Abatacept for the Treatment of Common Variable Immunodeficiency With Interstitial Lung Disease

Abatacept is a selective costimulation modulator, inhibiting T lymphocyte activation by binding to CD80 and CD86, thereby blocking interaction with CD28. Orencia solution supplied in a prefilled syringe should be refrigerated at 2C to 8C (36F to 46F). Orencia should not be used beyond the expiration date on the prefilled syringe. The product should be protected from light by storing in the original package until time of use. The prefilled syringe should not be frozen.

The composition of the placebo for Orencia is the same as the active study drug without the abatacept. The placebo will be packaged and labeled as described above for the Orencia prefilled syringes. To maintain the blind, injection volumes will be the same as the active treatment.
