EMPIRICAL TIME-SERIES ANALYSES IN THE PAST THREE DECADES 1991-2023 FOR IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIA MEDICATIONS IN THE US MEDICAID PROGRAMS (ISPOR 2026) - "Study medications target platelet count restoration and immune system modulation, including thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA), such as Nplate (Romiplostim) and Promacta (Eltrombopag), and IV immunoglobulin (e.g., Gammagard) or anti-D immunoglobulin, Rituximab (an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody), and newer Tyrosine kinase inhibitors...Comparative market-share analyses were also conducted within and across therapeutic classes Utilization trends revealed Rituxan dominated until 2020, after which biosimilars (Ruxience, Truxima) gained traction, with Ruxience leading.

Infection Outcomes and Hypogammaglobulinemia in Patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treated with Immunoglobulin Replacement Therapy (ASH 2023) - "In this real-world study of patients with NHL, treatment with IG10% was shown to be associated with significantly lower rates of HGG as well as lower odds of infection, severe infection, and antimicrobial use 3 months after IG10% initiation. Guidelines and consensus-based recommendations are needed to optimize the use of IgG testing, initiation of IgRT, and SID management in patients with NHL."

JOINT PAIN, STIFFNESS, AND A CAVITARY PNEUMONIA: PRESENTATION OF A CAVITARY PNEUMONIA IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS ON RITUXIMAB AND METHOTREXATE (CHEST 2025) - "Sputum culture was positive MRSA, leading to the initiation of vancomycin...The patient had low IgG levels (363 mg/dL), prompting addition of 20 grams of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) (GAMMAGARD Liquid) and methylprednisolone 125 mg IV to the patient's treatment regimen... This case highlights the challenge of persistent MRSA pneumonia in an immunocompromised host and potential benefit of IVIG and steroids. The patient's improvement suggests immune support enhances outcomes. Further research is needed to establish IVIG guidelines and optimize treatment for refractory infections in immunocompromised individuals."

Unmasking the ABO Antibody Ingredient List in IVIg Preparations (WTC 2025) - "We used a LuminexTM single-antigen bead assay to measure ABO-Ab to A and B subtypes glycans to detect the ABO-Ab in commercially available IVIg products.* Thirteen IVIg lot numbers from six IVIg preparations (Privigen, Cuvirtru, Cutaquig, Hizentra, Octagram, and Gammagard Liquid) were evaluated using LuminexTM beads coupled to individual subtype ABO-A and -B glycans (subtypes I through VI)... It is valuable to know the level of ABO-Ab in IVIg for many reasons. In many clinical scenarios beyond transplantation, these ABO-Ab may cause IVIg-related red cell hemolysis. In the setting of ABO-incompatible transplantation, the presence of passively acquired ABO-Ab may interfere with the measurement of patient ABO-Ab levels pre- and post-transplant."
