Your Data Protection Rights 

GCBP US aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete or limit the use of your Personal Data.

If you wish to be informed about what Personal Data, we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us.

In certain circumstances, you may have the following data protection rights:

  • The right to access, update or delete the information we have on you.
  • The right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to object to our processing of your Personal Data.

  • The right to withdraw consent where we relied on your consent to process your personal information.

Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. We further note that the above rights are not absolute and may not be granted under certain circumstances. For example, your right to restrict data processing does not apply when data are processed for the purposes of prevention, investigation, detection, or prosecution of criminal offenses. The same applies to processing of personal data in prevention of threats to public security. In addition, your right to access your personal data file does not extend to circumstances where such access adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. To make any of the requests above, use the Contact Us page on our Website or emailing us at  info@gcbiopharmausa.com . Please remember that email sent over the internet is not secure. If you send an email directly to us from your own email account, the contents will not be encrypted. Do not send sensitive information to us via unencrypted email. We are not responsible for any transmission by you of any personal information over the internet.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Patient Consent and Authorization

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule permits a covered entity to obtain patient consent for uses and disclosures of protected health information for treatment, payment, and health care operations, and requires covered entities to obtain patient authorization for specific purposes other than for treatment, payment, and health care operations. If you are a covered entity, by visiting the Website, purchasing our services, and/or subscribing with us, you hereby affirm that you shall comply with all applicable consent and/or authorization obligations as it pertains to electronically sharing patient health information via the Website. GCBP US shall bear no responsibility for your sharing and/or handling of such information via the Website.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 and is not intended for children.  Continuing to use the Service will be construed as an acknowledgment that the user is of the legal age to access the Service.  Underage users should immediately cease using the Service.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Pursuant to Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, residents of California have the right to obtain certain information about the types of personal information that companies with whom they have an established business relationship (and that are not otherwise exempt) have shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, including the names and addresses of those third parties, and examples of the types of services or products marketed by those third parties.

Non-US Residents

Cross-Border Data Transfers. The vast majority of your data that we process or store is kept within the United States, and to provide you with certain Services, we may share your information with processors outside of the EU, or with our corporate affiliates and/or vendors. When we process data outside of the EU, we rely on legally-provided mechanisms to transfer data across borders because countries where we process data may have laws which are different, and potentially not as protective as the laws of your own country. By using the Website, you consent to your data being transferred outside of the EU. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, GCBP US is the controller of your Personal Data provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with our Services. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes applicable data protection regulations.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time without prior notice. We have no obligation to notify users of the Service of any changes (although we may voluntarily do so).  Indicated at the top of this Privacy Policy is the date when it was last updated.

INDICATION
ALYGLO™ is indicated for the treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI) in adults aged 17 years and older. This includes, but is not limited to, congenital agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and severe combined immunodeficiencies.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
  • Thrombosis (blood clot formation) can happen with ALYGLO. Factors that increase this risk include advanced age, prolonged immobility, certain medical conditions, and cardiovascular risk factors.
  • ALYGLO may affect the kidneys. In some cases, it can lead to acute renal failure or death.
  • If you’re at risk for blood clots or kidney problems, your doctor should give you ALYGLO at the lowest effective dose and infusion rate. Staying well-hydrated before treatment is essential.
  • ALYGLO is not suitable for people who have had severe allergic reactions to immune globulin or those with IgA deficiency and a history of hypersensitivity.
  • If you experience any signs of hypersensitivity during the infusion, treatment should be stopped and epinephrine (an emergency medication) should be administered immediately.
  • ALYGLO may cause hyperproteinemia, increased serum viscosity, and hyponatremia (low sodium levels).
  • Aseptic Meningitis Syndrome (AMS) is a rare condition that can occur after receiving ALYGLO, especially with high doses or rapid infusion. Symptoms usually start within a few hours to 2 days after treatment. If AMS occurs, stopping ALYGLO usually leads to improvement within several days without lasting effects.
  • Hemolysis, a breakdown of red blood cells, may occur. Some patients may experience delayed hemolytic anemia due to increased sequestration of red blood cells. Severe hemolysis-related kidney dysfunction or disseminated intravascular coagulation has been reported.
  • Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) is a rare complication characterized by severe respiratory distress, pulmonary edema, and fever. Patients with TRALI may need oxygen therapy and ventilator support.
  • ALYGLO is made from human blood, which may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents (such as viruses).
  • After receiving ALYGLO, some antibodies from the treatment may temporarily show up in blood tests. This could lead to misleading results, so your healthcare provider will consider this when interpreting lab results.
  • Common side effects include headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, nasal/sinus congestion, rash, arthralgia, diarrhea, muscle pain/aches, infusion site pain/swelling, abdominal pain/discomfort, cough, and dizziness.
