Study summary

This is a multicenter, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized phase 4 study designed to identify the optimal dose of CE1226 (2 active doses) to slow disease progression as assessed by reduced rates of annual lung density decline in alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficient participants over 3 years as compared with the marketed dose 60 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age greater than or equal to (>=) 18 and less than or equal to (\<=) 65 years at the time of providing written .
  • Confirmed diagnosis of emphysema related to AATD with either the PiZZ, PiZ(null), or Pi(null/null) genotype with documented serum AAT levels less than (\<) 11 micrometer (μM) (or \< 50 mg/dL [milligram/deciliter]) at any time before the first administration of CE1226 on Day 1 (Baseline).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants should not have acute illness or pulmonary exacerbation within 6 weeks before the first administration of CE1226 on Day 1 (Baseline).
  • Participants should not have previously received gene therapy for AATD at any point.
  • Participants with liver disease secondary to AATD.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Annual rate of change in adjusted lung density

    The annual rate of change (expressed as gram per liter per year \[g/L/year\]) in adjusted lung density (15th percentile lung density \[PD15\]) will be calculated on CT scan assessments of whole lung at total lung capacity (TLC).

    Time frame: From Baseline to Month 36

Secondary outcomes

  1. Annual rate of change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent predicted (FEV1%)

    The annual rate of change in FEV1% will be assessed by spirometry.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Month 36

  2. Annual rate of change in diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLco)

    The annual rate of change in DLco will be assessed by gas transfer using site machinery.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Month 36

  3. Number of severe pulmonary exacerbations

    Pulmonary excerbations will be assessed by the investigator using Rodriguez-Roisin criteria, where an exacerbation is defined as: a sustained worsening of the patient's condition, from a stable state and beyond normal day-to-day variations, necessitating a change in regular medication in a patient with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A severe exacerbation is defined as an event requiring the introduction of corticosteroids and / or antibiotics which results in hospitalization or death.

    Time frame: From screening up to Month 36

  4. Duration of severe pulmonary exacerbations

    Pulmonary excerbations will be assessed by the investigator using Rodriguez-Roisin criteria, where an exacerbation is defined as: a sustained worsening of the patient's condition, from a stable state and beyond normal day-to-day variations, necessitating a change in regular medication in a patient with underlying COPD. A severe exacerbation is defined as an event requiring the introduction of corticosteroids and / or antibiotics which results in hospitalization or death.

    Time frame: From screening up to Month 36

  5. Number of participants experiencing treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From screening up to Month 36

  6. Percentage of participants experiencing TEAEs

    Time frame: From screening up to Month 36

References and documents

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — CSL will consider on a case-by-case basis requests to share Individual Patient Data (IPD) with external bona-fide, qualified scientific and medical researchers. For information on the process and requirements for submitting a voluntary data sharing request for IPD, please contact CSL at clinicaltrials@cslbehring.com.

Supporting information: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan

Time frame: Requests for IPD will generally be considered once review by major regulatory authorities (i.e. FDA, EMA) is complete and the primary publication is available.

Access criteria: Proposed research should seek to answer a previously unanswered important medical or scientific question. Applicable country specific privacy and other laws and regulations will be considered and may prevent sharing of IPD. If the request is approved and the researcher has executed an appropriate data sharing agreement, IPD that has been appropriately anonymized will be available.

No publications or documents are linked to this record.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
