Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication in the areas of effectiveness, side effects, and convenience of administration of each medication in Primary Immunodeficiency Disorder (PIDD) subjects transitioning from subcutaneous Vivaglobin® to Hizentra®.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders Drug: Hizentra Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
This trial will evaluate subjects with Primary Immunodeficiency Disorder (PIDD) who are currently self-infusing Vivaglobin therapy for at least six months prior to changing to Hizentra® therapy. Following screening and enrollment, subjects will continue to self-infuse Vivaglobin® for seven infusions and then be converted to subcutaneous Hizentra® treatment which they will continue for the next 6 months. The study will determine if Hizentra® provides improved subject satisfaction by Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication. Diaries related to the local site reactions, the number of infusion sites per subject/per dose, volume of Hizentra® per site, duration of infusions, systemic side effects of the new medication and dose on IgG levels and antibody titers, and local site reactions with Hizentra®.

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To measure the changes in the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication in PIDD subjects transitioning from subcutaneous Vivaglobin® to Hizentra®. [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ]
    Subjects complete the TSQM at each study visit


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To compare the incidence of local site reactions in subjects self-infusing with Vivaglobin® transitioning to Hizentra®. [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ]
    Study subjects complete a weekly infusion diary that is collected at each study visit.

  2. To compare the steady state IgG levels in subjects self-infusing with Vivaglobin® transitioning to Hizentra®. [ Time Frame: 32 weeks ]
    IgG levels are obtained at each visit.
