Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00424489 ↗ Hematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy for Patients With Refractory Myasthenia Gravis Terminated Northwestern University Phase 1 2002-02-01 MG may be neonatal, congenital, or autoimmune. Neonatal MG arises from transplacental transfer of ACh receptor antibodies from a mother with autoimmune MG to the fetus. Neonatal MG resolves with post delivery clearance of maternal antibodies. Congenital MG results from a genetic defect in the ACh receptor. Patients with congenital MG do not have ACh receptor antibodies. Both neonatal and congenital MG are excluded from this study. Autoimmune MG, which is the most common form of MG, affects approximately 25,000 Americans. Like most autoimmune diseases, it is associated with particular HLA genotypes, has a female predominance, and environmental factors involved in breaking tolerance to the ACh receptor are unknown. Patients with refractory and severe autoimmune MG will be considered candidates for this study. The purpose of this study is to assess the toxicity/feasibility (phase I) of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for refractory myasthenia gravis.
NCT01218438 ↗ Phase 2/3 Study of IGSC, 20% in PIDD Completed Baxalta now part of Shire Phase 2/Phase 3 2013-01-28 The purpose of this study is to develop a 20% subcutaneous (SC) immunoglobulin preparation for the treatment of patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDD).
NCT01218438 ↗ Phase 2/3 Study of IGSC, 20% in PIDD Completed Baxalta US Inc. Phase 2/Phase 3 2013-01-28 The purpose of this study is to develop a 20% subcutaneous (SC) immunoglobulin preparation for the treatment of patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDD).
NCT01856205 ↗ Safety and Efficacy Study of Intravenous Immunoglobulin to Treat Japanese Encephalitis Completed B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences Phase 2 2009-05-01 Japanese encephalitis is caused by a viral infection of the brain transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. Patients with Japanese encephalitis can rapidly develop worsening conscious level and seizures. Around a third will die from the infection and half of survivors have serious long-term neurological disability. The majority of those affected are children. There are many causes of viral encephalitis, however Japanese encephalitis virus is the most common cause worldwide with over 60,000 cases annually. It occurs over much of Asia and the geographical range is expanding. There is no specific treatment for Japanese encephalitis virus, although several have been trialed. In this study we examined the effect of a new treatment, called intravenous immunoglobulin, on children with Japanese encephalitis in Nepal. Prior studies have suggested intravenous immunoglobulin may neutralize Japanese encephalitis virus and suppress damaging inflammation in the brain. It has previously been used in individual cases but never examined in a randomized trial. There was recently a trial of IVIG in West Nile encephalitis in the United States, in which Professor Solomon was on the Scientific Advisory Committee. In this study we will look if intravenous immunoglobulin is safe in this context, and that this treatment may alter the way the immune system manages the infection. Therefore, in this pilot study we will test the hypothesis that IVIG can be safely given to children with suspected JE, with no increased risk of serious adverse events compared with placebo. The aim of this proposal is to conduct a pilot safety and tolerability randomized placebo controlled trial of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in patients with Japanese encephalitis, to explore the relationship between JEV viral load, pro-inflammatory markers called cytokines and blood brain barrier markers, and the effect of IVIG on these relationships.

NCT02271165 ↗ Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (Hizentra) in Patients With Dermatomyositis: A Proof of Concept Study Terminated Thomas Jefferson University Early Phase 1 2014-11-01 The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of human immunoglobulin SCIg in the form of Hizentra (Immune globulin Subcutaneous) in patients with Dermatomyositis. Hizentra provides effective protection against infection by maintaining a steady and normal level of immunoglobulin in the body) in patients with primary immunodeficiency. At present, patients with steroid resistant dermatomyositis can only be treated with IVIg (The healthy antibodies in IVIG can block the damaging antibodies that attack muscle and skin in dermatomyositis) treatment. An evaluation can then be made to see if SCIg is a suitable replacement and exerts immunomodulatory effect on complement antibodies.

Introduction to Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human)

Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), often abbreviated as SCIg, is a form of immunoglobulin therapy administered subcutaneously, or beneath the skin. This method is crucial for treating various immunodeficiency diseases by supplementing deficient antibodies and enhancing the immune response.

Clinical Trials Overview

Several clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human).

Study Design and Objectives

A notable study involved Japanese participants with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) treated with a 20% solution of Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human)[1][4].

  • Part 1: Participants received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) every 3 or 4 weeks for 13 weeks.
  • Part 2: Participants switched to weekly subcutaneous infusions of IGSC, 20% for 24 weeks.
  • Part 3: A subset of participants received biweekly subcutaneous infusions of IGSC, 20% for 12 weeks.
  • The primary objective was to assess the base levels of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the blood after weekly and biweekly treatments.

Key Findings

  • The study demonstrated that serum total IgG trough levels were maintained above 8 g/L during both weekly and biweekly subcutaneous infusions[4].
  • The treatment was well-tolerated, with mild adverse events such as injection site swelling and erythema being the most common.
  • This trial highlighted the efficacy and favorable safety profile of 20% subcutaneous immunoglobulin administered every 2 weeks in adult and pediatric patients with PIDs.
