Abstract

Background Immunoglobulin (IG) replacement therapy in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) can be administered daily to every 2 weeks subcutaneously (SCIG) or every 3 or 4 weeks intravenously (IVIG). Objectives Develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model simulating IG exposure with Ig20Gly, a 20% SCIG; determine the dose adjustment factor for Ig20Gly relative to IVIG. Methods Data from patients with PID treated with Ig20Gly and IVIG 10% were used to characterize IG population PK by nonlinear mixed-effects modeling and validated using data splitting and a visual predictive check. IG profiles were simulated for 1000 patients/interval treated with Ig20Gly (daily, every 2 days, every 3 days, twice weekly, weekly, every 2 weeks). An Ig20Gly adjustment factor of 130% was used to simulate Ig20Gly to IVIG AUC ratios for weekly or every 2 weeks Ig20Gly dosing intervals and a monthly IVIG dosing interval. Results A 1-compartment model, using weight as a covariate on clearance, derived from an index modeling dataset (n = 81) demonstrated predictability for a validation dataset (n = 21). The model estimate of bioavailability was 73.9%. Simulations for 6 dosing intervals showed similar mean profiles with overlapping prediction intervals. Mean AUC ratios of Ig20Gly to IVIG with a dose adjustment factor of 1.30:1 were 98.7% for weekly and 97.7% for twice-weekly administration demonstrating comparable exposure. Conclusion Ig20Gly exposures from daily to up to every 2 weeks appeared equivalent. A 1.30 conversion factor provided coverage comparable to IVIG when Ig20Gly is administered daily to every 2 weeks.
