Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 10% intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG; Flebogamma® 10% DIF) in individuals with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Patients & methods: Patients aged 3–70 years, diagnosed with chronic ITP, received 1 g/kg IVIG over two consecutive days. Results: 64 evaluable patients (51 adults, 13 children) with chronic ITP received IVIG. The primary efficacy end point (increased platelet counts from ≤20 × 109/l to ≥50 × 109/l by day 8) was achieved by 81.3% of patients; mean time to response was 1.7 days (all responders). Adverse events, mostly mild or moderate, were reported in 59 patients (92.2%). Conclusion: Flebogamma® 10% DIF administered over two consecutive days was safe and effective in adults and children with chronic ITP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 10% (Panzyga® ), a novel human normal IVIG 10%, in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). BACKGROUND First-line treatment options in ITP include IVIGs. METHODS In this prospective, open-label, non-controlled, multicentre, phase III study, patients received a daily dose of IVIG 10% (1 g kg-1 body weight) for two consecutive days. The primary end point was clinical response rate; secondary end points included alternate response definitions, time to response, response duration, platelet counts, regression of bleeding and safety. RESULTS Forty patients were enrolled (57·5% male, mean age 36·7 years); the full analysis set comprised 36 patients. A clinical response was seen for 29 of 36 patients (80·6%). Median time to response and response duration was 2 days and 14 days, respectively. IVIG 10% was well tolerated at a maximum infusion rate of 8 mg (kg min)-1 in all but one patient; adverse events were mainly mild to moderate in severity, and the most frequent was headache (42·5%). CONCLUSION IVIG 10% is well tolerated even at a high infusion speed and induces a rapid platelet count increase, thus decreasing the bleeding rate and the severity of bleeding events. TRIAL REGISTRY ClinicalTrials.gov record: NCT01349790.

Efficacy and Safety of IQYMUNE®, a Ten Percent Intravenous Immunoglobulin in Adult Patients With Chronic, Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia. J Hematol 2018; 7:87-95. [PMID: 32300420 PMCID: PMC7155829 DOI: 10.14740/jh385w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2018] [Accepted: 05/07/2018] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) IQYMUNE® is a highly purified 10% IVIG that was assessed using the new stringent definition of response described in the revised guideline on the clinical investigation of IVIG. The efficacy and the safety of IQYMUNE® were investigated in adult patients with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Methods In this phase III multinational, multicentre, prospective, uncontrolled, open-label, single-arm study, adult patients with a baseline platelet count < 30 × 109/L were treated with IVIG 10% at a dose of 2 g/kg body weight administered over 2 consecutive days. The primary endpoint was Response over the study period and was defined according to the recent and most stringent European Medicines Agency guidelines (platelet count ≥ 30 × 109/L and a ≥ 2-fold increase from baseline, no new bleeding, and no concomitant treatment with drugs that affect platelet count and/or induce bleeding cessation). Results Thirty-eight patients were enrolled; 73 infusions were administered (38 on Day 1 and 35 on Day 2). Response was reached by 24 patients corresponding to 63.2% of patients in the full analysis set (95% CI: 46.0; 78.2) and 68.6% of patients in the per-protocol set (95% CI: 50.7; 83.1). The median time to Response was 1 day. The median duration of Response was 13.5 days. Reasons for non-response were failure to reach the required platelet count (n = 12), a new bleeding event (n = 1), and forbidden medication use (n = 1). Among the 23 patients with a baseline platelet count ≤ 20 × 109/L, 19 patients (82.6%) achieved a platelet count ≥ 50 × 109/L at least once before Day 5 (previous European Medicines Agency definition of response). Treatment was well tolerated even in patients with a high flow rate (≥ 6 mL/kg/h in 40% of patients). Headache (34.2%), pyrexia (15.8%), and creatinine renal clearance decrease, including one case of decrease in glomerular filtration rate (10.5%) were the most frequently reported drug-related adverse events. Conclusions Administration of IQYMUNE® for 2 consecutive days at a dose of 2 g/kg was safe and efficacious. These results support the treatment of adult patients with chronic ITP with IQYMUNE®.

Surveillance study on the tolerability and safety of Flebogamma ® DIF (10% and 5% intravenous immunoglobulin) in adult and pediatric patients. Pharmacol Res Perspect 2018; 5. [PMID: 28971614 PMCID: PMC5625155 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2017] [Accepted: 07/20/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Direct comparisons of tolerability and safety of concentrated intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) versus less concentrated products are scarce. In this postauthorization, prospective, observational, multicenter study, a systematic comparison of 10% and 5% concentrations of Flebogamma® DIF IVIG was performed in both adult and pediatric patients treated with the studied IVIG products according to the approved indications under routine conditions. Dose of product administered, adverse events (AEs), physical assessments, laboratory tests, and concomitant therapy were analyzed. Patient recruitment in the 10% and 5% product groups was, respectively, 34 (32 analyzed, 13 of them children, receiving 130 IVIG infusions) and 35 (34 analyzed, receiving 135 IVIG infusions). Twenty‐four infusions (18.5%; 95% CI: 11.8, 25.1) with the 10% product and 3 (2.2%; 95% CI: −0.3, 4.7) with the 5% product were associated with potentially treatment‐related AEs (P < 0.0001). Nine patients (28.1%) infused with the 10% product and 3 (8.8%) infused with the 5% product presented, respectively, 33 and 8 treatment‐related AEs (of which 7 and 6, respectively, were serious AEs, experienced by only three hypersensitive patients). The profile of AEs occurring with the infusion of 10% and 5% products were comparable. The most frequent treatment‐related AEs were headache (n = 17, 3 patients; 15 episodes, 1 patient) and pyrexia (n = 6, 4 patients). In conclusion, no unpredictable risk was detected for both Flebogamma DIF 10% and 5% concentrations, which were therefore deemed as safe and well‐tolerated IVIG in the studied population. The frequency of infusions associated with treatment‐related AEs was lower with the 5% concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the current study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg)-SN 10%, a new 10% IVIg formulation, in adult patients with severe primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP; platelet count < 20 × 109/L). METHODS Patients diagnosed as primary ITP, aged 19 years old or more, and had a platelet count of < 20 × 109/L by screening complete blood cell count performed within 2 weeks of study commencement were eligible. Patients received IVIg-SN 10% at a dose of 1 g/kg/day for two consecutive days. Response was defined as the achievement of a platelet count of ≥ 50 × 109/L at day 8. RESULTS Out of 81 eligible patients, 31 patients were newly diagnosed, 7 patients had persistent ITP, and 43 patients had chronic ITP. In intent-to-treat analysis, 61.3 patients (75.7%) achieved response and satisfied the pre-defined non-inferiority condition. Median time to response was 2 days and mean duration of maintaining response after the completion of IVIg therapy was 9.13 ± 8.40 days. Response rates were not found to be dependent on the phase of ITP or previous treatment for ITP. The drug was well tolerated and the frequency of mucocutaneous bleeding decreased during the study period. CONCLUSION In summary, IVIg-SN 10% formulation was found to be safe and effective in adult ITP patients (Trial registry at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02063789).

Abstract
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) has an established role in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The safety and efficacy of a new ready-to-use IVIg 10% formulation (octagam(®) 10%) were investigated in a prospective phase III study in 116 adult patients with ITP (platelet count ≤20×10(9)/l). Sixty-six patients had chronic ITP and 49 were newly diagnosed. Patients received octagam 10% 1 g/kg/day on two consecutive days; infusion rate was adjusted according to tolerability to a maximum of 0·12 ml/kg/minute. Eighty per cent of patients attained the primary efficacy endpoint of clinical response (platelet count ≥50×10(9)/l within 6 days of dosing). The median time to response was 2 days and the median duration of response was 12 days; mean response duration was 24·1 days. octagam 10% was well tolerated and effective in this population representative of adult patients with ITP, even at the maximum infusion rate of 0·12 ml/kg/minute, without unexpected safety issues.
