Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an important treatment in a range of neurological conditions. There is currently limited evidence regarding the frequency and management of IVIg-associated adverse reactions (AR) in neurological disorders. METHODS A single-centre 18-month retrospective cohort study was conducted for all patients at a single tertiary hospital receiving IVIg as an inpatient or the medical day unit. Electronic medical record AR and alerts were reviewed for entries relating to IVIg, and prescribing records associated with recent IVIg administration were reviewed for the use of premedications. Case note review was undertaken to identify AR associated with alterations in IVIg treatment (such as reduction in rate, use of premedications or cessation of IVIg). Demographic, patient, and treatment factors were analysed for associations with AR necessitating alteration in IVIg treatment. RESULTS This study included 98 individuals who received IVIg during the study period. Of these, 12 (12.1%) patients required an alteration in their IVIg treatment. In total, 3 (3.1%) of the 98 included patients required a reduced rate of IVIg, and 10 (10.2%) patients received premedication. The most common premedications were normal saline at the time of the infusion, cetirizine, and hydrocortisone. No demographic factors, indications or comorbidities were found to be associated with an increased likelihood of AR. However, an IVIg daily dose of >35 g and >45 g were associated with an increased likelihood of requiring IVIg treatment alteration due to AR. CONCLUSIONS Alterations to IVIg treatment due to AR are commonly required in neurology patients, and may be associated with higher daily doses of IVIg.

Real-world experience with CLAIRYG® 50 mg/mL (intravenous immunoglobulin) in children under 12 years with primary immunodeficiency or immmune thrombocytopenia: a post-approval safety study. Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1260296.

Abstract
Introduction This study presents the results of a real-life, multicenter, prospective, post-approval safety evaluation of Clairyg® 50 mg/mL, a 5% intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) liquid, in 59 children (aged < 12 years) with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) (n = 32) or immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) (n = 27) in France. Methods The primary objective of the study was to assess the safety and tolerability of Clairyg®, recording all serious and non-serious adverse events (AEs), whether related (rAEs) or not related to the product. Secondary objectives aimed at evaluating the administration of Clairyg® under routine conditions and the available efficacy data to better document the benefit/risk ratio in this pediatric population. An exploratory objective was added to evaluate the potential factors associated with the occurrence of rAEs. Patients received Clairyg® according to the approved dosage under normal conditions of prescriptions over a median follow-up period of 11.8 months. Results A total of 549 infusions (PID: n = 464 and ITP: n = 85), were administered, of which 58.8% were preceded by premedication. The most frequent rAEs were headache, vomiting, and pyrexia in both indications. Most of them were considered non-serious and mild or moderate in intensity. A severe single rAE was observed (aseptic meningitis) in a 4-year-old girl presenting with chronic ITP. The exploratory multivariate analysis of potential co-factors showed that the occurrence of rAEs is significantly linked to high IVIg doses and possibly to female gender. The annualized rate of serious bacterial infections was 0.11 for patients with PID. For patients with ITP, 74.1% experienced at least one bleeding episode during the follow-up, mostly a cutaneous one, and none had gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or central nervous system bleeding. Conclusion Clairyg® was well tolerated and allowed for control of serious bacterial infection in PID and serious bleeding in ITP, which are the main complications in these respective pediatric disorders. No new safety signal was detected in children less than 12 years-old in real-life conditions of use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) are the major treatment in inborn errors of immunity (IEI) disorders; However, IVIg infusions show some adverse effects. We aimed to assess the adverse reactions of IVIg infusions. METHODS Data of IVIg infusions in IEI patients were collected from 2011 to 2021. Totally, 363 IEI patients received IVIg regularly in Iran entered the study. The adverse reactions are classified regarding their severity and chronicity. RESULTS 22,667 IVIg infusions were performed in the study. 157 patients (43.2%) and 1349 (5.9%) infusions were associated with at least one type of adverse reaction. The highest rates of adverse reactions were seen in severe combined immunodeficiency. Myalgia, chills, headache, fever, and hypotension were the most frequent adverse effects of IVIg. CONCLUSION The reactions affect almost half of the patients mainly in the first infusions which necessitate the close observation of IEI patients receiving IVIg.
