Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: belcesiran
Participants who completed the DCR-A1AT-201 treatment period will receive open-label belcesiran administered subcutaneously
|
Drug: Belcesiran
Belcesiran will be administered subcutaneously (SC) in the treatment arm. |
No Intervention: Observational
Participants who completed the DCR-A1AT-201 Conditional Follow-up period will enter DCR-A1AT-202 for continued follow-up (will not receive open-label belcesiran)
