Brief Summary
This study will evaluate safety and clinical benefit of AIGIV used for treatment of patients with systemic anthrax. The study is designed to collect information on safety, clinical benefit (such as extent of anthrax illness and survival) and serum concentrations of AIGIV (for AIGIV pharmacokinetics) and anthrax toxins from sporadic cases of systemic anthrax patients treated with AIGIV.

Up to Day 30
Other Outcomes (11)
Cause-specific mortality rate
Up to Day 30
Mortality rate stratified by number of AIGIV doses administered
Up to Day 30
Mortality rate stratified by AIGIV treatment time from symptom onset
Up to Day 30
- +8 more other outcomes
Study Arms (1)
AIGIV
Anthrax patients who have been administered AIGIV (ANTHRASIL®) as per licensed US prescribing information.
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
Anthrax patients who have received AIGIV.
You may qualify if:
- Confirmed or suspected systemic anthrax patients in the USA or other jurisdictions (if feasible) treated with AIGIV provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Systemic anthrax defined as a clinically compatible case of gastrointestinal, injectional, or inhalational anthrax; anthrax meningitis or bacteremia; or cutaneous anthrax with systemic effects (i.e. tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension, hyperthermia, hypothermia, leukocytosis) or with lesions that involve the head, neck or upper torso, or are large, bullous, multiple, or surrounded by significant edema PLUS confirmation by one of the following:
- Epidemiologically linked to a documented anthrax environmental exposure. Laboratory confirmation by isolation of B. anthracis from an affected tissue or site.
- Demonstration of B. anthracis antigens in tissues by immunohistochemical staining using both B. anthracis cell wall and capsule monoclonal antibodies.
- Evidence of B. anthracis DNA; for example, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in specimens collected from a normally sterile site (such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)) or lesion of other affected tissue(s) (skin, pulmonary, reticuloendothelial, or gastrointestinal).
- QuickELISA™ Anthrax-PA kit manufactured by Immunetics, Inc. for detection of anti-PA antibodies in serum, plasma, and pleural/ascitic fluid.
- RedLine Alert™ test manufactured by Tetracore, Inc., for identification of B. anthracis colonies.
- Informed consent/assent (as applicable).
