Manufacturing Process of Intratect efficaciously eliminates thrombogenic potential
Abstract: In 2010, an unexpected increase in the reporting rate of serious thromboembolic adverse events associated with the application of immunoglobulin preparations from one specific manufacturer caused increased concern regarding this topic. As a result, monographs for immunoglobulin preparations were revised. Hence, plasma ..

Comparison of Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA) and Non-Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (NAPTT) for the Assessment of Enhanced Procoagulant Activity in Immunoglobulin Solutions
Abstract: The recent revision of the European Pharmacopoeia stipulates that all intravenous immunoglobulin solutions must be investigated with respect to procoagulant activity. Accordingly, the manufacturing processes must be validated regarding the removal of such compounds, to ensure a minimized thromboembolic risk for patient..

Treating Cancer with Vaccine
Abstract : One of the most common causes of death is cancer. The traditional cancer treatments are rarely curative for disseminated cancers. Lately another approach in cancer therapy has been proposed – immunotherapy with cancer vaccines. In this review article we discuss different types of cancer vaccine, which include viral, ..

Identification of Activated FXI as the Major Biochemical Root Cause in IVIG Batches Associated with Thromboembolic Events. Analytical and Experimental Approaches Resulting in Corrective and Preventive Measures Implemented into the Octagam® Manufacturing Process
Abstract: During the year 2010 a surprising increase of thromboembolic events (TEEs) was observed after administration of distinct Octagam® 5% (human normal immunoglobulin 50 mg/ml) batches to patients. Immediately, Octapharma initiated a massive voluntary recall of Octagam batches from EU and US markets in August 2010. In Euro..

Quantitative Determination of Relevant Amounts of Blood Coagulation Factor XI Activity in a Specific Brand of Intravenous Immunoglobulin
Abstract: Background: Residual content of activated procoagulant components, particularly FXIa, has been suggested to play a relevant role in the increased thrombogenic potential of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) from a specific manufacturer.Methods: Flebogamma, Flebogamma DIF and other marketed IVIG preparations (products A ..

Modified Thrombin Generation Assay: Application To The Analysis Of Immunoglobulin Concentrates
Abstract: Intravenous immunoglobulins cause thromboembolic events at a frequency of 2-3%. Complications of this nature can be life threatening. Nevertheless, a test for thrombogenicity such as non activated partial thromboplastin time is not mandatory for these drugs. As a result of recent incidents we have performed experiments..
