What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Change in Lung Density Based on Group 1 (ARALAST NP) Versus Placebo, Group 3 and Group 4 (GLASSIA) Versus Placebo

    Rate of change in lung density was assessed by computed tomography (CT) densitometry. Computed Tomography (CT) scans was used to measure lung density as a quantitative assessment of emphysema progression and treatment efficacy at each of the study visits. CT lung density at the 15th percentile (PD15) is the threshold below which 15% of the voxels have lower densities, and was used as the parameter for estimating the rate of lung density decline. Rate of change in lung density based on Group 1 (ARALAST NP) versus Placebo, Group 3 and Group 4 (GLASSIA) versus Placebo were reported. The safety analysis set used for all the efficacy parameter assessment.

    Measured: Baseline, Early termination of the study (approximately 22 months)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Rate of Change in Lung Density for Each Treatment Group

    Rate of change in lung density was assessed by computed tomography (CT) densitometry for each treatment group. Computed Tomography (CT) scans was used to measure lung density as a quantitative assessment of emphysema progression and treatment efficacy at each of the study visits. The safety analysis set used for all the efficacy parameter assessment.

    Measured: Baseline, Early termination of the study (approximately 22 months)

  2. Mean Steady State Trough Concentration of Antigenic and Functional Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (A1PI) for ARALAST NP and GLASSIA at Each Dose Level

    Mean steady state trough concentration of antigenic and functional alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (a1pi) for ARALAST NP and GLASSIA at each dose level was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, Early termination of the study (approximately 22 months)

  3. Number of Events With Related and Unrelated Serious and Non-Serious Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    An Adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. TEAEs were defined as AEs with a start date on or after the first dose of double-blind investigational product or a start date before the date of the first dose of double-blind investigational product that increased in severity or after the date of the first dose. TEAE related to Investigational Product (IP) and Study Procedures (SP) were considered. A non-serious AE is an AE that does not meet the criteria of an SAE. Number of events with related and unrelated serious and non-serious TEAE were reported.

    Measured: From start of study treatment up to early termination of the study (approximately 22 months)

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 8 inclusion and 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, Canada, Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

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 8 Oct 2019). 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?

Rate of Change in Lung Density Based on Group 1 (ARALAST NP) Versus Placebo, Group 3 and Group 4 (GLASSIA) Versus Placebo (time frame: Baseline, Early termination of the study (approximately 22 months)). 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 May 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
