Facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG) 10% is an immunoglobulin replacement therapy that utilizes recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) to enhance immunoglobulin dispersion and absorption, allowing for longer treatment intervals similar to intravenous immunoglobulin (up to once monthly). fSCIG 10% is indicated in the USA for treating adults and children aged ≥ 2 years with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs). This prospective, non-interventional, open-label, multicenter, post-authorization safety study (NCT02593188) was conducted in the USA from November 2015 to October 2021 to assess the long-term safety of fSCIG 10% in routine clinical practice. Patients with PIDs aged ≥ 16 years who were prescribed and/or had started fSCIG 10% treatment were enrolled. In total, 253 patients were enrolled and included (full analysis set). Participants received fSCIG 10% treatment for a median (interquartile range) of 10.0 (3.5-11.8) months, with the majority of infusions administered every 4 weeks (54.4% [1197/2201 infusions]) and at home (62.6% [1395/2230 infusions]). Overall, 98.5% of infusions were administered without rate reduction, interruption, or discontinuation due to adverse events (AEs). Treatment-related, non-serious AEs were experienced by 52 patients (20.6%, 284 events). Two patients (0.8%) each experienced one treatment-related serious AE (aseptic meningitis and deep vein thrombosis). Development of antibodies against rHuPH20 was uncommon; 14/196 patients (7.1%) tested positive for binding antibodies (titer ≥ 1:160) with no neutralizing antibodies detected. There was no relationship between anti-rHuPH20 antibody positivity and the occurrence of treatment-related serious or non-serious AEs. Long-term, repeated self-administration of fSCIG 10% was well tolerated in US clinical practice by patients with PIDs.
