Study to learn more about the safety of Fazirsiran and to find out if it can help people with an alpha-1-antitrypsin liver disease with mild liver scarring (fibrosis).
Zusammenfassung der Studie
This is a double-blind study. This means that neither the participants in the study nor the investigators know which treatment the participant is receiving (Fazirsiran or placebo). Participants will be screened to determine if they are eligible for the study. This process is called screening and can take up to 2 months (8 weeks). After that, participants who meet the study requirements will receive their assigned study treatment (Fazirsiran or placebo) on Day 1, then in Month 1 (Week 4) and then every 3 months (12 weeks) for a duration of almost 2 years (100 weeks). A liver biopsy is a procedure to take a small tissue sample from the liver. Liver biopsies will be performed during screening and about 6 weeks after the last dose of Fazirsiran or placebo (at Week 106). Participants will then have visits 3 and 6 months after their last dose to be checked for side effects. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio (like flipping a coin) to the placebo or Fazirsiran group and will receive subcutaneous injections in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

Untersuchte Intervention
Fazirsiran is a medication that lowers the production of the Z-AAT protein and thus reduces the accumulation of this abnormal protein in the liver. The study includes individuals with this type of liver disease who already have mild liver scarring. They will be treated for about 2 years with Fazirsiran or placebo. The placebo looks like Fazirsiran but contains no active ingredient. The study will investigate the long-term safety of Fazirsiran and whether participants tolerate the treatment.
Aside from the fact that participants receive either Fazirsiran or placebo, the other parts of the study are the same for both groups.

Untersuchte Krankheit(en)
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency-related liver disease In some people, the liver produces an abnormal version of the protein alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT), called Z AAT. The production of the abnormal version of the AAT protein can lead to liver disease by accumulating Z AAT in liver cells, leading to liver problems such as scarring (fibrosis), ongoing liver damage (cirrhosis), and ultimately advanced liver disease.
(BASEC)
The study includes men and women aged 18 to 75 years who have the following characteristics: -the specific gene for abnormal Z-AAT protein (confirmed by a genetic test) and already have scarring (fibrosis) of the liver of grade F1, as evidenced by the liver biopsy. -sufficient lung function. (BASEC)
Ausschlusskriterien
Potential study participants cannot participate in the study if they: -have liver scarring of grade F2, F3, or F4, as evidenced by the liver biopsy. -have previously shown symptoms or signs of liver failure or other types of chronic liver disease. -have recently, currently, or frequently had pneumonia or breathing difficulties, or require long-term treatment with oxygen.

Ein-/Ausschlusskriterien
Inclusion Criteria:
- In the opinion of the investigator, the participant is capable of understanding and
fully complying with the protocol requirements and adhering to the protocol
schedule.
- The participant is able to read, understand, and complete the study questionnaires
electronically per the investigator's judgment.
- The participant signs and dates a written Informed Consent Form (ICF). Any required
privacy authorization should also be signed before the initiation of any study
procedures.
- The participant, of any sex, is aged 18 to 75 years, inclusive.
- The participant must have a diagnosis of the protease inhibitor Z mutation (PiZZ)
genotype AATD. A diagnosis of PiZZ from source-verifiable medical records is
permitted. Otherwise, participants must undergo PiZZ confirmatory testing
(genotyping for PiS and PiZ alleles) at screening. PiMZ or PiSZ genotypes are not
permitted.
- The participant's liver biopsy core samples collected as per protocol requirements.
- The participant has evidence of METAVIR stage F1 liver fibrosis, evaluated by a
centrally read baseline liver biopsy during the screening period or confirmed as
meeting all the entry criteria by central reading from a previous biopsy conducted
within 1 year before the estimated enrollment date using an adequate liver biopsy
and slides as defined in the study laboratory manual.
- The participant has a pulmonary status that meets the protocol requirements.
- It must be confirmed that the participant does not have hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC).
- Any participant who is taking statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors,
angiotensin II receptor blockers, or beta-1 selective adrenergic receptor inhibitors
must have been receiving a stable dose of these medications for at least 8 weeks
before randomization. All attempts are to be made for the participant to continue
the same dose of the medication for the duration of study participation.
- An adult participant must have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 39 kilogram
