NCT05764993
Brief Summary:
To examine the prevalence of humoral immunodeficiency in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) by evaluating both immunoglobulin levels and vaccine responses. Patients with COPD and humoral dysfunction will be offered treatment with Subcutaneous Immune Globulin Replacement Therapy (SCIgR) in an attempt to decrease future AECOPD.
Detailed Description:
This will be a non-blinded, randomized study. Patients with COPD will be referred for evaluation by outpatient pulmonary clinics at Rochester Regional health. Following informed consent all patients will be evaluated by checking serum IgG, IgM, and IgA, as well as baseline and post-vaccine IgG to peptides antigens (diphtheria and tetanus) with Td as well as polysaccharide antigens (streptococcus pneumoniae) with pneumococcus polyvalent vaccine-23 (PPV23). Patients with COPD and pre-defined humoral dysfunction (please see below) will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to one of two groups until approximately 20 patients per group are accrued for a total of 40 patients
Group #1: SCIgR with Cuvitru 125 mg/kg/week + standard of care management = 20 patients
Group #2: Standard of care management = 20 patients
