Commenting on the start of the study, Kim Björnstrup, Deputy Chairman of Octapharma Group said, "The development of our novel 10% IVIG is part of our ongoing commitment to invest in the development of protein based immunotherapies and in particular in IgG preparations. For 25 years, our cutting-edge research programme has sought to develop new biological entities tailored specifically around the needs of clinicians and patients - delivering improved quality of life for patients and ease of delivery and management for hospitals."
