Primary immunodeficiency (PID) syndromes with impaired antibody production

Secondary immunodeficiencies (SID) in patients who suffer from severe or recurrent infections, ineffective antimicrobial treatment and either proven specific antibody failure (PSAF)* or serum IgG level of <4g/l

*PSAF = failure to mount at least a 2-fold rise in IgG antibody titre to pneumococcal polysaccharide and polypeptide antigen vaccines

The safety & efficacy of cutaquig® was evaluated in Phase 3 trials2-6
