Brief Summary
Tolerability of home subcutaneous immunoglobulin (ScIG) for replacement therapy for hypogammaglobulinemia in allogeneic HCT patients. A financial analysis comparing the cost of ScIG with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) will also be performed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Tolerability of home ScIG as replacement therapy for hypogammaglobulinemia in allogeneic transplant patients
Qualitative survey describing tolerability, QOL assessment
6 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Financial analysis of cost of ScIG in allogeneic HCT patients
1 year
Study Arms (1)
Patient cohort
EXPERIMENTALThe study population will include 24 patients, that are either already on IVIG or are eligible for ScIG as initial Ig replacement, that will undergo Ig replacement with subcutaneous immunoglobulin (ScIG) for a total of 6 months.
Interventions
24 patients demonstrating hypogammaglobulinemia post allogeneic HCT will be started on ScIG for a total of 6 months. Tolerability of the intervention will be assessed with qualitative questionnaires, as well as a financial analysis regarding the intervention.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age over 18 years
- Patients at least 100 days post allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for any benign or malignant hematological disease, from a related or unrelated donor
- Patients who are already established on regular IVIG
- Patients eligible for immunoglobulin replacement with an IgG \<7mg/L, or normal IgG total but IgG2 or IgG4 below normal
- Patients with IgG =\>7g/L but with at least 2 prior episodes of bacterial infection (proven or suspected eg. sinusitis diagnosed on CT)
- No other medical condition which would preclude treatment with immunoglobulin
- Willing to participate and sign informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Previous serious adverse reaction from IVIG or products from Hizentra (polysorbate)
- Other serious medical or psychiatric disorders which may interfere with the patient's ability to participate in the study, or interfere with study assessment (e.g. advanced congestive heart failure, severe liver disease, renal failure, disease relapse or secondary malignancy, schizophrenia, paranoid psychosis)
