Brief Summary:
The current study population will consist of adult patients with congenital alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency who have moderate or severe airflow limitation (forced expiratory volume in 1 second 40% ≤ [FEV1] ≤ 80% of predicted) and FEV1/slow vital capacity [SVC] ≤ 70% and who have not experienced two or more moderate or one or more severe exacerbations of COPD during the past year. A total of 220 patients will be recruited, and after 4 weeks practice inhaling saline with the nebulizer, will be randomized 1:1 to inhale either 80 mg/day "Kamada-AAT for Inhalation" or a placebo with identical appearance. Patients will be treated for 104 weeks and then followed up for a further 26 weeks. Over this time there will be 13 visits to the clinical site and in addition the patients will be required to fill out a daily e-diary.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Drug: Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Individuals with a genetic deficiency of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AATD) are at a significantly increased risk (80-100%) of developing emphysema. This study is designed to administer a solution of AAT by nebulizer so that patients can inhale the drug instead of requiring infusions as in current treatment. A significant advantage of inhalation is that the AAT is directly transferred to the lungs, which is the site most in need of the protein. Previous results show that in addition to the added convenience, three times higher concentrations of AAT can be achieved in the lungs by inhalation than by intravenous infusions. To date, more than 220 patients have completed Inhalation studies for several indications.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Diagnosis of severe AAT deficiency, i.e. patients with either Pi(ZZ), Pi(Z/Null), or Pi(Null/Null) genotypes confirmed by genotype blood test documented prior to screening.
  2. Serum AAT levels ≤ 11 µM at screening.
  3. Lung disease with clinical evidence of airflow limitation (post bronchodilator FEV1/SVC ≤ 70%) at screening.
  4. 40% ≤ FEV1 ≤ 80% of predicted post-bronchodilator at screening.
  5. Patients who are either naïve or washed out of any AAT treatment for at least 8 weeks prior to randomization.
