Condition(s) targeted: Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

Intervention: alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor (human) (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Summary

The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and tolerability of Alpha-1 MP in adult Alpha1-antitrypsin deficient patients.

Clinical Details

Official title: Multi-Center, Open-Label Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Alpha-1 MP in Subjects With Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (AAT) Deficiency

Study design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome: treatment-emergent adverse events

Secondary outcome:

all adverse events

Laboratory data outside normal range

Detailed description: The objective of this clinical trial (STAMP: Safety and Tolerability of Alpha-1 Modified Process) is to study the safety and tolerability of Alpha-1 MP in adult Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficient subjects as reported over 20 weeks of therapy. The primary objective is to describe the nature and frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events with "treatment-emergent" defined as any adverse event occurring after the start of the first study drug infusion.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Documented diagnosis of congenital Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency

- Documented FEV1 between 20% - 80% of predicted value within last 6 months.

- Signed written informed consent prior to initiation of any study related procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Females who are pregnant, breast feeding, or if of child-bearing potential, unwilling

to practice adequate contraception throughout the study
