Original Title: Application 1565
Authors' results and conclusions: Trials were reported for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM) and those who underwent haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, no adequate randomised trials were identified in patients with acute leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or 'other haematological malignancies'. It was however considered plausible that similar outcomes would be observed in acute leukaemia, NHL and 'other haematological malignancies', assuming the patients satisfied the criteria for hypogammaglobulinaemia and history of infections. It was not possible to evaluate the claim that IgG with or without antibiotics is superior to No IgG with or without antibiotics. The clinical evidence in the included studies support a claim of superior efficacy but inferior safety for IgG compared to no IgG (with antibiotic use defined as part of supportive care).
