glassia infusion rate study

Conditions: Alpha1-antitrypsin Deficiency; Healthy Volunteers

Summary: the purpose of this study was to generate sufficient safety and tolerability information in support of an increase in the infusion rate of intravenous glassia in the prescribing information from 0.04 to 0.2 ml/kg/min.

to achieve proper masking, 30 participants were randomly assigned to receive either glassia at 0.04 ml/kg/min with a simultaneous administration of placebo (2.5% human albumin in normal saline) at 0.2 ml/kg/min (cohort 1) or glassia at 0.2 ml/kg/min with a simultaneous administration of placebo at 0.04 ml/kg/min (cohort 2) on day 1. two weeks later (day 15), the same participants received the second infusion with the opposite rate of glassia infusion and the corresponding masking placebo infusion.
