The FDA approved the bi-weekly dosing for Hizentra based on the principles of pharmacometrics and pharmacokinetic modeling.
The new dosing option allows greater flexibility by allowing patients to self-administer less frequently. Hizentra delivers consistent levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) replacement therapy to help protect those with PI against infections.
Hizentra received FDA approval in March 2010 as a once-weekly immunoglobulin G (IgG) replacement therapy.
