TSRA-196 for Lung and Liver Disease in PiZZ Genotype Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
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.

Summary
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.

Criteria
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
