Abstract
Purpose
Facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG; immune globulin infusion 10% [human] with recombinant human hyaluronidase [rHuPH20]) permits high-volume subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) infusion, shorter infusion times and reduced dosing frequency relative to conventional SCIG. It is initiated by gradually increasing infusion volumes over time (dose ramp-up) to achieve target dose level (TDL). Whether ramp-up strategies have tolerability or safety advantages over direct initiation at full TDL has not been evaluated clinically.
Methods
This phase 1 open-label study assessed tolerability and safety of fSCIG 10% with accelerated or no ramp-up compared with conventional ramp-up in healthy adults (NCT04578535). Participants were assigned to one of the three ramp-up arms to achieve TDLs of 0.4 or 1.0 g/kg/infusion. The primary endpoint was the proportion of infusions completed without interruption or infusion rate reduction owing to treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Safety was assessed as a secondary endpoint.
Results
Of 51 participants enrolled, 50 (98.0%) tolerated all fSCIG 10% infusions initiated (n = 174). Infusion rate was reduced in one participant owing to headache in the 0.4 g/kg/infusion conventional ramp-up arm. Study discontinuations were higher in the no ramp-up arm (70%) versus the conventional (0%) and accelerated (22%) arms at the 1.0 g/kg/infusion TDL. Safety outcomes did not substantially differ between treatment arms.
Conclusion
The favorable tolerability and safety profiles of fSCIG 10% in healthy participants support initiating treatment with fSCIG 10% with accelerated ramp-up at TDLs up to 1.0 g/kg. Data support no ramp-up at TDLs close to 0.4 g/kg but additional data are needed for higher doses.
