What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. AUC(0-7 Days) Based on Antigenic Content

    The primary PK objective of this study was to demonstrate the bioequivalence of Liquid Alpha₁-PI 60 mg/kg to Prolastin-C 60 mg/kg, as measured by AUC from 0 to 7 days (AUC0-7days) using an antigenic content assay of alpha₁-PI, at approximate steady state in subjects with AATD.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 5 days, 7 days post dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. AUC(0-7 Days) Based on Functional Activity

    The exploratory PK objective of this study was to demonstrate the bioequivalence of Liquid Alpha₁-PI 60 mg/kg to Prolastin-C 60 mg/kg, as measured by AUC from 0 to 7 days (AUC 0-7 days) using a functional activity assay of alpha₁-PI, at approximate steady state in subjects with AATD.

    Measured: pre-dose, 0, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 5 days, 7 days post dose

  2. Number of Subjects With Immunogenicity Response

    Blood samples for immunogenicity testing were collected at Weeks 1 (Baseline), 9, 17, and 20. Any samples that tested positive for alpha₁-PI antibodies were tested for neutralizing antibodies and antibody titer. Immunogenicity testing was performed using validated assays in a multitiered approach. Samples collected at Week 1 (Baseline) and at Weeks 9 and 20 were tested for immunogenicity while samples collected at Week 17 were to be tested for immunogenicity only if deemed appropriate (eg, unexpected PK profile).

    Measured: Weeks 1, 9, 17, and 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Liquid Alpha₁-PI and Prolastin-C in people with Alpha₁-Antitrypsin Deficiency, run by Grifols Therapeutics LLC at 6 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

AUC(0-7 Days) Based on Antigenic Content (time frame: pre-dose, 0, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 5 days, 7 days post dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2017.
