Once a month* infusions. Reliable protection against infection.1,2
For people with PI, there is more to life than managing their treatment schedule. HYQVIA offers monthly* SCIG infusions to help patients maximize time between infusions.1
*Every 3 or 4 weeks.

*Every 3 or 4 weeks.
†HYQVIA was studied in a prospective, open-label, non-controlled, multicenter clinical trial conducted to determine the efficacy, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of HYQVIA in patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI). The primary outcome measure was the annualized rate of acute serious bacterial infections (ASBI), which was evaluated in 83 patients over a median treatment duration of 366 days (42 to 507 days).

What makes HYQVIA different?
Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase in HYQVIA locally, temporarily, and reversibly modifies the hyaluronan in the subcutaneous tissue, helping increase the dispersion and absorption of IG.1
Subcutaneous tissue with conventional SCIG
Up to 60 mL/site with conventional SCIG3
- The subcutaneous tissue contains hyaluronan, a gel-like substance, which causes resistance to fluid flow1,4,5
- Hyaluronan is depolymerized by the naturally occurring enzyme hyaluronidase1
- Approximately 1/3 of hyaluronan is replaced in the body daily5
SCIG = subcutaneous immune globulin
Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase
Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase1
- Mimics the natural depolymerization process of hyaluronan
- Results in a temporary increase in the permeability of the subcutaneous tissue
Subcutaneous Tissue with HYQVIA
Up to 600 mL/site with HYQVIA1
- Increased dispersion and absorption of the IG component of HYQVIA
- Allows a full monthly* dose via a single infusion site†
- Permeability of the subcutaneous tissue is restored within 24 to 48 hours
*Every 3 or 4 weeks.
†A second site can be used at the discretion of the physician and patient based on tolerability and total volume. If a second site is used, administer half the total volume of Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase of HYQVIA in each site.
