dosingPatient profilesThe first and only IVIg treatment study to evaluate different maintenance dosing options for CIDP in adults1Prospective, double-blind, randomized, multicenter phase 3 study design1,2 Patient population
  • 18 to 83 years of age (25% of patients aged >65 years) 
  • Patients with CIDP treated with IVIg or corticosteroids 
  • Weakness of ≥2 limbs 
  • Adjusted INCAT disability score between 2 and 9*
 Washout phase: ≤12 weeks (IVIg/corticosteroids)
  • Deterioration of CIDP: decrease in PGIC score and ≥1 of the following:
    • Increase in INCAT disability score of ≥1
    • Decrease in grip strength of ≥8 kPa in one hand
    • I-RODS MCID-SE (cutoff of –1.96 or less)

LoadingEfficacy endpoints in the PANZYGA CIDP study1,2 Primary endpoint
  • Adjusted INCAT responder rate for the PANZYGA 1 g/kg treatment arm at 6 months relative to baseline
  • Responders were defined as patients with a decrease of at least 1 point on the adjusted INCAT disability score relative to baseline
 Supporting efficacy endpoints
  • Adjusted INCAT responder rate for the PANZYGA 2 g/kg treatment arm at 6 months relative to baseline
  • For the 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg treatment arms:
    • Time to INCAT response
    • I-RODS, Grip Strength, and MRC Sum Score responder rates

LoadingA score of 2 comes exclusively from leg disability.2If patients in the 0.5 g/kg or 1 g/kg arms were either deteriorating at a 3-week interval after week 3 and before week 18 or not improving at week 6, they were given 2 consecutive blinded doses of 2 g/kg 3 weeks apart. Their improvement was assessed with a study end visit 3 weeks after the second rescue dose, and then they were discontinued. Patients in the 2 g/kg arm who were either deteriorating at a 3-week interval after week 3 and before week 18 or not improving at week 6 were discontinued.2Since previous placebo-controlled studies have already been done, it was not considered ethically justified to conduct further placebo-controlled studies.2

INDICATIONS AND USAGE PANZYGA (Immune Globulin Intravenous [Human] - ifas) is indicated for the treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI) in patients 2 years of age and older; this includes, but is not limited to, congenital agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency, X-linked agammaglobulinemia, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and severe combined immunodeficiencies; chronic immune thrombocytopenia (cITP) in adults to raise platelet counts to control or prevent bleeding; and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in adults to improve neuromuscular disability and impairment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: THROMBOSIS, RENAL DYSFUNCTION, AND ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
  • Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) products, including PANZYGA. Risk factors may include: advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors.
  • Renal dysfunction, acute renal failure, osmotic nephrosis, and death may occur in predisposed patients who receive IGIV products, including PANZYGA. Patients predisposed to renal dysfunction include those with a degree of pre-existing renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, age greater than 65, volume depletion, sepsis, paraproteinemia, or patients receiving known nephrotoxic drugs. Renal dysfunction and acute renal failure occur more commonly in patients receiving IGIV products containing sucrose. PANZYGA does not contain sucrose.
  • For patients at risk of thrombosis, renal dysfunction, or acute renal failure, administer PANZYGA at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity. [see Full Prescribing Information, Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.4)]
 Contraindications PANZYGA is contraindicated in patients who have a history of severe systemic hypersensitivity reactions, such as anaphylaxis, to human immunoglobulin and in IgA-deficient patients with antibodies against IgA and history of hypersensitivity. Warnings and Precautions Monitor renal function, including blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine, and urine output in patients at risk of developing acute renal failure. Hyperproteinemia, increased serum osmolarity, and hyponatremia may occur in patients receiving PANZYGA. Aseptic meningitis syndrome may occur in patients receiving PANZYGA, especially with high doses or rapid infusion. Hemolysis that is either intravascular or due to enhanced red blood cell sequestration can develop subsequent to PANZYGA treatments. Risk factors for hemolysis include high doses and non-O-blood group. Closely monitor patients for hemolysis and hemolytic anemia. Monitor patients for pulmonary adverse reactions (transfusion-related acute lung injury [TRALI]). Monitor blood pressure prior to, during, and following PANZYGA infusion. Carefully consider the relative risks and benefits before prescribing the high dose regimen (for cITP) in patients at increased risk of volume overload. PANZYGA is made from human plasma and may contain infectious agents, e.g. viruses and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease agent. Adverse Reactions PI – The most common adverse reactions (>5% study subjects) were headache, nausea, fever, fatigue, and abdominal pain. cITP in adults – The most common adverse reactions (>5% study subjects) were headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and anemia. CIDP in adults – The most common adverse reactions (>5% study subjects) were headache, fever, dermatitis, and blood pressure increase. The risk information provided here is not comprehensive; see full Prescribing Information and Boxed Warning for PANZYGA.
