Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study to assess the safety and tolerability of 100 mg and 200 mg of inhaled Alpha-1 HC administered once a day for three weeks in subjects aged 18 years and older with cystic fibrosis (CF). The treatment duration in this study was intended to provide multi-dose safety information prior to proceeding to longer durations of exposure.

Alpha-1 HC 100 mg

100 mg of aerosolized Alpha-1 HC inhaled daily via nebulizer for 3 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Alpha-1 HC 100 mg

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Alpha-1 HC is a sterile, liquid preparation of purified alpha1-proteinase inhibitor prepared from pooled human plasma. Alpha-1 HC 100 mg inhaled once daily for 21 days for a total of 21 inhaled treatments.

Alpha-1 HC 200 mg

200 mg of aerosolized Alpha-1 HC inhaled daily via nebulizer for 3 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Alpha-1 HC 200 mg

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Alpha-1 HC is a sterile, liquid preparation of purified alpha1-proteinase inhibitor prepared from pooled human plasma. Alpha-1 HC 200 mg inhaled once daily for 21 days for a total of 21 inhaled treatments.

Placebo

Placebo inhaled daily via nebulizer for 3 weeks. Placebo (phosphate buffer saline with polysorbate).

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Phosphate Buffer Saline with Polysorbate (placebo) composed of the same elements listed for Alpha-1 HC, minus the 50 mg/mL of Alpha-1 HC. Placebo inhaled once daily for 21 days for a total of 21 inhaled treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 18 years or older.
* Documentation of CF diagnosis.
* Have a pre-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥ 40% of predicted at Visit 1 and have a Visit 2 pre-investigational product FEV1 that is ≥ 40% of predicted and within ± 15% of the Visit 1 result.
* Deemed by the Investigator to be a suitable candidate for serial collection of expectorated sputum.

Exclusion Criteria

* Had a pulmonary exacerbation during the 4 weeks before screening (Visit 1) which required the initiation of new antibiotic treatment
* Have a pulmonary exacerbation during the screening period (between Visit 1 and Visit 2) which requires the initiation of new antibiotic treatment
* FEV1 \< 0.59 liters at the screening visit
* Respiratory insufficiency with continuous supplemental oxygen therapy, or carbon dioxide retention
* Elevated aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) that is ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal for age and gender
* Smoking during the past 6 months
* Lung surgery during the past 2 years
* Positive culture for Burkholderia cepacia or mycobacterium during the past two years.
* Active allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
* Pre-treatment sputum collection at Visit 1 or Visit 2 (Randomization) characterized by problems such as inadequate sputum volume or quality.
* Known selective Immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency with known antibody against IgA (anti-IgA antibody).
* History of anaphylaxis or severe systemic response to any plasma-derived alpha1-proteinase inhibitor preparation or other blood product(s), or to polysorbates.
* Use of chronic oral steroids during the study. Note: Inhaled corticosteroids that had been administered for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 were permissible during the study.
* Use of chronic, high dose ibuprofen therapy within 3 weeks of screening and at anytime during the study.
* Chronic maintenance therapy with systemic antibiotics within 3 weeks of screening and through last dose of investigational product.
* Use of leukotriene synthesis inhibitor (zileuton) or leukotriene receptor antagonists (montelukast, zafirlukast) within 3 weeks of screening and at anytime during the study.
* Use of roflumilast within 3 weeks of screening and at any time during the study.
* Initiation of a new chronic medication or dosage change of a chronic medication for treatment of cystic fibrosis (example: Kalydeco™ \[ivacaftor\]) within 3 weeks of screening (Visit 1).
