CUVITRU is indicated as replacement therapy for primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI) in adult and pediatric patients ≥2 years. CUVITRU is for subcutaneous use only.
In the North American Study CUVITRU was associated with a low incidence of local adverse reactions (ARs), regardless of infusion rate or volume per site. 2 of every 3 patients (N=51/74) had no local ARs. Overall rate of local ARs (excluding infections) was 0.022 ARs per infusion (0.021 mild and 0.002 moderate).1,2

CUVITRU administration was well-tolerated2
98.2% (N=4327) of infusions had no local
ARs such as pain, erythema, and pruritus1,2
2 of every 3 patients had no local ARs1
99.8% of infusions were completed without a reduction,
interruption, or discontinuation due to tolerability in the North American clinical study1,2
ARs can be defined as serious and non-serious, with the non-serious being mild, moderate, or severe. Mild: transient discomfort that resolves spontaneously or with minimal intervention. Moderate: cause limited impairment of function, may require therapeutic intervention, do not interfere significantly with the subject’s normal functioning level, and produce no sequelae. Severe: result in marked impairment of function that may lead to temporary inability to resume usual life pattern and/or produces sequelae which require (prolonged) therapeutic intervention.3
There are known risk factors to consider with Cuvitru. Review the full safety information, including contraindications and specific warnings and precautions to take when monitoring patients with Cuvitru.
See Safety InformationSafety data was collected, as it occurred, continuously throughout the study.2
*CUVITRU can be infused up to 60 mL/site, as tolerated. During the first 2 infusions for patients ≤40 kg, the maximum volume is 20 mL/site and the maximum rate is 20 mL/hr per site.

Even at increased rates and volumes, there was no increase in local ARs2
Local adverse reactions by infusion rate and volume in the North American Clinical Study
Only infusions with complete infusion history (N=4314) have been considered for these analyses. Overall, 71.6% of patients achieved a maximum infusion rate of 60 mL/h/site at least once.2
Important Safety Information (continued)
Cuvitru has the following Warnings and Precautions: Hypersensitivity, Renal Dysfunction/Failure, Thrombosis, Aseptic Meningitis Syndrome, Hemolysis, Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury, Transmittable Infectious Agents, and Interference with Lab Tests.
Please see additional Important Safety Information throughout this page, in the tray below, and in the Full Prescribing Information.
Safety data were collected, as they occurred, continuously throughout the study1,2
All patients were required to be on a stable dose of IVIG or SCIG for at least 12 weeks prior to enrollment in the study2
Nearly 70% of patients enrolled were naïve to SCIG (68.8% IVIG; 31.2% SCIG)2
Patients were not premedicated for SCIG infusions unless an AR of at least moderate severity occurred and did not resolve with infusion rate reduction during or after SCIG infusions.
