The main objective of the study is to determine the pharmacokinetics profile of Subgam-VF. The secondary objectives are to assess the safety of Subgam-VF and refine the dose adjustment coefficient for Subgam-VF needed for subjects switching from prior intravenous immunoglobulin (IGIV) therapy.
This will be a Phase III, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized study. Following a screening period, eligible subjects will commence weekly Subgam-VF treatment; this is a 16% subcutaneous IgG product. Subjects will receive Subgam-VF for 26 weeks during which time safety will be assessed. After Week 21, PK sampling will commence. Follow-up visit (one week after the last Subgam-VF infusion, Week 27). All AEs will be monitored up to 28 days after the last Subgam-VF infusion by telephone contact (Week 30). Subgam-VF will be administered subcutaneously using infusion pumps. Subjects will be given diaries to record adverse event data as well as any infusions administered at home. In addition there will be a telephone follow up by an appropriately qualified site staff member on day 3 after each site administered and home administered infusion to check for any adverse reactions including infusion site reactions and remind subjects to document these in their subject study diary.

Subgam-VF dose will be given as 1.37 of the established IGIV dose (expressed in mg/kg/week) for 26 weeks (26 infusions) beginning one week after the last IGIV infusion. Dose of Subgam-VF will then be adjusted based on the ratio of the Immunoglobulin G (IgG) average concentration achieved with Subgam-VF compared to IGIV.

Data (Derived From Absolute Concentration) Were Pooled With Historical Data and a Treatment Variable Defined (Subgam-VF or Gammaplex 5% IGIV). Outcome Measure Defined as Log Transformed sAUC0-t Standardized to One Week.
Log transformed sAUC0-t, (AUC0-t standardized to one week) were analysed using a multiple linear regression model fitted including treatment, allowing for variability between treatment groups. The mean difference (Subgam-VF or Gammaplex IGIV 5%) between treatments with 90% Confidence Interval (CI) were back transformed to give an estimate of the ratio (Subgam-VF/ Gammaplex 5% IGIV) of sAUC(0-t). Data was collected at the following timepoints after week 21 of the clinical trial over a period of 1 week: Pre-dose on Day 0 and post-dose at days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7.
Time frame: 1 week
Number of Participants Who Experienced AEs Based on Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs)
TEAEs defined as those events with onset date between the first infusion date and 28 days after the last infusion.
Time frame: 30 weeks
Dose Refinement in Switching From Gammaplex 5% IGIV to Subgam-VF
The initial weekly dose of Subgam-VF administered was calculated by taking the average weekly equivalent of the subject's IGIV dose, divided by the average dosing interval in weeks (i.e. 3 or 4), multiplied by 1.37, a dose adjustment coefficient based on other licensed subcutaneous IgG products. If the subject was already receiving a weekly SCIG IgG there will be no dose adjustment. A refined dose adjustment was estimated as 1.37/the ratio (Subgam-VF/ Gammaplex 5% IGIV) of geometric means for sAUC0-t and presented with 90% CI.
Time frame: Week 26
Number of Infusion Site Reactions
Infusion site reactions are defined as those events with onset date between the first infusion date and 28 days after the last infusion.
Time frame: 30 weeks
