Study summary

Patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment may experience adverse events (AEs). Patients who experience AEs on any 10% IVIG solution will be changed to octagam 5% for six infusions to evaluate the potential benefit for reduction of AEs on a lower concentration IVIG product.

Read the detailed description

Patients with PID require life long immunoglobulin (Ig) replacement therapy with IVIG being the most common form. As more 10% IVIG products are FDA approved, the older and well characterized 5% IVIG products are becoming less used. Currently, the standard of care for patients who experience AEs on IVIG is to move to a subcutaneous (SCIG) delivery and product. This study will evaluate the AEs on a 10% product and octagam 5%. The study will enroll 15 patients after an AE on any 10% product who will then be infused with octagam 5% for six infusions. AEs will be documented and compared to the 10% product along with changes in biomarkers. The study data may document another therapeutic option for patients who experience AEs - SCIG and octagam 5%.

Study population

Diagnosis of PID - specifically common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants, or legal guardians with assent by underage children, will sign /assent and are willing to comply with all aspects of the study
  • Diagnosis of CVID according IUIS Expert Committee
  • Participants on a 10% product who experience AEs
  • Ages between 10 and 75 years of age
  • Participants on 10% IVIG therapy every 21±3 days or 28±3 days between 300 - 800 mg/Kg body weight

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Acute infection requiring antibiotic therapy within 7 days prior to visit 1
  • Presence of any condition that is likely to interfere with the evaluation of the study medication or satisfactory conduct of the trial
  • History of anaphylactic or severe systemic reactions to human immunoglobulin
  • IgA deficient patients with antibodies against IgA and a history of
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The change in the number of AEs post-infusion between any 10% IVIG product and octagam 5%

    Time frame: AEs will be documented at screening and up to 72 hours post-infusion for six infusions up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. The change in levels of inflammatory biomarkers associated with AEs between any 10% IVIG and octagam 5%

    Time frame: Levels will be documented at screening and up to 72 hours post-infusion for six infusions up to 24 weeks

  2. Safety Evaluations (complete blood count [CBC])

    CBC

    Time frame: Screening and prior to each infusion (six infusions total) up to 24 weeks

  3. Safety evaluations (Complete Metabolic profile[CMP])

    CMP

    Time frame: Screening and prior to each infusion (six infusions total) up to 24 weeks

  4. Safety evaluations (IgG trough level)

    IgG trough level

    Time frame: Screening and prior to last infusion up to 24 weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jun 2015 to primary completion in Nov 2016, 17 months.

Of 50 observational studies under Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases, half reached primary completion within 72 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 30. This study's 17 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 13, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
