Efficacy of IgIv in Patients With IgG Subclass Deficiency and Recurrent Infections

  • This is the first study, that we are aware of, that will evaluate the efficacy of IgIV in patients with IgG subclass deficiency.
  • Will provide data for further collaboration in extending study to involve other immunological centers in the United States to study patients with similar disease.
