Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Prospective Phase III Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Panzyga in Primary Infection Prophylaxis in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia ("PRO-SID" Study)

Prior treatment

• IgG treatment within 3 months prior to Screening.
• Antibiotic prophylaxis and/or treatment within 7 days prior to Baseline (with the exception of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole \[TMP/SMX\], diaminodiphenyl sulfone \[dapsone\] and pentamidine inhalation).
• Current major infection or \>1 major infection in the previous 6 months before Baseline.
• Female patients of childbearing potential unwilling to use a protocol-required method of contraception (as per protocol section 7.3.9 b) from the Screening Visit throughout the study treatment period and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug.
• Subjects with a history of thromboembolic events (TEE) such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, peripheral artery disease (Fontaine IV) within 6 months before Baseline.
• Planned or ongoing immunosuppressive treatment (other than for CLL or corticosteroids) or other forbidden medication during the entire study duration after study enrollment.
• Participation in another interventional clinical trial that is either blinded or involves an investigational (not approved) product within 3 months before Baseline or during the course of the clinical study. Participation in observational clinical trials or open-label trials involving an approved product may be permitted after consultation with the medical monitor.
• Known IgA deficiency with antibodies to IgA.

Other illness

• History of anaphylaxis or severe systemic response to immunoglobulin, blood or plasma-derived products or any Panzyga component.
• History of a non-CLL malignancy or other medical condition with life-expectancy of less than two years.
• Severe liver disease, with signs of ascites and/or hepatic encephalopathy.
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection at Screening (defined for the study as positive HIV antibody test).
• Patients found to be chronic carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV), defined by positive surface antigen (HBsAg), positive Hepatitis B core antibodies (HBcAb) and/or low HBV titers, who will not receive targeted antiviral therapy while undergoing CLL therapy, and patients with active HBV, defined as high HBV titers.
• Uncontrolled hepatitis C infection at Screening (defined for the study as positive hepatitis virus C \[HCV\] polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\]).

Lab values

• Severe kidney disease (as defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2).

Other

• Body weight \>140 kg.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of \>2 (Appendix 1).
• Pregnant and lactating women.
• Known blood hyperviscosity, or other hypercoagulable states.
• Patients unable or unwilling to understand or comply with the study protocol.

• Treatment-naïve or relapsed/refractory CLL patients undergoing CLL antineoplastic treatment. Diagnosis of B-cell CLL established according to International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria and documented within medical records.
• Hypogammaglobulinemia (IgG levels \<5 g/L) as confirmed by the Central Laboratory.
• ≥18 years of age.
• Voluntarily given, fully informed written and signed consent obtained before any study-related procedures are conducted.
