Cutaquig® can be administered safely at flexible infusion regimens1

Increasing infusion rate up
to 67.5 mL/hr/site decreased infusion duration by >57% ¹ Dosing every other week demonstrated equivalency to IgG trough levels with weekly dosing ¹ Increasing infusion volume per site up to 100 mL/site resulted in a >30% reduction of injection sites ¹ ¹ A phase 3 study monitoring the safety, tolerability and efficacy of cutaquig® at modified dosing regimendemonstrated that:

*Increased infusion volume per site up to 100 mL/site, increased infusion rate up to 67.5 mL/hr/site or dosing every other week. The majority of patients found the new infusion regimens* to be better or somewhat better than their previous regimens and reported that switching to SCIg 16.5% was easy ¹

*Cutaquig® can be stored at normal room temperature (up to 25°C, so patients don’t need to store it in the refrigerator) for up to 9 months and must then be discarded. However, for long-term storage, cutaquig® should be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C – 8°C. Before use, cutaquig® should be brought to room or body temperature. ² Cutaquig® can improve patients’ quality of life; in the pivotal trial, an average of only 2.63 days were missed from school or work per person-year ⁴
