New treatment option for Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
Official title A Study of AIR-001 in Adults With Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07431112
What this study is testing
What is AIR-001 SAD dose level 1?
AIR-001 SAD dose level 1 is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a Phase 1, open-label, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple dose (MD) study of AIR-001 in participants with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) due to PiZZ genotype.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
