ARALAST NP Alpha-1 Lung Density Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-Emphysema (COPD-E) Study

September 10, 2020 updated by: Shire

A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ARALAST NP 60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg for Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor (A1PI) Augmentation Therapy in Subjects With A1PI Deficiency and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-Emphysema (COPD-E)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ARALAST NP A1PI augmentation therapy 120 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) body weight (BW)/week compared with an external placebo comparator on the loss of emphysematous lung tissue measured by lung density change in participants with A1PI deficiency and COPD-E.

  • Receiving chronic 24 hours/day oxygen supplementation (other than for an acute COPD exacerbation, or supplemental oxygen with continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP], or bi-level positive airway pressure [BiPAP] for acute respiratory failure)
  • Known selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency (IgA level < 7 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL] at screening) with anti-IgA antibodies and a history of hypersensitivity reaction
  • Known history of hypersensitivity following infusions of human immunoglobulins, human albumin, blood or blood components
  • Presence of clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at the screening that in the opinion of the investigator would impact the participant's safety, if enrolled in the study
  • Presence of any of the following that in the opinion of the investigator, would affect participant's safety or compliance or confound the results of the study, including known clinically significant medical, psychiatric, or cognitive illness, is a recreational drug/alcohol user, or has any other uncontrolled medical condition (eg, unstable angina, transient ischemic attack, uncontrolled hypertension)
  • Known exposure to another IP within 28 days prior to enrollment or is scheduled to participate in another clinical study involving an IP or investigational device during the course of this study
  • Participant is a family member or employee of the investigator
  • If female, participant is pregnant or nursing at the time of enrollment

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Annual Rate of the Physiologically Adjusted Lung Density Change
Time Frame: Baseline, up to Week 104
Annual rate of the physiologically adjusted lung density change will be measured as the 15th percentile of the lung density measurements (PD15) as assessed by Computed Tomography (CT) densitometry at total lung capacity (TLC). CT lung density at the 15th percentile (PD15) is the threshold below which 15 percentage (%) of the voxels have lower densities and is used as the parameter for estimating the rate of lung density decline. Annual rate of the physiologically adjusted lung density change will be tested in a fixed comparision sequence 1. ARALAST NP 120 mg/kg BW/week group versus (vs) external placebo group, 2. ARALAST NP120 mg/kg BW/week vs 60 mg/kg BW/week, 3. ARALAST NP 60 mg/kg BW/week group vs external placebo group.
Baseline, up to Week 104

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Moderate or Severe Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Time Frame: Baseline, up to Week 104
COPD exacerbations are defined as an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms that results in additional therapy and will be assessed according to the classification in GOLD criteria (2020) as follows: Moderate (treated with short acting bronchodilators [SABDs] plus antibiotics and/or oral corticosteroids) and Severe (required hospitalizations or a visit to the emergency room).
Baseline, up to Week 104
Annual Rate of Change in Post-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)
Time Frame: Baseline, up to Week 104
Annual rate of change in post-bronchodilator FEV1 will be assessed.
Baseline, up to Week 104
Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE's)
Time Frame: From Start of the study drug administration up to End of the study (up to Week 105)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this IP or medicinal product. A TEAE is defined as any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an IP or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the IP or medicinal product. TEAE's will include related, serious adverse events (SAEs), suspected adverse reactions plus adverse reactions of interest, temporally-associated adverse events (AEs) with onset during infusion or within 24 hours following the end of IP infusion, and AEs resulting in changes to infusion dose.
From Start of the study drug administration up to End of the study (up to Week 105)
Number of Participants Who Develop Anti-A1PI Antibodies Following Treatment With ARALAST NP
Time Frame: From Start of the study drug administration up to End of the study (up to Week 105)
Number of participants who develop anti- A1PI antibodies following treatment with ARALAST NP will be assessed.
From Start of the study drug administration up to End of the study (up to Week 105)
Plasma Trough Level of Antigenic and Functional A1PI for ARALAST NP at each dose Level
Time Frame: Pre-dose, Weeks 4, 13, 28, 52, 78, 91, 104, 105
Plasma trough level of antigenic and functional A1PI for ARALAST NP at each dose level (ARALAST NP 60 mg/kg BW/week, ARALAST NP 120 mg/kg BW/week) will be assessed.
