A Multi-site, Open-Label, Pilot Study to Evaluate the Benefit of Octagam 5%® in Subjects With Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS)
This study will evaluate the use of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) at a dose of
1g/Kg/body weight given every three weeks for 6 infusions in pediatric subjects ages 4 - 16
years with moderate to severe PANS. The study will compare biomarkers and behavioral scales
before treatment, after the last infusion, 2 months, and at a minimum 6 months
post-treatment.

IVIG at an immunomodulatory dose of 1 g/Kg body weight has been known to induce suppression
of systemic inflammation and has been used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It has
been proven beneficial in inflammatory conditions affecting the nervous system.
