SAME OLD SAME OLD • • • •

Core of PID management No alternatives Lifelong requirement (usually) Effective (bacterial infection, antibiotic usage, QoL, hospitalisation, life expectancy)

• Dose requirement  in: - frequent breakthrough infections - chronic inflammation / tissue damage - poor prognosis disease variants

WHAT’S NEW? The three Rs: • Reorganisation • Reclassification • Aarrrgh - ongoing uncertainties over dosing / target levels

DOSE: INDIVIDUALISATION

‘The goal of replacement therapy should be to improve clinical outcome and not to reach a particular IgG trough level.’ J Allergy Clin Immunol (2010);125:1354-60

DOSE: INDIVIDUALISATION

‘….individualizing the dosage….is preferable to using mean pharmacokinetic parameters.’ Clin Immunol (2011);139:133-41

REORGANISATION

PRIMARY ANTIBODY DEFICIENCY DISORDERS

SPECIFIC DISORDERS Thymoma with immunodeficiency (Good’s Syndrome) Combined immunodeficiencies requiring haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) Specific antibody deficiency (SAD) Transient hypogammaglobulinaemia of infancy (THI)

SPECIFIC DISORDERS

DISORDER GOOD’S

RECOMMENDATION / REQUIREMENT Profound B cell depletion / significant antibody deficiency

HSCT

Duration based on B cell reconstitution post-transplantation

SAD

Robust application of selection criteria

THI

Define planned duration of therapy prior to initiation

WHAT’S NEW? • Secondary Antibody Deficiency  • Revision / collation into a single indication + review outcomes (infection / hospitalisation) + dosing (minimum IgG trough 6 g/L)

RECOMMENDATIONS • Irreversible hypo- • Hypo- associated with CLL/NHL/MM etc. and
