Filter by:The objective of this study is to prospectively assess whether there is any interval between first symptom and initial diagnosis that is experienced by patients with newly diagnosed alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and then to assess whether this diagnostic interval is associated with worsened clinical status at the time of initial diagnosis.
The aim of this study is to test whether aspirin improves endothelial function in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated lung disease, measured by pulmonary microvascular blood flow on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and with apoptotic endothelial microparticles.
Primary objective: To describe and compare the safety and efficacy of treatment with AAT in chronic pancreatitis patients who undergo total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT).
Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is the third most common genetic disorder leading to death worldwide. Apart from lung disease, AATD also leads to liver involvement in up to 50% of patients. Hence, liver involvement is the second most common cause of morbidity and mortality in AATD patients. But the natural history of disease in adults is not well understood and specific therapies are still in the phase of preclinical studies. Despite these facts and the therapeutic and preventative potential, the AATD-related liver disease is still largely being neglected by both the patients and the healthcare professionals. To improve the hepatologic care of patients with AATD, the investigators initiated a prospective multi-center study in Europe that systematically evaluates the liver function in these patients and their relatives. The investigators cooperate with both patient organizations as well as with lung centers specialized on AATD-related lung disease.
Noninvasive monitoring of liver fibrosis is an unmet need within the clinical management of pediatric chronic liver disease. While liver biopsy is often used in the initial diagnostic evaluation, subsequent biopsies are rarely performed because of inherent invasiveness and risks. This study will evaluate the role of non-invasive FibroScan™ technology to detect and quantify liver fibrosis.
Patients with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) will be enrolled to receive multiple doses of ARC-AAT Injection. All subjects will require a pre-dose biopsy and a biopsy post last dose.
This is a multi-center, open-label study to evaluate the long-term safety of weekly intravenous (IV) infusions of 60 mg/kg alpha1-PI (human), modified process (Alpha-1 MP) in adult participants with Alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) in Japan who have completed Study GTI1401 (NCT02870309).
This study is a multicenter, open-label trial to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of weekly intravenous infusions of 60 mg/kg of Alpha-1 MP (alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (human), modified process) for 8 weeks.
The goal of this study is to better understand why some Alpha-1 genotype MZ (PiMZ) individuals develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) while others do not. This study will examine portions of the Alpha-1 gene that are not routinely tested to determine whether other changes in this gene correlate with development and progression of COPD. Participation involves responding to questionnaires about lung health and history, and performing an at-home finger stick to obtain blood spots using a test kit that is mailed. The blood provided will be used for genetic testing and correlation of results with COPD history. Participants will receive their results and access to genetic counseling at the conclusion of the study.
This is a 2-year open-label, multicenter extension of the double-blind, placebo-controlled GTi1201 study. The purpose of this study is to obtain an additional 2 years of safety data for intravenously administered Alpha1-MP 60 mg/kg/week in subjects with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD).
