What is octagam 10%?

Octagam 10% is indicated for treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in adults

Octagam 10% is manufactured to preserve immunoglobulin integrity

  • Processing steps designed to preserve the structural and functional integrity of IgG1,2
  • Formulated to help mitigate tolerability issues in adults with chronic ITP1,3,4
  • Validated removal and inactivation of viruses3,5,6
  • A biochemical profile that resembles native IgG3
  • Convenient, ready-to-use, easy-to-store, liquid formulation1,3

Octagam 10% is made from large pools of donated plasma which go through a rigorous purification process for the inactivation and removal of viruses1,3

  • Manufactured by cold ethanol fractionation process followed by ultrafiltration and chromatography
  • Manufacturing process includes treatment with an organic solvent/detergent (S/D) mixture composed of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TNBP) and Octoxynol
  • Viral reduction is achieved through a combination of process steps including cold ethanol fractionation, S/D treatment and pH4 treatment
  • Other precautions against viral transmission include: selection of plasma donors, screening of donations and plasma pool, as well as final product testing for viruses
Octapharma’s global immunotherapy portfolio offers high-purity human IgG products available in different concentrations and routes of administration in liquid, ready-to-use formulations.
