Summary

The purpose of this clinical study (ChAMP - Comparability pHarmacokinetics of Alpha-1

Modified Process) is to compare the pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability of Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor (Human), modified process (Alpha-1 MP)and Prolastin in adult Alpha1-antitrypsin deficient patients. Patients will be infused intravenously with study drug on a weekly schedule for 24 weeks.

Clinical Details

Official title: Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Trial to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetic Comparability of Alpha-1 MP to Prolastin in Subjects With Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency.

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Crossover Assignment, Pharmacokinetics Study

Primary outcome: AUC

Secondary outcome: Standard pharmacokinetic parametersAUC ( 0-∞)

Detailed description: The objective of this study is to demonstrate the pharmacokinetic comparability of Alpha-1 MP to Prolastin® in subjects with Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency.

This study is divided into three 8-week treatment sequences including an initial 8-week double-blind treatment period (with one of the 2 study drugs), a second 8-week double-blind treatment period (with the other study drug), and a third 8-week open-label treatment period (with Alpha-1 MP).
