    CSL Behring today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration has approved a 40 g (400 mL) vial size for Privigen®, immune globulin intravenous [human]. The new vial size will simplify preparation and administration of the product when high volumes of it are required. Privigen is approved for the treatment of patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID), a group of rare and serious diseases of the immune system, and provides effective protection against infection by assisting the body in maintaining a normal level of immunoglobulin. Privigen is also approved in the United States for chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) to raise platelet counts. With the addition of the 40 g vial, Privigen will be available in four sizes in the United States, including 5 g (50 mL), 10 g (100 mL) and 20 g (200 mL). The first supply of Privigen in this new vial size will be introduced in June.
