This study is being conducted to find out how safe and effective different strategies of infection prevention are in comparison to each other, for preventing infection in patients with blood cancers. The best way to find out this information is to directly compare the effect of different treatment strategies in patients with blood cancers.

Role of Antibiotic Therapy or Immunoglobulin On iNfections in hAematoLogy (Dose-Ig)
This study is being conducted to find out how safe and effective different strategies of infection prevention are in comparison to each other, for preventing infection in patients with blood cancers. The best way to find out this information is to directly compare the effect of different treatment strategies in patients with blood cancers. We want to know how these different treatments impact on your health and your use of healthcare services.
This research project uses an Adaptive Platform Design. This design allows the researchers to compare multiple infection prevention strategies within the same trial at the same time (rather than running separate trials), to analyse results as the trial occurs and to add new research questions during the course of the trial.
The treatments that you may receive as part of the study will be determined by which domain(s) of the platform you participate in. By combining data collected within each domain as part of the platform, the researchers can investigate and compare treatment strategies and infection outcomes across a broader range of participants.
Inclusion: Patients must be receiving IVIg replacement at standard dose for prevention of bacterial infections due to hypogammaglobulinaemia for at least 6 consecutive months; Patient is not eligible for trial of Ig cessation in the opinion of the treating clinician and local investigator.
Exclusion: Prior or planned allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; Previous splenectomy; Previous participation in this domain; Major infection (Grade 3 or higher) in preceding 3 months, and or current active infection requiring systemic antimicrobial treatment; Known history of bronchiectasis; Treating team deems enrolment in the domain is not in the best interest of the patient.
