Kedrion Biopharma announces that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted their Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a clinical study aimed at assessing efficacy and safety of a 10% intravenous immunoglobulin in the treatment of adult patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID). This approval allows Kedrion to initiate clinical trial in the United States in coming months.
After the pilot phase of the project, which was carried out at Kedrion’s manufacturing and development hub in Bolognana, Italy, the clinical scale-up of this 10% Immunoglobulin was continued at Kedrion’s Hungarian facility in Gödöllő, where the clinical batches that will be used in the study are currently being produced. According to the plan, once the trial has been completed, the candidate will be produced (purification phase) at Kedrion’s new Castelvecchio Pascoli plant in Italy.
