Trial Outcomes & Findings for Immunoglobulin Levels and Occurrence of Infections After Lung Transplantation and Impact of IgG Replacement (NCT NCT01361178)

NCT ID: NCT01361178

Last Updated: 2017-03-22

Results Overview

The primary outcome for this study will be the total number of days with pneumonia. Pneumonia will be defined by the presence of both clinical and radiographic criteria: fever (temperature ≥ 38oC), cough, dyspnea, purulent expectoration and/or changes in the previous characteristics of respiratory secretions; and chest X-ray or CT scan revealing a new or progressive alveolar or interstitial infiltrate or cavitation that could not be explained by any other noninfectious cause.

Transplant Patients Who Receive SQ IVIG
Patients participating in the observational arm of the study who are randomized to receive a dosage of SQ IVIG due to low IgG level. SQ IVIG: Group 1 will receive SQ IgG at the lower end of the dosing range at 100 mg/kg/week and group 2 will receive SQ IgG at the higher end of the dosing range at 200 mg/kg/week
