HyQvia— the only long-lasting,*
once-a-month SCIG infusion

No matter if you have patients who are on a monthly IVIG or a more frequently administered SCIG, HyQvia [Immune Globulin Infusion 10% (Human) with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase] may be an option for them.

*Between infusions.

Every 3 or 4 weeks.

IVIG=intravenous immune globulin; SCIG=subcutaneous immune globulin.

  • Acute serious bacterial infections (ASBIs) included 2 episodes of pneumonia1
  • Both episodes of pneumonia were treated on an outpatient basis with oral antibiotics1
  • An additional episode of pneumonia requiring hospitalization occurred during the ramp-up period1

  • HyQvia was studied in a prospective, open-label, noncontrolled, 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 (ASBIs), which was evaluated in 83 patients over a median treatment duration of 366 days (42 to 507 days)
  • The most common adverse reactions (ARs) observed in >5% of patients were local reactions including pain, erythema, edema, and pruritus, and systemic reactions including headache, antibody formation against rHuPH20, fatigue, nausea, pyrexia, and vomiting

<1 ASBI per patient-year is the threshold for substantial evidence of efficacy.3

§Rate of systemic ARs per HyQvia infusion (n=1129) was 0.20 and the rate of systemic ARs per IVIG infusion (n=365) was 0.42. IVIG was administered for a median of 91 days (range, 84 to 122 days) and HyQvia for a median of 42 days (range, 20 to 49 days) during the dose ramp-up period and 366 days (range, 42 to 507 days) during the efficacy period. Adverse reactions (ARs) were defined as causally related events and/or temporally associated adverse events occurring within 72 hours, excluding infections. Rate was calculated as the total number of events divided by total number of infusions.

Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase.

Hyaluronidase (Hy) helps make monthly* SCIG dosing possible1

Up to 28 days* between infusions

~2-hour infusions

This is less infusion time than IVIG. Median infusion time was 2.08 (0.83-4.68) hours vs 2.33 (0.92-6.33) hours for IVIG in the clinical trial.

97.7% of infusions were completed without a rate reduction, interruption, or discontinuation due to tolerability concerns1

The most common adverse reactions observed in >5% of patients in the clinical trials were: local adverse reactions including pain, erythema, edema, and pruritus, and systemic adverse reactions including headache, antibody formation against Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20), fatigue, nausea, pyrexia, and vomiting.

The rate of systemic ARs per HyQvia infusion (n=1129) was 0.20 and the rate of systemic ARs per IVIG infusion (n=365) was 0.42.

*IVIG was administered for a median of 91 days (range, 84 to 122 days) and HyQvia for a median of 42 days (range, 20 to 49 days) during the dose ramp-up period and 366 days (range, 42 to 507 days) during the efficacy period. Adverse reactions (ARs) were defined as causally related events and/or temporally associated adverse events occurring within 72 hours, excluding infections. Rate was calculated as the total number of events divided by total number of infusions.
