The safety and efficacy of Hizentra self-infusions have been proven in patients age 2 and older.
Hizentra delivered low rates of infection in a 12-month study with zero serious infections that could potentially require hospitalization, like bacterial pneumonia, bacteremia/ septicemia, osteomyelitis/septic arthritis, bacterial meningitis, and visceral abscess.
The same 12-month study found an average of 2.76 overall infections per subject-year.
People taking Hizentra missed about 2 days of work or school per year due to infections (2.06 days per person per year on average in clinical studies).
