Trial summary

This study will compare the blood level of Gamunex in patients. Patients will take it as an injection under the skin or in a vein. The study will compare how safe and tolerable the two methods are in the patients. The patients in this study have a defect in their immune system from a genetic cause. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Single-Sequence, Crossover Trial to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Subcutaneous Gamunex® 10% (Immune Globulin Intravenous [Human], 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified) in Subjects With Primary Immunodeficiency

This study will compare the blood level of Gamunex in patients. Patients will take it as an injection under the skin or in a vein. The study will compare how safe and tolerable the two methods are in the patients. The patients in this study have a defect in their immune system from a genetic cause.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single-sequence, multi-center trial with subjects previously diagnosed with primary immune deficiency. Subjects will be on IGIV until a steady state is reached at which time PK profiling during the IV phase will occur. Subjects will begin SC administration 1 week following last IV dose and followed for a period of six months. PK profiling in SC phase will occur when subject reaches approximate steady-state on SC administration.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)Biological

    Also called Gamunex, Gaminex, Immune globulin intravenous (Human)(IGIV), BAY 41-1000

    This trial was an open-label, single-sequence, study. The enrolled subjects received IGIV-C via two routes of administration (IV for 4 -5 weeks and SC for 24 weeks) in order to compare the PK variables, safety and tolerability of SC administration of IGIV-C. Certain subjects required IV IGIV-C dosing during a Run-in Phase (3 - 4 months) for steady-state conditions prior to the IV phase. Subjects received two IV infusions of IGIV (between 200 - 600 mg based on the subject's previous IgG dosing regimen, 3 to 4 weeks apart) until a steady-state was reached at which time PK profiling was performed. Subjects began weekly SC administration (1.37 times the weekly equivalency of each subject's monthly IV dose) 1 week following last IV dose and followed for a period of six months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Geometric Least Square Means of Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Plasma Total Immunoglobulin G (IgG)

    Geometric least-squares mean of steady-state plasma concentration of total IgG vs. time profile (AUC).

    Measured: IV Phase (21 or 28 days) at IV Visit #1, pre- and post-dose: 0 hr., 1 hr., and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days; SC Phase at Week #17, pre- and post-dose: 0 hr., and 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) in people with Immunologic Deficiency Syndrome, run by Grifols Therapeutics LLC at 8 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Dec 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Geometric Least Square Means of Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Plasma Total Immunoglobulin G (IgG) (time frame: IV Phase (21 or 28 days) at IV Visit #1, pre- and post-dose: 0 hr., 1 hr., and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days; SC Phase at Week #17, pre- and post-dose: 0 hr., and 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2015.
