Study summary

This study is designed to compare two different weekly doses of a medicine called Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor given by injection under the skin with the standard doses of the same medicine given through a vein.

Adults with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency will take part. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, and both the study doctors and participants will know which treatment is being given.

The main goals of the study are to understand how the body processes the medicine (pharmacokinetics) and to assess how safe and well tolerated the different weekly doses are.

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

  • Have a diagnosis of congenital AATD with an allelic combination of ZZ, SZ, Z(null), (null)(null), S(null), or "at-risk" alleles (patients with "at-risk" alleles must be individually evaluated for eligibility by the Medical Monitor). If the genotype has yet to be documented, a blood draw for genotyping (i.e., allelic discrimination) and phenotyping will be obtained at the Screening Visit.
  • Participants may be naïve to alpha1-PI augmentation therapy or may be currently receiving alpha1-PI augmentation therapy or received alpha1-PI augmentation therapy in the past. If the total alpha1-PI serum (alpha-1 antitrypsin [AAT]) level has yet to be documented as in a treatment-naïve patient, a blood draw for total alpha1-PI serum level will be obtained at the Screening Visit. For participants currently receiving alpha1-PI augmentation, a pre-alpha1-PI augmentation AAT level must be documented in the participant's medical history/records.
  • All participants must have a documented total alpha1-PI serum level \<11 μM (80mg/dL if measured by radial immunodiffusion or 50 mg/dL if measured by nephelometry) which is documented pre-alpha1-PI augmentation for participants receiving AAT augmentation.
  • At the Screening Visit, have post-bronchodilator (FEV₁) ≥25% and \<80% predicted of predicted FEV₁/Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) \<70% (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease [GOLD] stage II-III, and some individuals are GOLD stage IV).
  • If the participant has received alpha1-PI augmentation therapy of any kind, he/she must be willing to discontinue that treatment at the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit and remain off any kind of alpha1-PI treatment, other than the IPs of this study, while participating in the study.
  • Willing and able to provide written indicating that they understand the purpose of, and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in it.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have had a moderate or severe (COPD) exacerbation during the 4 weeks before the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit.
  • Have history of lung or liver transplant or on transplantation waiting list.
  • Have any lung surgery during the past 1 year (excluding lung ).
  • At screening, have elevated liver enzymes ( [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], and alkaline phosphatase [ALP]) ≥ 2.5 times the (ULN).
  • Have severe concomitant disease (e.g., congestive heart failure, pulmonary fibrosis, malignant disease [except for skin cancers other than melanoma], history of acute pneumonitis reaction, or current chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis).
  • Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding or, if of †, unwilling to practice a highly effective method of (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. †Women of childbearing potential are defined as premenopausal and not surgically sterile, post tubal ligation, nor documented as infertile due to a concurrent medical condition.

    *True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. (Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods], declaration of abstinence for the duration of a study, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)

  • Have known previous infection with or clinical signs and symptoms consistent with current Virus (HBV), Virus (HCV), or (HIV) infection.
  • Have smoked during the past 6 months (this includes electronic/vapor cigarettes) or a positive urine cotinine test at the Screening Visit that is due to smoking.
  • Received IP in another study within 30 days prior to the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit or received any recombinant human AAT-Fc fusion protein (e.g., INBRX-101) or other extended half-life AAT products within 5 half-lives of the product relative to the Screening Visit date.
  • Have history of anaphylaxis or severe systemic response to any plasma-derived alpha1- PI preparation or other blood product(s).
  • Use systemic 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 (Note: inhaled steroids are not considered systemic steroids). It is recommended to maintain the same dose throughout the study.
  • Use systemic or aerosolized antibiotics for a COPD exacerbation within the 4 weeks prior to the Week 1 (Baseline) Visit.
  • Have known selective or severe Immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency based on prior medical records.
  • In the opinion of the Investigator, the participant may have compliance problems or any medical condition that may place them at safety risk with the protocol and the procedures of the protocol, or because of unstable health be unable to come to the study site for in-person clinic visits required by the protocol.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

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.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

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.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
