What is Cuvitru?

Cuvitru is a 20% SCIG product from Takeda. Like other SCIG products, it allows self-administration at home with stable IgG levels and excellent tolerability.

What it treats

Cuvitru is FDA-approved for the following indications:

  • Primary humoral immunodeficiency

How it is administered

Cuvitru is administered subcutaneously weekly or every two weeks via self-infusion. Training is provided by an infusion nurse during the early weeks of therapy.

Patient assistance & support

The manufacturer offers a patient support program — Takeda OnePath — that can help with insurance navigation, copay assistance for eligible patients, nursing support, and ongoing education. More information is available at https://www.takedapatientsupport.com.

Coordination at Optimed Immunology

Treatment with Cuvitru is initiated and monitored by Dr. McNeil. Prior authorizations are handled in-house — patients are not asked to navigate insurance approvals on their own. Administration logistics are coordinated by the office team based on the route of therapy and patient preference.
