| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Panzyga 10% | Active comparator | Panzyga is a 10% Ig formulation for intravenous (IV) administration. The product is delivered as a ready-to-use solution in glass bottles. Patients in the Panzyga treatment arm will receive 0.4 g/kg (4 mL/kg) per single infusion every 4 weeks for up to 48 weeks (up to 13 infusions).
In the open-label phase patients will receive Panzyga 0.4 g/kg. If 3-4 weeks after the first open-label infusion the IgG trough level falls below 7 g/L, the dose will be increased to 0.6 g/kg. Additionally, the dose may be increased to 0.6 g/kg if a patient experiences one more major infection, or ≥2 other (non-major) infections. Receives: Drug: Panzyga, 10% Intravenous Solution |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Occurrence of Major Infections in Participants
Occurrence of at least one major infection or death in patients with or without primary infection prophylaxis with Panzyga during the treatment period. Each potential infection will be assessed by an Independent Adjudication Committee (IAC). Major infections will be defined as bacterial and/or viral infections, which are microbiologically documented or clinically documented requiring treatment with anti-infective, including those resulting in death, excluding confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Measured: 48 weeks
Secondary outcomes (3)
Time to Major Infections in Participants
Time to first major infection (as assessed by the IAC) during the treatment period or death. The secondary safety endpoints of this study include the incidence of adverse events and changes from baseline in physical examinations and clinical laboratory parameters.
Measured: 48 weeks
Number of Participants Experiencing AEs
Incidents of AEs during the treatment period
Measured: 48 weeks
Participants Experiencing Changes from Baseline in Physical Examinations, and Clinical Laboratory Parameters
Changes from baseline in physical examination findings and clinical laboratory parameters will be assessed during the treatment period. Each parameter will be reported separately according to its unit of measure, such as body weight (kg), height (cm), body mass index (kg/m²), and individual laboratory values (e.g., hemoglobin [g/dL], serum creatinine [mg/dL]). Where applicable, related measurements (e.g., weight and height) will be combined to derive a single parameter, such as body mass index, to ensure consistent and interpretable results.
Measured: 48 Weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Panzyga, 10% Intravenous Solution in people with Hypogammaglobulinemia and Autoimmune Conditions, run by Octapharma at 17 sites in 6 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 5 inclusion and 18 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 17 sites in United States, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Poland and 1 more country. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Theresa Conklin (413-821-0022, t.conklin@crmg-usa.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Occurrence of Major Infections in Participants (time frame: 48 weeks). 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 29 Sep 2026.
