Limitation of Use:
Safety and efficacy of chronic use of recombinant human hyaluronidase in HYQVIA have not been established in conditions other than PI.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
For subcutaneous use only.
2.1 DosageInitiation of Treatment with HYQVIA
•
For patients previously on another IgG treatment, administer the first dose approximately one week after the last infusion of their previous treatment.
•
Increase the dose and frequency from a 1-week dose to a 3- or 4-week dose (see ramp-up schedule in Table 1).
•
Initiating treatment at a full monthly dose was not eva luated in the clinical trial.

For patients switching from Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) [IGIV] treatment:
Administer HYQVIA at the same dose and frequency as the previous intravenous treatment, after the initial dose ramp-up.
For patients naïve to IgG treatment or switching from Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human) [IGSC]:
Administer HYQVIA at 300 to 600 mg/kg at 3 to 4 week intervals, after initial ramp-up.
Individualization of Dose
If HYQVIA is administered at the same dose and frequency, the serum IgG levels from HYQVIA should be comparable to serum IgG levels from intravenous treatment.
For dose adjustment:
•
Calculate the difference between the patient's serum IgG trough level during HYQVIA treatment and the IgG trough level during the previous intravenous treatment.
•
Find this difference (in mg/dL) in the columns of Table 2 and the corresponding amount (in mL) by which to increase or decrease the dose based on the patient's body weight and desired change in IgG trough level.
