Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency clinical trials at UCSD

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of BMN 349 in participants with PiZZ or PiMZ/MASH. Primary outcome measures include incidence of any adverse events (including serious adverse events, dose limit toxicities, and adverse events of special interest), incidence of any laboratory test abnormalities, incidence of lung function test abnormalities and 12-lead ECG parameters. Participants will receive a single dose of either BMN 349 or placebo and then monitored for safety and tolerability.

The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran reduces liver scarring (fibrosis) compared to placebo. Other aims are to learn if fazirsiran slows down the disease worsening in the liver, to get information on how fazirsiran affects the body (called pharmacodynamics), to learn if fazirsiran reduces other liver injury (inflammation) and the abnormal Z-AAT protein in the liver, to get information on how the body processes fazirsiran (called pharmacokinetics), to test how well fazirsiran works compared with a placebo in improving measures of liver scarring including imaging and liver biomarkers (substances in the blood that the body normally makes and help show if liver function is improving, staying the same, or getting worse) as well as to check for side effects in participants treated with fazirsiran compared with those who received placebo. Participants will either receive fazirsiran or placebo. Liver biopsies, a way of collecting a small tissue sample from the liver, will be taken twice during this study.
