Introduction: For close to half a century immunoglobulin replacement therapy has been the main therapy for patients unable to produce functioning antibodies. To date, both subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous delivery methods have been successful at effectively and safely replacing immunoglobulin. Home intravenous and SC therapy programs have been established and have gained attention, but the true motivation and frequency of switching from traditional hospital-based treatment to these alternatives remains unknown. This study aims to determine the willingness of patients in Canada to switch to a home-based gammaglobulin treatment program by quantifying related experiences and preferences.
