Efficacy and Safety of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human), Modified Process (Alpha-1 MP) in Subjects With Pulmonary Emphysema Due to Alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)
NCT01983241 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of two separate dose regimens of Alpha-1 MP versus placebo for 156 weeks (i.e., 3 years) using computed tomography (CT) of the lungs as the main measure of efficacy. The two Alpha-1 MP doses to be tested are 60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg administered weekly by IV infusion for 156 weeks. The study consists of an optional pre-screening phase, Screening Phase, a 156-week Treatment Phase, and an End of Study Visit at Week 160.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01983241
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01983241 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 345 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Grifols Therapeutics, which has 4 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Pulmonary Emphysema in Alpha-1 PI Deficiency appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Alpha-1 MP is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01983241 reports 20 study locations spanning 16 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Florida, São Paulo, Arizona. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
