2 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST The Art of IgG Replacement in Treating Primary Immunodeficiency Patients

3 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE THERAPEUTIC USE OF GAMMAGLOBULIN 1952 - Treatment of agammaglobulinemia with IM immunoglobulin G (IgG) 1966 - Plasma therapy using a “buddy” system 1969 - Pepsin-digested Ig for IV use 1975 - Initial studies of Ig for use by IV route 1981 – Approval of IGIV for use in primary immune deficiencies 1994 – Transmission of hepatitis C by IGIV FDA and GMP introduce solvent/detergent, pasteurization, caprylate to prevent transmission of lipid envelope viruses 1999 – Renal failure by sucrose-containing IGIV products 2000 – CJD/new-variant prion disease Quarantine of IGIV product produces a shortage Nanofiltration introduced to remove prions 2002 – MedWatch for thrombotic events CJD = Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; FDA = Food and Drug AdministratIon; GMP = good manufacturing practices; IGIV = intravenous immunoglobulin G; IV = intravenous.

4 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST IGIV COMPOSITION Donor pool –Derived from 2,000-10,000 donors may be as much as 60,000 donors Composition –Monomeric IgG (>95%) with small amounts of dimeric and polymeric IgG 1 –Small amounts of IgM and IgA present; varies with product Antibody content –One gram of IGIV contains 4x10 18 molecules of antibody –>107 specificities to a broad range of bacterial and viral pathogens Stabilized with sugars or amino acids; differs for each product 1. Rütter A, Luger TA. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;44(6):1010-24. IgA = immunoglobulin A; IgG = immunoglobulin G; IgM = immunoglobulin M; IGIV = intravenous immunoglobulin G.

5 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST DOSES OF IGIV FOR PIDD Early studies compared IGIV with IGIM –IM dose: 0.6 cc/kg (~100 mg/kg/mo) –Initial recommendation for IGIV was 200 mg/kg/mo for first IGIV products Late 1980s (Roifman): IgG trough serum levels ≥500 mg/dL reduced frequency of infection and improved pulmonary function 1,2 Recommendation modified in early 1990 to 400 mg/kg to achieve a trough level of ≥500 mg/dl 1. Roifman CM, Gelfand EW. Pediatr Infect Dis J 1988;7(5, suppl):S92-6. 2. Roifman CM, et al. Lancet 1987;i(8541):1075-7. IgG = immunoglobulin G; IGIM = intramuscular immunoglobulin G; IGIV = intravenous immunoglobulin G; IM = intramuscular; PIDD = primary immunodeficiency disease.

6 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST DOSES OF IGIV FOR PIDD (cont) Quartier et al (Fisher et al) 1 –Retrospective study of patients with x-linked agammaglobulinemia (Bruton’s disease) –Incidence of bacterial infections requiring hospitalization fell from 0.4 to 0.06 per patient per year Serum IgG trough levels >500 mg/dL were effective in preventing severe acute bacterial infections –Patients still developed enteroviral meningoencephalitis and chronic pulmonary disease Authors recommended a higher dose to maintain a higher serum IgG trough level (eg, >750 mg/dL to prevent enteroviral disease) 1. Quartier P, et al. J Pediatr 1999;134(5):589-96. IgG = immunoglobulin G; IGIV = intravenous immunoglobulin G; PIDD = primary immunodeficiency disease.

Clin Immunol 2010;137:21-30. CI = confidence interval; IRR = incidence rate ratio; IgG = immunoglobulin G; IGIV = intravenous immunoglobulin G; IRR = incidence rate ratio.

J Allergy Clin Immunol 2008;122(1)210-2. *Time at which authors assumed care of this patient. IgG = immunoglobulin G; IGIV = intravenous immunoglobulin G; P = pneumonia; S = acute sinusitis.

9 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST SUMMARY: DOSE OF IGIV FOR PATIENTS WITH ANTIBODY DEFICIENCY 400-600 mg/kg/infusion every 4 weeks 1 –Adjust dose and/or interval (q 2-3 weeks) depending on clinical response –In patients starting with higher serum IgG levels, a rough goal is a serum trough level equal to pretreatment levels plus 300 mg/dL Follow clinical response; don’t treat the “numbers” –“Biologic trough levels” for better clinical efficacy –Patients with bronchiectasis require higher dosing 2 When changing the dose, it may take several (3) infusions to equilibrate to a new trough 3 Consider the SC route to eliminate trough levels 1. Orange JS, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2006;117(suppl):S525-3. 2. Lucas M, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2010;125(6):1345-60. 3. Lehman HK, Ballow M. In: Leung DYM, et al, eds.

11 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST IgG DOSING: IGSC vs IGIV US FDA –To achieve AUC bioequivalence, IGSC must be dosed higher than IGIV 1-3 10% and 16% products – 137% of IV dose 20% product – 153% of IV dose European Medicines Agency 4 –IGSC is to be dosed at 100% of the IGIV dose 1.

12 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST MECHANISM OF ACTION OF rHuPH20 1,2 Hyaluronan forms a barrier to bulk movement of molecules in the interstitial space Focal depolymerization of hyaluronan increases hydraulic conductivity in the interstitium and rates of infusion/injection Reversible change by virtue of short enzyme half-life and rapid endogenous substrate turnover in the skin Increased dispersion decreases residence time in the interstitium More rapid uptake leads to better pharmacokinetics resulting in increased bioavailability 1. Day TD. J Physiol 1952;117:1-8. 2. Bookbinder LH, et al. J Controlled Release 2006;114:230-41.

13 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST IGSC VS IgHY INFUSION IGSC Site 15 mL IGSC + rHuPH20 (IGHy) (approx. 300 mL IgG liquid 10% + rHuPH20) IGHy IGSC = subcutaneous immunoglobulin G.

14 IMMUNOLOGY AND ALLERGY CLINICS WEBCAST PHARMACOKINETICS OF ENZYME-FACILITATED IGSC INFUSION (ANIMAL MODEL) rHuPH20 increases C max and decreases T max for large-molecule therapeutics More rapid absorption (Ka) results in shorter residence time and increased systemic bioavailability Concentrations of radiolabeled IgG1 (10 mg/kg) administered via IV, SC, or SC + rHuPH20 in rodent model. Gamma counting expressed as counts per minute per mL of blood.
