What is cutaquig?

Cutaquig is an immunoglobulin replacement therapy for subcutaneous infusion approved for the treatment of primary immunodeficiencies in patients 2 years of age or older

  • Cutaquig is made from large pools of donated plasma which go through a rigorous purification process for the inactivation and removal of viruses1
  • Cutaquig is manufactured by the cold ethanol fractionation process followed by ultrafiltration and chromatography. The manufacturing process includes treatment with an organic Solvent/Detergent (S/D) mixture composed of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TNBP) and Octoxynol.1
  • Viral reduction is achieved through a combination of process steps including cold ethanol fractionation, S/D treatment and pH4 treatment1
  • Other precautions against viral transmission include: selection of plasma donors, screening of donations and plasma pool, as well as final product testing for viruses1
