This study will compare the blood level of Gamunex in patients. Patients will take it as an injection under the skin or in a vein. The study will compare how safe and tolerable the two methods are in the patients. The patients in this study have a defect in their immune system from a genetic cause.
This is an open-label, single-sequence, multi-center trial with subjects previously diagnosed with primary immune deficiency. Subjects will be on IGIV until a steady state is reached at which time PK profiling during the IV phase will occur. Subjects will begin SC administration 1 week following last IV dose and followed for a period of six months. PK profiling in SC phase will occur when subject reaches approximate steady-state on SC administration.

This trial was an open-label, single-sequence, study. The enrolled subjects received IGIV-C via two routes of administration (IV for 4 -5 weeks and SC for 24 weeks) in order to compare the PK variables, safety and tolerability of SC administration of IGIV-C. Certain subjects required IV IGIV-C dosing during a Run-in Phase (3 - 4 months) for steady-state conditions prior to the IV phase. Subjects received two IV infusions of IGIV (between 200 - 600 mg based on the subject's previous IgG dosing regimen, 3 to 4 weeks apart) until a steady-state was reached at which time PK profiling was performed. Subjects began weekly SC administration (1.37 times the weekly equivalency of each subject's monthly IV dose) 1 week following last IV dose and followed for a period of six months.
