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).

Eligible Conditions
  • CPFE Syndrome
  • Emphysema
  • Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~over a 2-year period
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and over a 2-year period for reporting.
