A Study of TSRA-196 in Adults With PiZZ Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, dose escalation (Part 1), dose expansion (Part 2), and single repeat dose (Part 3) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK/PD parameters of TSRA-196 in adults with the PiZZ genotype who have lung and/or liver disease associated with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)

Inclusion criteria

  • Males or females who are 18 to 70 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Body mass index of 18 to 37 kg/m2, inclusive
  • Confirmed diagnosis of AATD and PiZZ genotype
  • At least one previous measure of blood total AAT level <11 µmol/L
  • Nonsmoker for at least 6 months before screening and must remain nonsmoking for the entire study duration
  • Either AAT treatment-naïve or washed out of all investigational or approved treatments that modify AAT levels for 5 half-lives or at least 4 weeks, whichever is longer, before TSRA-196 administration

Parts 1A and 2A (AATD lung disease with no or minimal liver fibrosis)

  • Clinically significant lung disease, defined as 1) evidence of emphysema or bronchiectasis by computed tomography or 2) DLCO <70% of the predicted value or 3) ppFEV1 <80%
  • ppFEV1 ≥35%
  • METAVIR fibrosis score F0 or F1 confirmed by liver biopsy at screening, or a liver stiffness measure by FibroScan ≤7 kPa at screening
  • FIB-4 index score ≤3.25 at screening
  • ALT and/or AST <ULN at screening

Parts 1B and 2B (AATD liver disease with significant or severe liver fibrosis, with or without AATD lung disease)

  • METAVIR fibrosis score F2 or F3 confirmed by liver biopsy at screening. A liver biopsy conducted within 12 months before screening is acceptable as a substitute.
  • Liver stiffness measure by FibroScan >7 and ≤15 kPa at screening
  • ALT and/or AST <2 x ULN at screening

Exclusion criteria

  • Presence of genetic variation in SERPINA1 gene that may disrupt the function of TSRA-196, determined by screening genotyping
  • History of liver disease unrelated to AATD, or history of or clinical signs of cirrhosis
  • Significant lung disease not attributable to manifestations of AATD, as determined by the investigator
  • History of one or more hospitalizations due to severe exacerbation of underlying lung disease during the year before screening or received IV antibiotics for treatment of a pulmonary infection within 6 months before screening
  • Unstable AATD-related COPD, as determined by the investigator, or severe bronchiectasis
  • Lung volume reduction surgery within 1 year before screening or plan to receive lung volume reduction surgery during the study period
  • Documented chronic need for positive airway pressure therapy beyond nocturnal use
  • Seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (HIV-1 or HIV-2)
  • Seropositive for hepatitis B (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb] positive) with detectable HBV DNA
  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA positive at screening (Parts 1A and 2A), or HCV RNA positive and/or HCV antibody positive at screening (Parts 1B and 2B)
  • Has received an organ transplant or is on a waiting list for an organ transplant
  • Prior treatment with gene therapy using viral vectors or intended to permanently change the patient's DNA
  • Any investigational products within 30 days before dosing or plan to take an investigational product before the end of study

Treatment and study plan

TSRA-196

Drug

TSRA-196 is an in-vivo genome editing product formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the treatment of patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), via intravenous (IV) infusion

Primary outcomes

  1. Part 1 (Dose Escalation): Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Time frame: 1 Year

  2. Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Proportion of participants who have serum levels of total alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) greater than or equal to Lower Limit of Normal (LLN) after TSRA-196 treatment

    Time frame: 1 Year

  3. Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Change in functional AAT concentrations (determined using an elastase inhibition assay) from baseline to end of study

    Time frame: 1 Year

  4. Part 3 (Single Repeated Dose): Proportion of participants who have serum levels of total alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) greater than or equal to Lower Limit of Normal (LLN) after a second dose of TSRA-196

    Time frame: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part 1 (Dose Escalation): Proportion of participants who have serum levels of total AAT greater than or equal to LLN after TSRA-196 treatment

    Time frame: 1 Year

  2. Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Incidence of TEAEs and SAEs

    Time frame: 1 Year

  3. Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Proportion of participants who have serum levels of total AAT greater than or equal to 11 μM after TSRA-196 treatment

    Time frame: 1 Year

  4. Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Change in serum levels of total AAT from baseline over time

    Time frame: 1 Year

  5. Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Incidence of Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) from day of dosing through end of study

    Time frame: 1 Year

  6. Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Change over time in safety measures, including clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, and ECG parameters

    Time frame: 1 Year

  7. Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter: Area under the blood concentration time curves (AUC) of TSRA-196
