM). Learning Points/ Since primary immunodeficiency states can manifest themselves with malabsorption syndrome, diarrhea, IBD, pediatricians should be more alert and take into account in the differential diagnosis of these conditions and the choice of treatment regimens.

    Thereby, SCIg represents an alternative to IVIg, in particularly in patients with difficult venous access or insufficient response, and/or in patients preferring home care setting. To evaluate the effect of adjunct treatment with Octagam, an intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) product, on clinical outcomes and biomarkers in critically ill COVID-19 patients...Clinically relevant benefits through adjunct Octagam treatment in COVID-19 need to be confirmed in a randomized, controlled trial.

    [VIRTUAL] Real-World Evaluation of Immune Globulin Subcutaneous 16.5% in the Treatment of Primary Immunodeficiency () -  Feb 3, 2021 - Abstract #AAAAI2021AAAAI_989;    
    We report efficacy, safety, and tolerability of IGSC 16.5% (Cutaquig®) in a real-world setting.  Methods We conducted a retrospective review of patients receiving IGSC 16.5% from product availability through 7/2020...Overall, 35 (39%) patients experienced 53 mild to moderate bacterial respiratory tract infections, predominantly sinus infections. Three were serious bacterial infections.  Conclusions These data demonstrate IGSC 16.5% for PID is effective and well-tolerated in a real-world setting.

    Patients received weekly or bi-weekly doses of SCIg 16.5% (Cutaquig) with the option of increased infusion volume (up to 60 mL/site) and rate (up to 240 mL/hr/all sites) over a 42-month period.  Results Twenty-seven patients received a mean dose of 0.169 g/kg overall (range among different age groups: 0.127 – 0.166 g/kg)...44.4% of patients experienced infusion site reactions, with most being mild-to-moderate in intensity. Serum IgG trough levels remained relatively constant (> 5g/L) throughout the study.  Conclusions This study demonstrated that subcutaneous human normal immunoglobulin 16.5% is well-tolerated, safe and effective for long-term use in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases.
  • ||||||||||  Octagam (intravenous normal human immunoglobulin) / Octapharma
    [VIRTUAL] Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Treatment of Severe Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) – A Literature Overview () -  Feb 3, 2021 - Abstract #AAAAI2021AAAAI_886;    
    An observational study conducted in 10 COVID-19 patients demonstrated short-term moderate-dose corticosteroid combined with high-dose IVIg reversed severe, deteriorating COVID-19 patients who failed initial low-dose therapy. Three published papers were identified using IVIg in pediatric COVID-19 patients who presented with Kawasaki-like or PMIS (Pediatric COVID-associated Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome).  Conclusions It may be useful to consider high-dose IVIg at the time of initiation of respiratory distress to potentially promote satisfactory clinical recovery and reduce burden of care for COVID-19 patients.

    [VIRTUAL] Evaluating Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Subcutaneous Human Immunoglobulin 16.5% Administered at Modified Dosing Regimens in Patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases – Study Design () -  Feb 3, 2021 - Abstract #AAAAI2021AAAAI_819;    
    Sixty-five adult and pediatric patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PID currently on a stable dose of SCIG treatment will be enrolled and assigned to 1 of 3 cohorts to receive doses of SCIg 16.5% (Cutaquig) over a 32-week period (Cohort 1: increased volume at each infusion site (up to 60 mL/site); Cohort 2: increased infusion rate (up to 240 mL/hr/all sites); Cohort 3: every other week dosing).  Results The co-primary objectives are to compare total IgG trough levels achieved by weekly infusions to every other week infusions, to assess safety and tolerability of SCIg 16.5% being administered according to 3 different infusion parameters, and to assess efficacy parameters when switching from weekly infusions to every other week infusions. Secondary objectives will evaluate quality of life, along with additional evaluations of safety and efficacy of SCIg 16.5% administration.  Conclusions The investigators of this study hope to provide modified infusion regimens to offer patients dosing flexibility to accommodate their personal schedules or reduce the number of injection
  • ||||||||||  Octagam (intravenous normal human immunoglobulin) / Octapharma
    Clinical, Observational data, Retrospective data, Review, Clinical Trial,Phase III, Journal:  Use of Intravenous Immunoglobulin (Prevagen or Octagam) for the Treatment of COVID-19: Retrospective Case Series. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 29, 2021   
    No thrombotic events occurred and IVIG was well tolerated, despite most cases demonstrating very elevated D-dimer suggestive of active intravascular fibrinolysis. We believe that IVIG warrants immediate clinical trial evaluation in COVID-19 to confirm its role as a mainstay treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19 infection as a means to reduce hospital stay and utilization of ICU resources, including mechanical ventilation, and potentially reduce mortality.

  • ||||||||||  [VIRTUAL] PHARMACOKINETIC DIFFERENCES IN HEMOPHILIA A BASED ON FVIII PRODUCT AND ON ASSAY TYPE () -  Jan 8, 2021 - Abstract #EAHAD2021EAHAD_16;    
    It is still uncertain whether “Elocta” correlates with higher FVIII levels on CSA and if this fact was relevant for our statistically significant results in t1/2 of EHL in CSA. Interestingly, plasma‐derived product presented higher t1/2 than recombinant products, even though n.s. Although the number of studied patients was low to draft definitive conclusions, making comparison analysis between products more difficult, we observed minimal FVIII measurement discrepancies among OSA and CSA.

    Additionally, IVIG cost savings can reduce the need for IVIG rationing in times of drug shortages, which may especially be harmful for patients who need frequent administration of IVIG.

    All were administered IVIG (Octagam 10%) at 0.4 g/kg every 14 days for a total of 5 infusions...Three subjects had a reduction in amyloid SUVR and all 5 subjects had a reduction in amyloid retinal deposits in at least 1 eye. A short course of IVIG over 2 months removes a measurable amount of amyloid from the CNS in persons with MCI.
  • ||||||||||  Fibryga (fibrinogen concentrate (human)) / Octapharma
    [VIRTUAL] Human Fibrinogen Concentrate for Bleeding Prophylaxis During Surgery in Paediatric Patients with Congenital Fibrinogen Deficiency () -  Dec 18, 2020 - Abstract #GTH2021GTH_239;    
    Efficacy of HFC (Fibryga® Octapharma) in surgical prophylaxis was assessed at the end of surgery by the surgeon and post-operatively by the haematologist using a four-point objective scale (Excellent, Good, Moderate, None), and by an Independent Data Monitoring & Endpoint Adjudication Committee (IDMEAC)...No allergic/hypersensitivity reactions or deaths were observed. Conclusion HFC administration for bleeding prophylaxis during surgery was efficacious for this ultra-rare disease in a paediatric population with congenital afibrinogenemia and showed a favourable safety profile.
