Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Imlifidase
Other interventions - Plasma Exchange

Experimental: Imlifidase - Subjects randomized to imlifidase treatment received one intravenous dose of imlifidase, 0.25 mg/kg, administered over 15 minutes.

Active comparator: Plasma Exchange - Subjects randomized to plasma exchange (PE) treatment received 5-10 sessions of PE, as judged by the investigator. Immunoadsorption (IA) could replace PE, at the discretion of the investigator.


Treatment: Drugs: Imlifidase
Imlifidase is an immunoglobulin G (IgG) degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyrogenes that cleaves all 4 human subclasses of IgG with strict specificity.

Other interventions: Plasma Exchange
The subject's plasma is removed and discarded and the subject receives replacement donor plasma, albumin, or a combination of albumin and saline. IA may be used instead of PE to the discretion of the investigator. IA is achieved by passing a subject's plasma over columns that bind immunoglobulins and then the plasma is passed back to the subject.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Signed Informed Consent obtained before any study-related procedures

In the context of this study, an effective method is defined as those which result in low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly

8. Known allergy/sensitivity to imlifidase, IVIg and/or rituximab and the respective excipients
9. Patient unable to tolerate treatment with plasmapheresis or immunoadsorption, as judged by the investigator
