A phase 2, single-arm, open-label extension study, evaluating the long -term safety and clinical efficacy of inbrx-101 in adults with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (aatd) emphysema (inbrx101)

In plain English

AI plain-English summary

A new drug, INBRX-101, is being tested to see if it can raise alpha-1 antitrypsin levels in the blood of people with AATD emphysema to normal for the first time. This matters because current therapies for AATD emphysema—a genetic condition that destroys lung tissue—cannot achieve normal levels of the protective AAT protein. INBRX-101 has a chemical modification that prevents the drug from breaking down quickly, so it stays active in the lungs longer. The study follows patients for three years to check whether this stability translates into lasting protection against lung damage. If the drug works, it could change the standard of care for AATD emphysema. Instead of merely slowing lung decline, patients might receive a treatment that restores their AAT to a level that actually prevents further damage. That would reduce the need for lung transplants and cut the burden of frequent hospitalisations for respiratory failure. For a rare disease with few good options, a therapy that normalises a key blood protein would be a practical, everyday improvement in how the condition is managed.

This is a Phase 2. Multicentre (multiple study sites), single arm (one investigational medicine), open label extension (you and your study doctor will know the medication you receive) study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the study medication INBRX-101 in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) emphysema (lung disease, due to damage).Participants with AATD emphysema have significantly lower blood level of the protein alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT), AAT has an important function protecting the lungs. INBRX-101 is expected to raise the AAT level in the blood to ‘normal’ physiological levels.Current A1PI therapies fail to achieve normal levels. INBRX-101 differs from other AATD treatments as it has a special modification designed to prevent loss of the AAT activity over time, meaning the AAT is more stable and so remains in the lungs to function forlonger, creating a clear unmet need for INBRX-101. There will be 3 cohorts: cohort 1 will consist of participants (ppts) with newly diagnosed AATD emphysema. Cohort 2 will be ppts who completed the parent study, IRAS ID 1008715, and received Zemaira. Cohort 3 will also be ppts who completed the parent study, but received INBRX-101.INBRX-101 will be administered intravenously (IV, into the vein) every 3 weeks at a dose level of 120 mg/kg. The treatment duration in this study is 3 years. After completing the study treatment, patients will proceed into the safety follow-up phase of the study after the End of Trial Visit. Assessments will include assessment of vital signs as well as blood/urine tests, electrocardiogram, questionnaires, lung function tests, bronchoscopy (if in cohort 1) and a CT scans.
