Study Aim

This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TSRA-196 in increasing alpha-1 antitrypsin levels in individuals with lung and liver disease due to the PiZZ genotype of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

Study start date: December 1, 2025

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The study focuses on a new treatment called TSRA-196 for adults with a specific genetic condition known as the PiZZ genotype. This condition can cause serious lung and liver problems due to a lack of a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin. The trial aims to test the safety and effectiveness of TSRA-196, as well as how the body processes it. This research is important because current treatments for this condition are limited, and this new medication could potentially offer a better solution for those affected by severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). Participants in the study will receive doses of TSRA-196 to determine the safest and most effective amount. This involves a process where doses are gradually increased, followed by a phase where the treatment is expanded to more participants, and finally, a single repeat dose is given. Researchers will monitor for any side effects and measure the levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin in the blood to see if they reach normal levels after treatment. The main focus is to ensure the treatment is safe while checking if it effectively increases the protein levels in participants' bodies.
