A Phase 3, Randomized, Active-controlled, Single-blind Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Fibrin Sealant Grifols in Achieving Hemostasis in Pediatric Surgery.

Background: In this study, two fibrin sealant products, Fibrin Sealant Grifols (FS Grifols 80 mg/mL fibrinogen; 500 IU/mL thrombin) and Evicel (fibrinogen 55-85 mg/mL; thrombin 800-1200 IU/mL) were studied for efficacy in achieving hemostasis at a targeted bleeding site (TBS) on parenchymous or soft tissue in pediatric surgeries.

Methods: This phase 3, single-blind, active comparator, non-inferiority trial compared the number of patients achieving hemostasis at a TBS at four (T - primary endpoint), seven (T) and 10 (T) minutes after application, Safety and tolerability were assessed by recording adverse events during and after procedures. Eligible patients were <18 years old undergoing elective, open, non-cardiac thoracic, abdominal or pelvic surgeries.

Subcutaneous anti-COVID-19 hyperimmune immunoglobulin for prevention of disease in asymptomatic individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial.

Background: Anti-COVID-19 hyperimmune immunoglobulin (hIG) can provide standardized and controlled antibody content. Data from controlled clinical trials using hIG for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 outpatients have not been reported. We assessed the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous anti-COVID-19 hyperimmune immunoglobulin 20% (C19-IG20%) compared to placebo in preventing development of symptomatic COVID-19 in asymptomatic individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of a novel fibrinogen concentrate in pediatric patients with congenital afibrinogenemia.

Introduction: Congenital afibrinogenemia treatment with plasma-derived fibrinogen concentrates in pediatric patients is limited. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics, surrogate efficacy, and safety of a plasma-derived fibrinogen concentrate (FIB Grifols) in pediatric patients with congenital afibrinogenemia.

Methods: Patients aged <18 years old diagnosed with congenital afibrinogenemia were included in this prospective, multinational, phase 1-2, single-arm study.

Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Corticosteroid-Sparing Effects of Immunoglobulin in Myasthenia Gravis.

Background And Objectives: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by dysfunction at the neuromuscular junction. Treatment frequently includes corticosteroids (CSs) and IV immunoglobulin (IVIG). This study was conducted to determine whether immune globulin (human), 10% caprylate/chromatography purified (IGIV-C) could facilitate CS dose reduction in CS-dependent patients with MG.
