Study of AIR-001 for adults with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests an experimental RNA-based medicine (AIR-001) for people with a genetic form of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). It aims to see if the drug can help boost your body's own protective protein levels and may slow lung damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You need a confirmed Pi*ZZ genotype (a specific genetic type causing alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency) and low levels of the protective AAT protein in your blood.
- You must not have used AAT augmentation therapy (infusions) in the last month and agree not to use it during the study.
- You cannot have smoked or vaped for at least 6 months.
- Your lung function (FEV1) must be at least 40% of what is expected for your age and height.
- You must not have severe liver scarring or other serious health conditions like uncontrolled heart disease or active infections.

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.
This trial tests a new treatment called BEAM-302, which aims to correct the genetic defect that causes alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. It may help prevent further lung and liver damage in people with the PiZZ mutation.
This study is looking at people with a specific mild form of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (PiMZ) to understand how their lung disease progresses over time. It involves lung function tests and CT scans, and may help researchers learn more about the condition.
This trial tests a gene therapy to fix the genetic cause of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, aiming to stop or slow emphysema. It is for people with the most common harmful gene variants who have mild to moderate lung damage and are otherwise healthy enough to take steroids safely.
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 collects health information from people who have alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve care over time.
