A Study to Evaluate IGSC 20% Biweekly Dosing in Treatment-Experienced Participants and Loading/Maintenance Dosing in Treatment-Naïve Participants With Primary Immunodeficiency

A Multi-center, Single-Sequence, Open-label Study to Evaluate IGSC 20% Biweekly Dosing in Treatment-Experienced Subjects and Loading/Maintenance Dosing in Treatment-Naïve Subjects With Primary Immunodeficiency

The purpose of the study is to determine whether biweekly (every 2 weeks) administration of Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGSC 20%) produces a steady-state area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of total Immunoglobulin G (IgG) that is non-inferior to that produced by weekly administration of IGSC 20% in treatment-experienced participants with primary immunodeficiency (PI).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: IGSC 20%: Treatment-experienced Cohort; Participants first received 16 weekly doses of IGSC 20% using a subcutaneous (SC) infusion pump from Week 0 to Week 15. Participants entering study on intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), IGSC 20% was dosed at 1.37 times the equivalent weekly dose and participants entering on subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) received the same milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) equivalent weekly dose as given prior to study entry, without using a dose adjustment factor (DAF). Participants then received 9 biweekly doses of IGSC 20 % (i.e, IGSC 20% every 2 weeks) using an SC infusion pump, with the first IGSC 20% dose administered at Week 16 and the final dose given at Week 32.	Biological: IGSC 20%; SC infusion pump.; Other Names: Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified
Experimental: IGSC 20%: Treatment-naïve Cohort; Treatment-naïve participants received a loading dose of 150 mg/kg/day of IGSC 20% for 5 consecutive days (Week 0, Days 1 to 5) followed by weekly maintenance infusions of 150 mg/kg IGSC 20% starting Week 1 (Day 8) through Week 32. IGSC 20% infusion was administered using an SC infusion pump.	Biological: IGSC 20%; SC infusion pump.; Other Names: Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Treatment-experienced Cohort: AUC of IGSC 20% Administered Weekly Assessed as: Steady-State AUC of Total IgG Over a Regular Dosing Interval (τ)	Area under the concentration vs. time curve at steady state over the dosing interval (from time 0 to τ), was calculated by a combination of linear and logarithmic trapezoidal methods. The linear trapezoidal method was used for all incremental trapezoids arising from increasing concentrations and the logarithmic trapezoidal method was used for those arising from decreasing concentrations. The dose interval τ was 7 days for participants on weekly IGSC 20% dosing. The data is reported for participants who received weekly dosing.	Predose and post dose at multiple time points after end of infusion up to Week 15
Treatment-experienced Cohort: AUC of IGSC 20% Administered Biweekly Assessed as Steady-State AUC of Total IgG Over a Biweekly Dosing Interval	Area under the concentration vs. time curve at steady state over the dosing interval (from time 0 to τ), was calculated by a combination of linear and logarithmic trapezoidal methods. The linear trapezoidal method was used for all incremental trapezoids arising from increasing concentrations and the logarithmic trapezoidal method was used for those arising from decreasing concentrations. The dose interval τ was 14 days for participants on a biweekly IGSC 20% dosing. AUC (0-14 days) for the biweekly dosing were divided by 2 for comparison with AUC(0-7 days) for the weekly dosing prior to the statistical comparison. The data is reported for participants who received bi-weekly dosing.	Predose and post dose at multiple timepoints after end of infusion up to Week 32

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Treatment-experienced Cohort: Cmax of Total IgG at Steady State Following IGSC 20% Weekly and Biweekly Administration	The observed maximum total IgG concentration following drug infusion obtained directly from the experimental data without interpolation. The data is reported for participants who received weekly and bi-weekly dosing	Predose and post dose at multiple timepoints after end of infusion up to Week 32
Treatment-experienced Cohort: Tmax of Total IgG at Steady State Given IGSC 20% Weekly and Biweekly	The data is reported for participants who received weekly and bi-weekly dosing	Predose and post dose at multiple timepoints after end of infusion up to Week 32
Treatment-experienced Cohort: Steady-State Mean Trough Concentration of Total IgG Following IGSC 20% Weekly and Biweekly Administration	Mean Trough was calculated as the average of the trough concentrations at Weeks 12, 14 Pre-infusion, and 16 for the Weekly Period; and at Weeks 28, 30 Pre-infusion, and 32 for the Biweekly Period. Mean Trough for a given period was not calculated if at least one trough measure was missing. The data is reported for participants who received weekly and bi-weekly dosing.	Predose and post dose at multiple timepoints after end of infusion up to Week 32
Treatment-experienced Cohort: Individual Trough Concentration of Total IgG Following IGSC 20% Weekly and Biweekly Administration	IgG Trough 2 = For treatment-experienced participants entering the study on IVIG or Immune Globulin Infusion 10% (Human) with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (HYQVIA), a second IgG trough level was obtained after screening; this was summarized in the visit designated as IgG Trough 2. Week 0 = Participants entering IVIG or HYQVIA, the first IGSC 20% dose was approximately 1 week post last IVIG/HYQVIA dose and so IgG at Week 0 for these participants represented a pre-dose value. For participants entering on all other forms of SCIG, the Week 0 value is true trough.	Screening, IgG Trough 2, Weeks 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 14 (pre-infusion), 15, 16, 20, 24, 28, 30 (pre-infusion) and 32
Treatment-naïve Cohorts: Individual Trough Concentration of Total IgG	Week 0 = Participants entering IVIG or HYQVIA, the first IGSC 20% dose was approximately 1 week post last IVIG/HYQVIA dose and so IgG at Week 0 for these participants represented a pre-dose value. For participants entering on all other forms of SCIG, the Week 0 value is true trough.	Screening, Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32
Treatment-experienced and Treatment-naïve Cohorts: Number of Participants With Serious Bacterial Infection (SBI)		From screening up to final follow up visit at Week 33
Treatment-experienced and Treatment-naïve Cohorts: Rate of Events Per Participant Per Year With Infections of Any Kind as Determined by the Investigator	Rate of events per participant per year was calculated as the total number of events divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants. All infections of any kind included serious/nonserious including acute sinusitis, exacerbation of chronic sinusitis, acute otitis media, pneumonia, acute bronchitis, infectious diarrhea etc.) as determined by the investigator. The data is reported for participants in the treatment-naive cohort and the participants who received weekly and bi-weekly dosing.	From screening up to final follow up visit at Week 33
Treatment-experienced and Treatment-naïve Cohorts: Rate of Events Per Participant Per Year With Validated Infections	Rate of events per participant per year was calculated as the total number of events divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants. A validated treatment-emergent infection was documented by positive radiograph, fever (>38°C oral or >39°C rectal), culture, or diagnostic testing for microorganisms e.g., bacterial, viral, fungal, or protozoal pathogens (e.g., rapid streptococcal antigen detection test). Treatment-emergent infection was defined as an infection with onset on or after first infusion start date/time. The data is reported for participants in the treatment-naive cohort and the participants who received weekly and bi-weekly dosing.	From screening up to final follow up visit at Week 33
Treatment-experienced and Treatment-naïve Cohorts: Rate of Days Per Participant Per Year That Participants Were on Antibiotics	Rate of days per person per year is calculated as the total number of days divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants. Antibiotics included prophylactic and therapeutic. The data is reported for participants in the treatment-naive cohort and the participants who received weekly and bi-weekly dosing.	From screening up to final follow up visit at Week 33
Treatment-experienced and Treatment-naïve Cohorts: Rate of Hospitalizations Per Participant Per Year Due to Infection	Rate of hospitalizations per participant per year was calculated as the total number of events divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants. Hospitalization was considered only in cases of hospital admission (including emergency room stay) for equal or more than 24 hours. The data is reported for participants in the treatment-naive cohort and the participants who received weekly and bi-weekly dosing.	From screening up to final follow up visit at Week 33
