FORT LEE, N.J., Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Kedrion Biopharma is proud to announce the U.S. availability of YIMMUGO (Immune Globulin Intravenous, Human-dira, 10%), marking a major milestone in the company’s expanding U.S. product portfolio and underscoring its commitment to broadening access to innovative therapies for patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI).
Introduced in Europe in 2022 and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 13, 2024, YIMMUGO is a modern, highly purified 10% intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) indicated for the treatment of PI in patients aged 2 years and older. Developed by Biotest AG, a part of the Grifols group, YIMMUGO represents an innovation in immunoglobulin (Ig) therapy. In 2024, Biotest AG granted Kedrion Biopharma exclusive rights to commercialize YIMMUGO in the United States.
PI refers to a group of more than 550 rare, chronic disorders in which the body’s immune system is unable to function properly. Because the immune system serves as the body’s defense against infections, individuals with PI are more vulnerable to frequent infections, autoimmune complications, and other serious health issues.
It is estimated that approximately 500,000 people in the United States and around 6 million globally are currently living with PI. However, these figures are likely underrepresented, as many individuals remain underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, making it difficult to capture the true scope of the condition.
In a large market where demand for treatment options is rising, driven by the increasing prevalence of PI and the urgent need to address unmet patient needs, YIMMUGO enters as a meaningful new option. “We are implementing a bold and patient-centric strategy to expand and differentiate our Ig portfolio. Our experience, agility, and unwavering dedication to patients and health care practitioners in the IVIG sector position us to make a meaningful impact on the market,” said Bob Rossilli, Chief Commercial Officer and U.S. General Manager at Kedrion Biopharma.
YIMMUGO is now available in the United States through a limited distribution network that includes multiple specialty pharmacies. For a complete list, please visit the website. CuraScript SD by Evernorth serves as YIMMUGO’s exclusive commercial distribution partner, ensuring streamlined access for patients and providers.
