A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Two Different Doses of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor Subcutaneous (Human) 15% in Participants With Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

December 5, 2025 updated by: Grifols Therapeutics LLC

A Multi-Center, Single-Dose and Repeat-Dose Over Eight Weeks, Sequential Cohort Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability as Well as Pharmacokinetics of Two Different Doses of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor Subcutaneous (Human) 15% Administered Subcutaneously in Subjects With Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 72 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and 180 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).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

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).
  • Subjects may be naïve to Alpha1-PI augmentation therapy or may be currently receiving Alpha1-PI augmentation therapy or 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.
  • 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.
