This prospective, Phase III study assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of immune globulin subcutaneous, human - klhw 20% solution (IGSC-C 20%) in participants with primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI), compared with immune globulin injection (human), 10% caprylate/chromatography purified (IGIV-C 10%). About 53 participants enrolled. Total 44 received IGIV-C 10% in the run-in phase and then entered the IV phase (with an additional nine who were already receiving IGIV-C 10% and entered the IV phase directly) for steady-state IV PK assessments. Total 49 entered the SC phase (weekly doses of IGSC-C 20% for ∼24 weeks). The PK profiles of IGIV-C 10% and IGSC-C 20% and their safety and tolerability parameters were compared. At a dose adjustment factor of 1.37, IGSC-C 20% provided comparable (noninferior and bioequivalent) overall total immunoglobulin G exposure to IGIV-C 10% over an equal time interval. About 33 participants reported 79 adverse events during run-in + IV phases; 41 participants reported 141 adverse events during the SC phase, with most being local infusion site reactions. The majority of infusion site reactions were mild to moderate in severity. IGSC-C 20% was bioequivalent to IGIV-C 10% and was well tolerated, with a safety profile comparable with IGIV-C 10%, in this study. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02604810.

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.

Immune globulin subcutaneous, human 20% solution (IGSC-C 20%, Xembify®)-a new 20% immunoglobulin (IgG) liquid product for subcutaneous (SC) administration-has been developed by Grifols. The IGSC-C 20% formulation is based on knowledge acquired from the formulation of Immune Globulin Injection (Human),10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGIV-C 10%, Gamunex®-C). The protein concentration was increased from 10% to 20% to provide a smaller volume for SC administration.

Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting neuromuscular transmission. Exacerbations may involve increasing bulbar weakness and/or sudden respiratory failure, both of which can be critically disabling. Management of MG exacerbations includes plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG); they are equally effective, but patients experience fewer side effects with IVIG.
