Abstract
Aim: This retrospective study investigated real-world hyaluronidase-facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG) treatment patterns in pediatric patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) in Poland. Methods: Clinical and demographic information, fSCIG treatment parameters and clinical outcomes were extracted from medical records of 28 participants (aged ≤18 years) with PIDs who received fSCIG. Results: 18 participants (64.3%) started fSCIG with a ramp-up (median duration: 35.5 days). 27 patients (96.4%) were administered fSCIG every 4 weeks and one patient every 3 weeks. 25 patients (89.3%) used one infusion site. No serious bacterial infections occurred. Conclusion: Data support the feasibility of administering fSCIG to children and adolescents with PIDs every 3-4 weeks using a single infusion site and indicate flexibility in modifying fSCIG infusion parameters. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04636502 (ClinicalTrials.gov).
期刊介绍:
Many aspects of the immune system and mechanisms of immunomodulatory therapies remain to be elucidated in order to exploit fully the emerging opportunities. Those involved in the research and clinical applications of immunotherapy are challenged by the huge and intricate volumes of knowledge arising from this fast-evolving field. The journal Immunotherapy offers the scientific community an interdisciplinary forum, providing them with information on the most recent advances of various aspects of immunotherapies, in a concise format to aid navigation of this complex field.
Immunotherapy delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for this vitally important area of research. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal''s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3.
