New treatment option for Immunodeficiencies
Official title V-IMMUNE: A Novel Immunoglobulin Therapy for Immunodeficiency
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06954441
What this study is testing
What is Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)?
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is an investigational medicine, given as a monthly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for immunodeficiencies.
Also referred to as V-IMMUNE.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a phase III, non-randomized clinical trial (VIP Study) designed to assess the safety and efficacy of V-IMMUNE®, a 5% human normal immunoglobulin preparation, in approximately 50 patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID). Participants, all aged ≥2 years and already receiving IVIG therapy, will be switched to V-IMMUNE® at a dose of 600 mg/kg every three weeks via intravenous infusion.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Time commitment: about 1 year
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
