Efficacy and Safety of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human), Modified Process (Alpha-1 MP) in Subjects With Pulmonary Emphysema Due to Alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Two Dose Regimens (60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg) of Weekly Intravenous Alpha1 Proteinase Inhibitor (Human) in Subjects With Pulmonary Emphysema Due to Alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of two separate dose regimens of Alpha-1 MP versus placebo for 156 weeks (i.e., 3 years) using computed tomography (CT) of the lungs as the main measure of efficacy. The two Alpha-1 MP doses to be tested are 60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg administered weekly by IV infusion for 156 weeks. The study consists of an optional pre-screening phase, Screening Phase, a 156-week Treatment Phase, and an End of Study Visit at Week 160.

  • 51 sites in 17 countries
  • Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Has received alpha1-PI augmentation therapy for more than 1 month within the six months prior to the Screening Visit.
  • Has received alpha1-PI augmentation therapy within one month of the Screening Visit.
  • Has had a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation within the 5 weeks prior to the Screening Visit or during the Screening Phase.
  • Any lung surgery during the past 2 years (excluding lung biopsy).
  • On the waiting list for lung surgery, including lung transplant.
  • Use of systemic steroids above a stable dose equivalent to 5 mg/day prednisone (i.e., 10 mg every 2 days) within the 5 weeks prior to the Screening Visit (inhaled steroids are not considered systemic steroids) or during the Screening Phase.
  • Use of systemic or aerosolized antibiotics for a COPD exacerbation within the 5 weeks prior to the Screening Visit or during the Screening Phase.

Other illness

  • History of lung or liver transplant.
  • History of anaphylaxis or severe systemic response to any plasma-derived alpha1-PI preparation or other blood product(s).

Other

  • Unable to physically (e.g., unable to fit inside the CT scanner) or mentally (e.g., claustrophobic) undergo a CT scan.
  • Smoking during the past 12 months or a positive urine cotinine test at screening that is due to smoking. Maybe on Nicotine replacement, including vapor cigarettes.
  • Known selective or severe Immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency.

Who the study is looking for

  • Have a documented total alpha1-PI serum level \< 11 µM.
  • Have a diagnosis of congenital AATD with an allelic combination of ZZ, SZ, Z(null), (null)(null), S(null), or "at-risk" alleles.
  • At the Screening (Week -3) Visit, have a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (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).
  • Have a carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) ≤ 60% of predicted (corrected for HgB) within the past 2 years OR evidence of pulmonary emphysema on CT scan within the past 2 years per the Investigator's judgment.
  • Have clinical evidence of pulmonary emphysema per the Investigator's judgment.
