Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Patients with high-grade gliomas (world health organisation [WHO] grade III or IV) in the first relapse after first-line therapy including chemotherapy with or without nitrososurea, with a life expectancy of at least 6 months and undergoing active treatment with chemotherapy
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Kiovig
Product Name: Kiovig
Pharmaceutical Form: Intravenous infusion
Pharmaceutical form of the placebo: Intravenous infusion
Route of administration of the placebo: Intravenous use

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of the study will be the number of infective episodes in patients with high grade glioma during treatment with Kiovig compared with placebo.
Main Objective: To determine the number of infective episodes in patients with high grade gliomas during treatment with 10% intravenous immunoglobulin (Kiovig) compared with placebo (normal saline).
Secondary Objective: To determine the following during treatment with Kiovig compared with placebo:

• number of patients with infective episodes
• number of days on antibiotics
• number of days with fever (body temperature (T) > 38.5°C)
• number of infective deaths
• number of hospitalisations
• number of days in hospital
• time to progression
• Compare serum immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and IgM levels
• Assess the quality of life (QoL)
• Karnofsky performance scale assessment and mini mental state examination (MMSE)
• Assess the total costs (socioeconomic evaluation)
• Evaluate reported adverse events (AEs), changes in vital signs, laboratory tests, and physical examination
• Evaluate tumour progression
