About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Open-label, Single-sequence, Cross-over, Bioequivalence Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of IVIG-PEG Compared to Gamunex-C in Subjects With Primary Humoral Immunodeficiency

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate bioequivalence of IVIG-PEG with Gamunex-C (IVIG-C) at steady-state as determined by comparing total Immunoglobulin G (IgG) area under the concentration-time curve during the defined dosing interval ([AUC0-τ] either every 3 weeks [AUC0-21 days] or every 4 weeks [AUC0-28 days]) and maximum concentration in a dosing interval (Cmax) in participants diagnosed with primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI) currently receiving chronic IVIG replacement treatment.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gamunex-CActive comparatorParticipants received Gamunex-C by means of an infusion pump at a dose of 200 to 800 mg/kg per infusion at an infusion rate of 1 mg/kg/min or up to 8 mg/kg/min depending on participant tolerance. The participant's usual mg/kg dose (given on either a 3 or 4 week repeating schedule) was the same mg/kg dose and schedule that the participant was receiving prior to entering screening. This mg/kg dose and schedule were used throughout the study duration. Gamunex-C was administered every 3 weeks (±4 days) or 4 weeks (±4 days), depending on the participant's prior IVIG dosing schedule. The duration of Gamunex-C treatment included the Gamunex-C PK Phase (up to 4 weeks) plus the additional Gamunex-C Run-in Phase (up to 4.5 months) for participants not receiving Gamunex-C or not on a stable dose of Gamunex-C upon entering the trial. The approximate maximum duration was up to 6 months.
Receives: Biological: Gamunex-C
IVIG-PEGExperimentalParticipants received IVIG-PEG by means of an infusion pump at a dose of 200 to 800 mg/kg per infusion at an infusion rate of 1 mg/kg/min or up to 8 mg/kg/min depending on participant tolerance. IVIG-PEG was administered every 3 weeks (±4 days) or 4 weeks (±4 days), depending on the participant's prior IVIG dosing schedule. The duration of IVIG-PEG treatment included the IVIG-PEG Treatment Phase (up to 4.5 months) and the IVIG-PEG PK Phase (up to 4 weeks), for an approximate maximum of up to 6 months.
Receives: Biological: IVIG-PEG

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC (0-7): Area Under the Concentration Time Curve Over a Dosing Interval of Either Every 3 Weeks [AUC0-21 Days] or Every 4 Weeks [AUC0-28 Days] for Total Immunoglobulin G (IgG)

    AUC (0-7 days) is calculated as AUC (0-21 days)/3 for subjects with a dosing frequency of every 3 weeks and as AUC(0-28 days)/4 for subjects with a dosing frequency of every 4 weeks.

    Measured: Pre-dose, within 10 minutes of last infusion completion, at 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 hours and 4, 7, 14 and 21 days (up to 3 weeks), and 28 days (up to 4 weeks - only for subjects on a 4-week dosing schedule) post-infusion

  2. Cmax: Maximum Concentration in a Dosing Interval for Total IgG

    Measured: Pre-dose, within 10 minutes of last infusion completion, at 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 hours, and 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post-infusion (up to 4 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate of Serious Bacterial Infections (SBIs)

    The rate of SBI events per participant per year during treatment was calculated as the total number of SBI events divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants. The 2-sided 98% confidence interval (CI) was determined from a generalized linear model for Poisson regression for the log-transformed number of events with log-transformed duration of exposure in years as an offset variable.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months for each period, i.e., overall GC treatment phase and overall IVIG-PEG treatment phase with an aggregate duration of up to 12 months

  2. Rate of Events Per Participant Per Year in Participants With Any Kind of Infection

    Rate of events per participant per year is calculated as the total number of events divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants. Any kind of infections included serious/nonserious including acute sinusitis, exacerbation of chronic sinusitis, acute otitis media, pneumonia, acute bronchitis, infectious diarrhea etc.) as determined by the Investigator.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months for each period, i.e., overall GC treatment phase and overall IVIG-PEG treatment phase with an aggregate duration of up to 12 months

  3. Rate of Days Per Person Per Year That Participants Were on Antibiotics

    Rate of days per person per year is calculated as the total number of days divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants. Antibiotics included prophylactic and therapeutic.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months for each period, i.e., overall GC treatment phase and overall IVIG-PEG treatment phase with an aggregate duration of up to 12 months

  4. Number of Participants Hospitalized Due to Infection

    Hospitalization was considered only in cases of hospital admission (including emergency room stay) for equal or more than 24 hours.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months for each period, i.e., overall GC treatment phase and overall IVIG-PEG treatment phase with an aggregate duration of up to 12 months

  5. Rate of Days of Work/School/Daily Activities Missed Per Participant Due to Infections and Their Treatment

    Rate of days per person per year is calculated as the total number of days divided by the total duration of exposure in years across all participants.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months for each period, i.e., overall GC treatment phase and overall IVIG-PEG treatment phase with an aggregate duration of up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Gamunex-C and IVIG-PEG in people with Primary Immunodeficiency, run by Grifols Therapeutics LLC at 10 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 19 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 5 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 5 Jun 2023). 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?

AUC (0-7): Area Under the Concentration Time Curve Over a Dosing Interval of Either Every 3 Weeks [AUC0-21 Days] or Every 4 Weeks [AUC0-28 Days] for Total Immunoglobulin G (IgG) (time frame: Pre-dose, within 10 minutes of last infusion completion, at 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 hours and 4, 7, 14 and 21 days (up to 3 weeks), and 28 days (up to 4 weeks - only for subjects on a 4-week dosing schedule) post-infusion). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Jun 2023.
