24 weeks

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered with a pharmaceutical product. The adverse event does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Alpha-1 MP vs. Prolastin® of Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Day 0 to Day 7
Day 0 to Day 7

The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the pharmacokinetic comparability (geometric least square mean ratio of AUC between the Alpha-1 MP vs. Prolastin®, 90% confidence interval falls within 0.80-1.25, FDA Guidance as being "bioequivalent" between two treatments) of Alpha-1 MP to Prolastin® in subjects with alpha-1-anti-trypsin (AAT) deficiency by comparing AUC from Day 0 to Day 7 of plasma Alpha1-PI measured by the functional activity (potency) assay. AUC from Day 0 to Day 7 was calculated at steady state at the end of the first and second 8-week treatment periods during the 16-week double-blind, crossover phase.

Up to Week 12

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether considered related to the medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as any AE occurring after or on the first Alpha-1 MP infusion until the final visit of study.

Number of Participants With Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs)
Up to Week 12

ADRs were defined as adverse events (AEs) which were in the investigator's opinion of causal relationship to the study treatment. AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product.

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Up to Week 12

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 inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

Number of Discontinuations Due to Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Up to Week 12

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether considered related to the medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as any AE occurring after or on the first Alpha-1 MP infusion until the final visit of study. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

Number of Participants With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations

COPD exacerbation was defined as an increase in respiratory symptoms (dyspnea, increased cough, and/or production of sputum) over baseline that usually requires medical intervention.

Number of Participants With Discontinuations Due to Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
From start of study drug administration through 30 days after last study drug infusion (Up to 228 weeks)

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a medicinal product or study treatment and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this administration. An AE was considered serious in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening AE; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Vital Signs
From start of study drug administration through 30 days after last study drug infusion (Up to 228 weeks)

Vital signs included analysis of heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature. Clinically significant findings in vital signs were based on investigator's discretion.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Clinical Laboratory Parameters
Extension (Ext) Weeks 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, 156,182, 208 (prior to study drug administration) until end of study (Up to 228 weeks)

Clinical laboratory parameters included analysis of hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis. Clinically significant findings in clinical laboratory parameters were based on investigator's discretion.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
Extension (Ext) Weeks 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, 156,182, 208 (prior to study drug administration) until end of study (Up to 228 weeks)

Pulmonary function tests were measured by spirometry. It included Forced Expired Volume in 1 second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), which were performed according to American Thoracic Society/ European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) guidelines. FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. FVC is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. PFTs were performed before infusion both pre- and post-bronchodilator administration. The post-bronchodilator PFT was performed 15 to 30 minutes after bronchodilator administration. The same bronchodilator was used throughout the study. Clinically significant findings in pulmonary function tests were based on investigator's discretion.
