Screening for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in Lung Blockage
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study screens for a rare genetic condition called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in people with lung blockage. It aims to find out if this deficiency is a hidden cause of your breathing problems, which could lead to better treatment options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your lung function test shows a specific type of blockage (FEV1/FVC ratio 70% or higher).
- You can speak and understand Turkish.
- You are able to understand and answer questions about your health.
- You do not have certain other conditions like kidney disease, active inflammation, rheumatologic or blood diseases, liver disease, COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, or a history of cancer.
- You are not pregnant and do not use birth control pills.

This study follows adults with a genetic condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (a rare protein deficiency) who have liver disease. Researchers will examine stored blood and tissue samples to understand why some people's livers are damaged more than others, which may help develop better treatments.
This trial tests a new medicine called TSRA-196 for people with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency who have the PiZZ genetic type. The study looks at whether TSRA-196 can help with lung or liver problems related to this condition.
This study checks whether doing alpha-1 screening (genetic test and a blood level test) can help identify alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in people at risk. It may be useful if you have symptoms or a family history, but you haven’t had qualifying testing yet.
This study looks at how lung disease changes a type of blood cell called white blood cells. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the lungs and how to better monitor or treat lung problems.
This study looks at how alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency affects the liver in adults. It aims to learn more about the liver problems caused by this condition and may help find better ways to manage them.
This study tests a new gene therapy called KB408 for people with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). It aims to see if KB408 can help your body produce enough of the missing protein to protect your lungs and liver.
