Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the short-term safety of inhaled recombinant alpha 1-antitrypsin (rAAT) in subjects with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. The subjects are randomized to receive placebo or one of 4 doses of rAAT. The 4 doses are tested in a consecutive manner from lowest to highest.

• Baseline arterial oxygen percent saturation (SaO2) within the normal limits for the individual study site
• For subjects receiving an inhaled corticosteroid, ß-2 agonist (eg, albuterol via metered dose inhaler [MDI]) or anticholinergic bronchodilator (eg, ipratropium bromide), treatment on a stable dose for at least 14 days prior to randomization
• If female of childbearing potential, negative urine pregnancy test within 3 days prior to randomization and agreement to employ adequate birth control measures
• No clinically significant abnormalities detected on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) performed no more than 7 days prior to randomization

• Clinically significant cardiac, hemostatic, or neurologic impairment, or other significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would affect subject safety or compliance
• Psychiatric or cognitive disturbance or illness, or recreational drug/alcohol use that, in the opinion of the investigator, would affect subject safety or compliance
• Acute exacerbation of emphysema (as defined in Section 8.5.10) within 28 days prior to randomization
