What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of Kedrion Immunoglobulin 10% (KIg10) in pediatric patients diagnosed with Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (PID). The study aims to determine how well this treatment works and its safety profile in children who require immunoglobulin therapy. Participants will be closely monitored to assess their response to the treatment and any potential side effects. The trial follows established diagnostic criteria for PID to ensure appropriate patient selection.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pediatric patients diagnosed with Primary Immunodeficiency Disease who require treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have a confirmed diagnosis of Primary Immunodeficiency Disease or those who do not require immunoglobulin therapy may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve immune function and quality of life for children with Primary Immunodeficiency Disease.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with similar immunoglobulin therapies, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Written informed consent/assent obtained from the patient and his/her parent(s) or legally acceptable representative indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in it.
2. Confirmed clinical diagnosis of a PID as defined by 2017 International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) Phenotypic Classification for Primary Immunodeficiencies (Bousfiha A, 2018 - and subsequent revisions) and The European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) Registry Working Definitions for the Clinical Diagnosis of Inborn Errors of Immunity (Seidel MG et al., 2019 - and subsequent revisions) and requiring treatment with IVIg. Documented agammaglobulinemia (defined as the total absence of one or more classes of antibodies) or hypogammaglobulinemia (defined as low levels of one or more classes \[i.e., at least 2 standard deviations under the mean level per age\]).
(NOTE: IVIg treatment is generally requested in the absence of IgG independently from whether other antibodies are absent).
3. Male or female, age from 2 up to \< 16 years, at the time of screening.
4. Received 200 to 800 mg/kg of a commercially available IVIg therapy in the range of 21- or 28-day intervals (±3 or ±4 days, respectively) for at least 3 infusions prior to screening.
(NOTE: Other IVIgs will be prohibited after ICF signature and until study end, week 51/52).
5. At least 2 documented IgG trough levels while receiving an IVIg, of ≥ 6 g/L obtained at 2 infusions within 12 months (1 must be within 6 months) prior to ICF signature.
6. Patient and his/her parent(s)/legal guardian(s) are willing to comply with all requirements of the protocol.
7. Females of child-bearing potential with a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) and who agree to employ adequate birth control measures during the study, such as:
1. sexual abstinence, to be evaluated in relation to the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject;
2. male or female condom with or without spermicide;
3. cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide;
4. progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception, if already used in the past on medical prescription.
Adequate birth control measures should be maintained throughout the study under parental control.
8. Authorization to access personal health information.
9. Patients previously participating in a clinical trial with another experimental IVIg may be enrolled if they have received stable commercially available IVIg therapy for at least 3 infusions (21 or 28 days) prior to screening.
10. Patients currently on treatment with any subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) can be enrolled if they are switched to stable commercially available IVIg therapy for at least 3 infusions (21 or 28 days) prior to screening.
11. Males or females with a body weight greater than or equal to 15 kg (≥ 15 kg).
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Newly diagnosed PID and naïve to IgG replacement therapy.
2. Dysgammaglobulinemia (defined as a deficiency in one or more classes of antibodies, but not severe enough to require substitutive therapy) or isolated IgG subclass deficiency, or profound primary T cell deficiency (defined as the absence or severe reduction of T lymphocytes \[CD3+ \< 300 cell/mm3\] and an absent or particularly low proliferative response \[10% of the lower normal range\] to phytohaemagglutinin P \[PHA\]).
3. History of severe or serious reactions or hypersensitivity to IVIg or other injectable forms of IgG.
4. History of thrombotic events including deep vein thrombosis, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism, transient ischemic attacks, or myocardial infarction, as defined by at least 1 event in patient's lifetime.
5. IgA deficiency with documented antibodies to IgA.
6. Received blood products that have not undergone viral inactivation measures within 12 months prior to ICF signature.

The disease is classified on the basis of cause and category of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (G1 to G5) and albuminuria (A1 to A3) (KIDIGO, 2017). See the following table\], congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association III/IV), cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia associated with thromboembolic events (e.g., atrial fibrillation), unstable or advanced ischemic heart disease, hyperviscosity, or any other condition that the Investigator believes is likely to interfere with evaluation of the study drug or with satisfactory conduct of the trial.
