Clinical Trial Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 72 milligrams per
kilogram (mg/kg) and 144 mg/kg Alpha-1 15%, administered as a single-dose subcutaneous (SC)
infusion and subsequently as weekly SC infusions over 8 weeks in participants with
Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD).

Enrollment Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Have a diagnosis of congenital Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) with an allelic
combination of ZZ, SZ, Z(null), (null)(null), S(null), or "at-risk" alleles (subjects
with "at-risk" alleles must be individually evaluated for eligibility by the Medical
Monitor).
- Have a documented pre-Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (PI) augmentation therapy serum
alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) level <11 micrometer (μM) (80 milligrams per decilitre
(mg/dL) if measured by radial immunodiffusion or 50 mg/dL if measured by
nephelometry).
- Currently receiving Alpha1-PI augmentation therapy or has received Alpha1-PI
augmentation therapy within the past. If the subject is currently receiving Alpha1-PI
augmentation therapy of any kind, he/she must be willing to discontinue that treatment
for at least 25 days prior to the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit and remain off any kind of
Alpha1-PI treatment, other than the IPs for this study, while participating in the
study.
Note: Subjects must not be naïve to Alpha1-PI augmentation therapy for study participation.
- At the Screening Visit, have a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≥30%
and <80% of predicted and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) <70% (Global Initiative for
Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage II or III).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Have had a moderate or severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
exacerbation during the 4 weeks before the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit.
- Have history of lung or liver transplant.
- Have any lung surgery during the past 2 years (excluding lung biopsy).
- Have severe concomitant disease (example, congestive heart failure, clinically
significant pulmonary fibrosis, malignant disease [except for skin cancers other than
melanoma], history of acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis reaction, or current chronic
hypersensitivity pneumonitis).
- Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding or, if of child-bearing potential, unwilling
to practice a highly effective method of contraception (oral, injectable, or implanted
hormonal methods of contraception, placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or
intrauterine system (IUS), condom or occlusive cap with spermicidal
foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, male sterilization, or true abstinence) throughout
the study.
- Have smoked during the past 6 months or a positive urine cotinine test at the
Screening Visit that is due to smoking.
- Participate in another Investigational product (IP) study within one month prior to
the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit.
- Have history of anaphylaxis or severe systemic response to any plasma-derived
Alpha1-PI preparation or other blood product(s).
- Use systemic steroids above a stable dose equivalent to 5 mg/day prednisone (i.e., 10
mg every 2 days) within the 4 weeks prior to the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit. It is
recommended to maintain the same dose throughout the study.
- Use systemic or aerosolized antibiotics for a chronic COPD exacerbation within the 4
weeks prior to the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit.
- Have known selective or severe Immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency.
