Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- 18 to 65 years of age and willing to sign informed consent.

- Males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females whose screening pregnancy test is
negative and who are using contraceptives methods deemed reliable by the investigator.

- Diagnosis of alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (A1-PI) deficiency (serum A1-PI levels < 11
µM or < 80 mg/dL). This includes newly diagnosed subjects, previously untreated
subjects, currently treated subjects, and subjects currently not on treatment therapy
but on treatment in the past.

- Subjects with emphysema and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) = 35% and =
70% (predicted).

- No signs of chronic or acute Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV infection
(negative serologies for HIV and viral hepatitis). In case of positive serologies for
viral hepatitis, vaccination status or negative IgM should be available.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
65 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Any relevant chronic diseases or history of relevant diseases (e.g., severe renal
insufficiency) except respiratory or liver disease secondary to alpha1-proteinase
inhibitor deficiency. Subjects with well-controlled, chronic diseases may be included
after consultation with the treating physician and the sponsor.

- Current evidence of alcohol abuse or history of abuse of illegal and/or legally
prescribed drugs such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, cocaine,
opioids, and cannabinoids.

- History of allergy, anaphylactic reaction, or severe systemic response to human plasma
derived products, or known mannitol hypersensitivity, or history of prior adverse
reaction to mannitol.

- History of transfusion reactions.

- Selective IgA deficiency.

- Acute illness within one week prior to the first administration of the investigational
medicinal product (IMP). Start of treatment after recovery is possible.

- Current tobacco smoker (smoking has to be ceased at least 6 months prior study
inclusion). Subjects with a positive cotinine test due to nicotine replacement therapy
(e.g. patches, chewing gum) or snuff are eligible.

- Conditions or behaviors that interfere with attending scheduled study visits in the
opinion of the investigator.

- History of non-compliance.

- Administration of any other experimental new drug or participation in an investigation
of a marketed product within one month prior to the screening visit date.

- Inability to perform necessary study procedures.

- Lung transplantation, lung volume reduction surgery or lobectomy or being on a waiting
list for any such surgeries.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter phase III/IV study to
compare the efficacy and safety of Zemaira® with placebo in subjects with emphysema due to
alpha1-proteinase inhibitor deficiency. The effect of Zemaira® on the progression of
emphysema will be assessed by the decline of lung density, measured by computed tomography
(CT).
