Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Males or Females aged between 18 and 75 years.

- Diagnosis of AATD, based on documentation of "at-risk" genotypes such as Pi ZZ, SZ or
Znull OR documentation of a pre-therapy AAT level < 11 µM.

- Evidence of COPD (emphysema or airflow obstruction) with FEV1 < 80%

- Receiving standard dose of augmentation therapy (with any commercial formulation) for
at least 1 month at the dose of 60 mg/kg/week.

- At least ONE of the following criteria of disease severity:

- 2 or more acute exacerbations or 1 hospitalization due to respiratory symptoms in
the past 12 months. Definition of exacerbations: the use of antibiotics and a
course of steroids to treat a flare of pulmonary symptoms, regardless if the
subject required emergency room care or hospital admission. The diagnosis of the
acute exacerbation will be obtained by direct history obtained from the patient
and confirmed by the PI. Attempts should be made to have documentation from the
patient's treating physicians, although not required for study entry.

- St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score = 60.

- Chronic bronchitis: daily or almost daily sputum expectoration at least 3 months
of the year for at least 2 consecutive years. The diagnosis of chronic bronchitis
will be obtained by direct history obtained from the patient and confirmed by the
PI. Attempts should be made to have documentation from the patient's treating
physicians, although not required for study entry.

- Documented FEV1 decline of at least = 60 ml/year for 2 consecutive years while
receiving augmentation therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients unsuitable to have a bronchoscopy due to poor clinical condition as judged by
the PI. In general we will exclude subjects with hypoxemia, coagulopathy or FEV1 below 40%
predicted.

Note: Subjects with FEV1 values below 40% predicted may be included and reassessed after
optimization of therapy. Final determination to include the patient if deemed suitable for
the procedure will be determined by the PI before first planned bronchoscopy (regardless of
FEV1 value).

- Patients participating in other clinical trials.

- Use of chronic antibiotics or oral steroids

- Continues to smoke

- Inability to sign informed consent

- Pregnancy or willing to become pregnant

- Known IgA deficiency (we will include only patients already receiving augmentation
therapy so it will be unlikely to encounter this exclusion criteria)
