Study summary

Phase 3 multicenter, open-label study of safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ProMetic's Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) 10%, the investigational medicinal product [IMP]), in Adults and Children with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PIDD).

Read the detailed description

This is a pivotal Phase 3, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study to assess the tolerability, safety, efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of the Investigational Medicinal Product in adults and children with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PIDD). A total of approximately 75 subjects aged 2-80 years will be enrolled in the study. Subjects who switch from an investigational immune globulin or subcutaneous immune globulin (IGSC) are required to receive a stable dose of commercial product (CP), which is a licensed commercially available immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) product for at least 3 cycles before they can be given the Investigational Medicinal Product . This study schema will result in the Commercial Product Treatment Period and Investigational Medicinal Product Treatment Period. All subjects will be treated on an outpatient basis with the Investigational Medicinal Product for approximately 1 year, with the dose and schedule based on their previous IGIV treatment regimen (21-day or 28-day dosing interval). A subset of subjects will participate in a Pharmacokinetics sub-study.

The primary objective of the study is to examine the rate of clinically documented serious bacterial infections (SBIs) in subjects treated with the Investigational Medicinal Product to achieve a rate of less than one SBI per year.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Annual Rate of Occurrence of Serious Bacterial Infections (SBI)

    SBIs were calculated for each subject as 52n/w, where n is the number of reported SBIs and w is the number of weeks on study. For the combined cohorts only, a 99% one-sided (upper) confidence limit for the incidence rate of SBIs (scaled to represent 12 months exposure if necessary) was derived, and the objective of demonstrating that the true infection rate was below 1 per subject per year was considered established if this upper limit was less than 1. To calculate the confidence limit, a negative binomial regression model will be used. This model includes an overdispersion parameter to account for possible intra-subject correlation as well as the actual time period each subject is on the study as an offset variable.

    Time frame: One year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Trough Levels of IgG (Total) Prior to Each Prometic IGIV 10% Infusion

    Subject's total IgG levels will be assessed prior to each Prometic IGIV 10% infusion
