Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Alpha1-antitrypsin Deficiency Healthy Volunteers | Biological: Alpha1-proteinase inhibitor Biological: Placebo: Human albumin 2.5% | Phase 4 |
To achieve proper masking, 30 participants were randomly assigned to receive either GLASSIA at 0.04 mL/kg/min with a simultaneous administration of placebo (2.5% human albumin in normal saline) at 0.2 mL/kg/min (Cohort 1) or GLASSIA at 0.2 mL/kg/min with a simultaneous administration of placebo at 0.04 mL/kg/min (Cohort 2) on Day 1.
Two weeks later (Day 15), the same participants received the second infusion with the opposite rate of GLASSIA infusion and the corresponding masking placebo infusion.

- If male, the subject must agree to use an acceptable form of birth control throughout the study and for at least 90 days after dosing. Additionally, the subject must agree to abstain from sperm donation for 90 days after the last administration of investigational product.
- Subject is willing and able to comply with the requirements of the protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known history of OR positive serological evidence at the time of screening for hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1/2 infection
- Known history of hypersensitivity or adverse reactions (e.g. urticaria, breathing difficulty, severe hypotension, or anaphylaxis) following administration of blood or blood components
