ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To demonstrate the bioequivalence between 2 intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) preparations, TEGELINE® and ClairYg®, a ready-to-use 5% IVIG, in primary immunodeficiency (PID). Secondary objectives were to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ClairYg®.METHODS:
Twenty-two adult PID patients receiving stable doses of TEGELINE® (5% lyophilized IVIG) were switched to ClairYg® for 6 months. ClairYg® was administered under the same conditions as TEGELINE®, either every 3 or 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was mean average total IgG trough level at steady state with ClairYg® versus TEGELINE®. Clinical efficacy was also assessed in terms of infections and associated events.RESULTS:
Bioequivalence was established with a mean average total IgG trough level at steady state being 8.05g/L with TEGELINE® and 9.17g/L with ClairYg® (i.e. geometric mean for the difference between ClairYg® and TEGELINE® was 1.136; [90% CI 1.092-1.181] P<0.001), within the pre-specified margin to establish bioequivalence (0.80-1.25). Total IgG trough levels remained clinically adequate (>4-6g/L) throughout the study. No patient was hospitalized for infection or had serious bacterial infections while receiving ClairYg®. The median annualized infections rate per patient was similar for both products 4.35 [0; 21.8] for TEGELINE® and 4.30 [0; 15.1] for ClairYg®. Infections were less common with higher IgG trough levels (>8.16g/L). ClairYg® showed good safety, in particular good hepatic and renal tolerance, and did not induce hemolysis. ClairYg® pharmacokinetics profile was comparable to that of TEGELINE®.CONCLUSION:
ClairYg® is safe and effective in the treatment of adult PID.Palavras-chave
