Overall Study Design and Description:
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled study 
of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT versus placebo plus SMT in subjects with COVID-19 
who are hospitalized. Symptomatic subjects with positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR; 
reverse transcriptase [RT]-PCR) or nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) for SARS-
CoV-2 (or other commercial or public health assay approved by regulatory authorities) will 
receive placebo plus SMT or SMT plus Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) given as two intravenous 
(IV) doses of 120 mg/kg (body weight) one week apart (on Day 1 and Day 8); if the subject is 
discharged from hospital then the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and is at the discretion of the 
Principal Investigator and subject.
Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. Discharged subjects will be evaluated on 
Days 15 and 29. Phone Checks will occur at Day 60 and Day 90 for vital status (living or 
deceased), any hospital re-admissions, or serious/non-serious adverse events after the Day 29 
Final Clinic Visit. Details are provided in Appendix 1 (Schedule of Study Procedures).
The first 6 subjects randomized will be staggered with an interval of no less than 1 week 
between subjects. If there are no definitely related serious adverse events (SAEs) reported by 
the time Day 8 is completed by the 6th subject, competitive enrollment would ensue thereafter. 
If a definitely related SAE were to be reported among these 6 subjects, and the subject was 
found by the Study-Independent Safety Review Committee (SISRC) to be randomized to the 
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT arm, the SISRC would carefully review and evaluate the 
case and make appropriate recommendations with regard to study status.
Number of Subjects Planned:
Approximately 100 subjects will be randomized (1:1) with an interim analysis after 50 
subjects (approximately 25 per group).  Due to the exploratory nature of this phase 2 study, the 
multiplicity adjustments will not be considered; full details will be described in the statistical 
analysis plan. This interim evaluation is part of Sponsor safety due diligence.
Interim Futility Analysis: An interim futility analysis will be conducted to assess whether the 
trial will be terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility) based on all available data assessable 
for the primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints.
Diagnosis and Main Criteria for Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:

blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) infusion, the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and is at the 
discretion of the Principal Investigator and subject. Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) has a 
concentration of alpha1-proteinase inhibitor of 50 mg/mL. For a subject weighing 75 kg each 
dose of 120 mg/kg (on Day 1 and Day 8) will require 180 mL of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) to 
achieve the specified 120 mg/kg dose.
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) is clear, colorless or pale yellow or pale green. Do not use if 
discolored or cloudy. Before delivery to the subject, Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) should be 
brought to room temperature and administered at room temperature for comfort to the subject. 
Pooled Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) solution should be maintained at room temperature for 
administration within 3 hours.
Subjects will be randomized to either Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) 120 mg/kg or the same 
volume of normal saline as a placebo. Both treatment arms will filter the solution during 
administration using an IV administration set with a suitable 5 to 15-micron infusion filter. 
Infuse Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) separately, without mixing with other agents or diluting 
solutions. Infuse Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) IV at 0.08 mL/kg/min as determined by subject
response and comfort. Both treatment arms’ infusion lines can be flushed with 0.9% sodium 
chloride for injection. Do Not flush with heparin.
Duration of Treatment:
Subjects will receive blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or placebo on Day 1 and Day 8; for 
all subjects SMT will be continued throughout the subject’s hospitalization. Subject 
participation (from Screening Visit to the Final Visit) will be approximately 30 days. After the 
Day 29 Final Clinic Visit, phone checks will occur at Day 60 and Day 90 for follow-up of vital 
status (living or deceased), any hospital re-admissions, or serious/non-serious adverse events.
Reference Therapy, Dose and Mode of Administration
Reference therapy will be standard medical treatment for COVID-19 plus sterile 0.9% sodium 
chloride injection, United States Pharmacopeia (0.9% NaCl, USP) or equivalent used as placebo. 
The infusion solution will be at a volume commensurate to that required for the appropriate 
weight-based dose of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) and visually masked to maintain the blind.
Key Study Variables:
The primary efficacy variable is the proportion of subjects dying or requiring ICU admission 
on or before Day 29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive 
mechanical ventilation on Day 29.
The secondary efficacy variables include:
•
Assessment of Clinical Severity: Change in NEWS from baseline (Day 1 through Day 29)
•
The NEWS has demonstrated an ability to discriminate patients at risk of poor outcomes. 
This score is based on 7 clinical parameters (respiration rate, oxygen saturation, any 
supplemental oxygen, temperature, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, level of 
8 of 94

attributable to the disease for which the investigational product is being studied. It may be an 
increase in the severity of the targeted disease and/or increases in the symptoms of the targeted 
disease. Anticipated symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, hypoxia, dyspnea, 
hemoptysis, myalgia, fatigue, pharyngitis, which may develop at any time during the course of 
the disease. The development of COVID-19 symptoms during the clinical study should not be 
recorded as individual TEAEs, unless there is evidence suggesting a causal relationship 
between blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)/Placebo and the TEAE.
Study Assessments and Procedures:
A complete schedule of study procedures and events are located in Appendix 1.
Clinical status will be evaluated for all hospitalized subjects daily with vital signs, Ordinal 
Scale, and NEWS at Screening/Baseline, during and after Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus 
SMT or placebo plus SMT treatment and during Follow-up. The NEWS calculation is 
delineated in Appendix 2 and can be calculated using the on-line web tool at 
https://www.mdcalc.com/national-early-warning-score-news
All subjects will be followed daily through Day 10 (note: for Day 6 through Day 10, this 
stipulation is for as long as subjects are hospitalized). After Day 6, if subjects are discharged 
from the hospital, evaluations at Day 15 and 29 are required.  Subjects remaining hospitalized 
will be followed daily through Day 29. Phone Checks will occur at Day 60 and Day 90 for 
10 of 94

events after the Day 29 Final Clinic Visit.
Respiratory samples for quantitative measurement of SARS-CoV-2 viral load by NAT or PCR 
(real-time RT-PCR) will be obtained on Day 1, and subsequently on Day 5± 1 day, Day 15± 1 
day, and Day 29 ± 1 day (obtained via nasopharyngeal swab). The results of these samples are 
not necessary for continuing on study. Similarly, blood samples for quantitative measurement 
of IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 via enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 
Indirect Fluorescent Antibody (IFA) or other assay methodology will be drawn at the same 
time points: Day 1, and subsequently on Day 5± 1 day, Day 15± 1 day, and Day 29 ± 1 day. 
The results of these samples are not necessary for continuing on study. These laboratory tests 
will be performed at a central/external lab.
Ferritin, D-dimer, CRP and Basic chemistry analytes (creatinine, albumin, alanine 
aminotransferase [ALT], total bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) will be assessed on 
Day 1 and on Day 5± 1 day, Day 15± 1 day, and Day 29 ± 1 day. An estimated glomerular 
filtration rate (eGFR) will also be calculated at these time points using the Cockcroft-Gault 
formula.
Hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, absolute neutrophil & lymphocyte count, 
leukocyte count with differential) will be assessed on Day 1, on Day 5± 1 day, Day 15± 1 day, 
and Day 29 ± 1 day. A cytokine panel will be performed on Day 1, and on Day 5± 1 day, Day 
15 ± 1 day, and Day 29 ± 1 day. Cytokine panel includes IL-1β, IL-10, IL-6, IL-8 IL-2, 
interferon γ, and TNF-α. Note: serum samples must be stored at -70° C for later analysis at a 
reference laboratory. Levels of alpha 1-PI (AAT) activity and antigen will be evaluated on 
Day 1, on Day 8± 1 day, Day 15± 1 day, and Day 29 ± 1 day; both plasma (sodium citrate) and 
serum samples to be stored at - 70° C for measurement of both antigenic content and 
functional activity (potency) (all samples are mandatory at all time points regardless of 
hospital discharge status, except for the Day 8 AAT activity and antigen which is not required 
if subjects are discharged from the hospital and no 2nd blinded study drug infusion is 
administered).
Statistical Methods:
Descriptive statistics will include the number of non-missing observations, mean, standard 
deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum values for the continuous/quantitative data 
or absolute and relative frequency counts and percentages for categorical/qualitative data. All 
statistical tests will be 2-sided at a significance level of 0.05.
An interim analysis will be conducted after 50 subjects (25 per group) for safety variables. 
Due to the exploratory nature of this phase 2 study, the multiplicity adjustments will not be 
considered; full details will be described in the statistical analysis plan. This interim evaluation 
is part of Sponsor safety due diligence.
Interim Futility Analysis: An interim futility analysis will be conducted to assess whether the 
trial will be terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility) based on all available data assessable 
for the primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints.
Determination of Sample Size
Because of the urgency and lack of previous prospective COVID-19 data, sample size 
estimation remains incompletely defined; however, the size of this pilot study is

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly 
emergent coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that was 
first recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 (WHO Interim guidance 13 March 2020). 
Genetic sequencing of the virus suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is a betacoronavirus closely linked to 
the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus (Team NCPERE 2020). While most people 
with COVID-19 develop mild or uncomplicated illness, approximately 14% develop severe 
disease requiring hospitalization and oxygen support and 5% require admission to an intensive 
care unit (Team NCPERE 2020). In severe cases, COVID-19 can be complicated by acute 
respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS), sepsis and septic shock, multiorgan failure, including 
acute kidney injury and cardiac injury (Yang 2020). Older age and co-morbid disease have been 
reported as risk factors for death, and recent multivariable analysis confirmed older age, higher 
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and d-dimer > 1 μg/L on admission were 
associated with higher mortality. This study also observed median duration of viral RNA 
detection was 20.0 days (interquartile range [IQR] 17.0–24.0) in survivors, but SARS-CoV-2 
virus was detectable until death in non-survivors. The longest observed duration of viral 
shedding in survivors was 37 days (Huang 2020; Zhou 2020).
Currently there are no approved treatments for COVID-19 and no approved prophylactic, post-
exposure, or therapeutic treatment modalities exist for SARS-CoV-2. This study will enroll 
subjects who have COVID-19 requiring hospital admission in order to evaluate treatment with 
Prolastin®-C Liquid, as it is considered that it may provide therapeutic benefit via its modulating 
and potentially anti-inflammatory properties in this critical situation.
Prolastin-C Liquid is a formulation of alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI), also known as 
alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), which has a number of anti-inflammatory properties that have been 
demonstrated in vitro and in vivo animal models. AAT is a member of the Serpin (serine 
protease inhibitors) family of protease inhibitors and is one of many plasma proteins that 
comprise the ‘‘acute phase proteins’’ although AAT also demonstrates unique anti-inflammatory 
properties (Bergin 2012). The primary role of AAT is to function as a serine protease inhibitor,
and it has been shown to inhibit a range of proteases derived from:

In addition to in vitro results, in vivo models of anti-inflammatory properties and reported 
modulating effects of AAT are shown in Figure 2-2. In murine models, exogenous human AAT 
protected islet cell allografts from rejection and increased survival in an allogeneic marrow 
transplantation model (Janciauskiene 2013). In other models AAT therapy protected against 
tumor necrosis α (TNF-α) / endotoxin induced lethality, cigarette smoke induced emphysema 
and inflammation and appeared to suppress bacterial proliferation during infections (Lewis 
2012). Furthermore, human AAT given to mice during renal ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury 
lessened tissue injury and attenuated organ dysfunction (Daemen 2000).

Figure 2-2
Selected anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activities of AAT. 
In terms of inflammatory cytokines, the influence of AAT is multifaceted. AAT changes the 
cytokine milieu in the tissue microenvironment influencing both innate and adaptive immune 
responses; it downregulates proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, tumor 
necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], B-cell-activating factor [BAFF] and IL-32) while promoting anti-
inflammatory mediators [IL-10, IL-1RA and transforming growth factor-β. These effects are 
displayed in Figure 2-3 (Baraldo 2016).

Relevant Findings from Nonclinical and Clinical Trials
Single and repeat dose toxicology studies of IV-administered Prolastin have demonstrated a wide 
margin of safety for alpha1-PI in mice, rats, and rabbits. Toxicology studies of IV Prolastin did 
not reveal any toxicologically relevant findings. Single-dose IV toxicology (lethal dose, 50% 
[LD50]) studies in mice, rats and rabbits failed to demonstrate alpha1-PI toxicity from 
administered alpha1-PI at doses ranging from 517.5 to 3900 mg/kg. IV administration of 5 daily 
doses of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) to rabbits at a dose up to 600 mg/kg per day (10-fold higher 
dose than a human dose of 60 mg/kg administered weekly), did not result in any signs of 
toxicity. Further, there were no differences in safety and tolerability of Prolastin-C and Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) in nonclinical testing.
The augmentation therapeutic dose of 60 mg/kg body weight for patients with inherited AAT 
deficiency (AATD) and emphysema is well established. Prolastin was licensed for use as 
augmentation therapy for AATD, at a dose of 60 mg/kg weekly, in the United States (US) in 
1987 and in Germany in 1988. Prolastin has been administered intravenously for over 30 years 
and has a well-defined safety profile. It is authorized in 14 European Union countries as well as 
in Switzerland.
Grifols Prolastin-C which has a modified process with a higher concentration of AAT (50 
mg/mL when lyophilized product reconstituted) has been approved for marketing since 2009 for 
weekly IV administration, at a dose of 60 mg/kg, for the treatment of patients with severe alpha1-
antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and clinically evident emphysema. Grifols Liquid alpha1-
proteinase inhibitor (Prolastin-C Liquid) manufacturing process is the same as that for Prolastin-
C until the final formulation step where alanine is added as a stabilizer versus sodium chloride 
for the formulation of the lyophilized Prolastin-C product.
Prolastin-C Liquid has been approved for marketing since September 2017 for weekly IV 
administration, at a dose of 60 mg/kg, for chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy in 
adults with clinical evidence of emphysema due to severe hereditary AATD; it is approved in the 
United States and Canada. Prolastin-C Liquid is a sterile, stable, liquid preparation of purified 
human alpha1-PI prepared from pooled human plasma by modification and refinements of the 
cold ethanol fractionation method of Cohn using purification by polyethylene glycol 
precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography, and cation-exchange chromatography.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, crossover study (GTI1402) was conducted in which 
Prolastin-C was used as a comparator to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK)of a Liquid 
formulation of alpha1-PI, Liquid Alpha-1 PI (Prolastin-C Liquid). The safety profile of Prolastin-
C Liquid (n=32 subjects with AATD) administered weekly at 60 mg/kg for 8 weeks either before 
or after 8 weeks of infusions with Prolastin-C was consistent with that found in previous studies. 
The primary bioequivalence analysis indicated that steady-state serum exposure to alpha1-PI was 
bioequivalent between Liquid Prolastin-C 60 mg/kg/week and Prolastin-C 60 mg/kg/week as 
determined by AUC0-7days (antigenic content) values among 31 subjects in the PK population. 
The safety profile of both formulations of Prolastin-C was good and was well tolerated among 
subjects.

Grifols has conducted a number of clinical studies at higher dose levels of alpha1-PI than 60 
mg/kg body weight per week. While these studies were performed with Grifols Prolastin-C®, the 
results are directly applicable to the Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) product as well. All studies have 
demonstrated a good tolerability profile at doses up to 180 mg/kg per week in clinical trials. 
These studies are summarized in Table 2-2.

The steady-state mean serum trough 
concentration of alpha1-PI following 
weekly doses of 60 mg/kg alpha1-PI was 
above the historical “protective 
threshold” of 11 µM in all subjects. In 
addition, all subjects after the 120 mg/kg 
dose had an average steady-state serum 
trough value that was greater than the 
lower limit (20 µM) of the range of 
alpha1-PI serum levels in non-AATD 
individuals. The weekly dose of 
120 mg/kg alpha1-PI provided an 
average steady state mean trough 
concentration of alpha1-PI (27.7 µM) 
that was within the reported range of 
alpha1-PI serum levels (20 to 53 µM) in

and there were no discontinuations due 
to an AE. TEAEs that were assessed as 
being drug-related after starting 
treatment with 60 mg/kg alpha1-PI were 
cognitive disorder, rosacea, and 
subcutaneous nodule; cognitive disorder 
was the only TEAE that was considered 
to be drug-related after starting treatment 
with 120 mg/kg alpha1-PI. There were 
no mean changes from baseline that 
were of clinical concern for any 
laboratory parameter after starting 
alpha1-PI treatment.

2.2.1
Dose Response for Inflammatory Biomarkers – Preclinical Data
The strongest available data pertaining to a well-defined dose response for effects of specific 
doses of AAT on inflammatory biomarkers stems from preclinical investigations with Prolastin-
C®.
Preclinical data of different internal Grifols studies support the use of high dose human alpha1-
antitrypsin (hAAT) as a therapy for inflammation related diseases. 
Pharmacokinetic studies in mice (C57BL/6 strain) treated twice a week with intraperitoneal 
hAAT were performed, following two dosing regimens:
!
hAAT increasing dose (60 mg/kg from Day 0 to Day 15, and 60 mg/kg to 180 mg/kg, 
with 15 mg/kg twice a week increment from Day 15 to Day 39) 
!
hAAT constant dose (60 mg/kg) from Day 0 to Day 39 
The obtained data demonstrated that animals treated with the increasing dose regimen of hAAT 
reached higher anti-elastase activity plasma levels than the ones treated with a hAAT constant 
dose of 60 mg/kg:
!
hAAT 180 mg/kg: anti-elastase activity at Day 39: 3.0±0.1 mg/mL
!
hAAT 60 mg/kg: anti-elastase 1.7±0.0 mg/mL 
!
Non-treated animals anti-elastase activity: 1.3±0.1 mg/mL
Using this increasing dose regimen of hAAT, a positive effect was observed in an experimental 
model of type 1 diabetes (a transgenic mice expressing IFN-β in pancreatic β-cells that present a 
marked lymphocytic infiltration) (Casellas et al., 2006). hAAT treated animals showed a reduced 
infiltration of lymphocytes in pancreatic islets resulting in an approximately half reduction of 
overall insulitis index score. 
Furthermore, in an experimental mice model of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, a 
disease characterized by cerebral inflammation and profound brain injury, hAAT (25 to 200 
mg/kg, intraperitoneal daily for 7 days) increased in a dose dependent manner the preserved area 
after the hypoxia damage.  
Specifically, a high dose of human AAT (100 mg/kg) reduced the neutrophil infiltration in 
different brain areas, p<0.001 hAAT vs. vehicle in both areas. Results for CD25 positive cells 
were the following:
!
in cortex 35±1% (vehicle) vs. 15±1% (hAAT)
!
in hippocampus 39±3% (vehicle) vs. 17±1% (hAAT) 
In relation to the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, high dose of hAAT (100 mg/kg) 
decreased TNFα, IL-1 and IL-6 in brain cortex, p<0.001 in the 3 cytokines. Specific results (% in 
respect to healthy animals were as follows:
!
TNFα: vehicle 257±17% vs. hAAT 153±10.7%
!
IL1: vehicle 223±16% vs. hAAT 147±9.9%
!
IL6: vehicle 227±13% vs. hAAT 139±11%

Finally, similar results were obtained in a mice preclinical model of spinal cord injury. Human 
AAT (25 to 200 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, daily for 14 days) decreased in a dose dependent manner 
the lesioned area in mice after weigh drop injury. Specific results were the following:
!
A high dose of hAAT (100 mg/kg) reduced TNFα and IL6 levels in this model at the end 
of treatment (Day 14), p<0.001 for both TNFα and IL-6. Results for % in respect to 
healthy animals were the following: 
o
TNFα: vehicle 257±14.6% vs. hAAT 138.9±10.1% 
o
IL6: vehicle 231±7.9% vs. hAAT 111±9.1 
!
This anti-inflammatory effect lasted 14 days after treatment end (Day 28); results (% in 
respect to healthy animals) were the following: 
o
TNFα: vehicle 276±17.1% vs. hAAT 201±7.1% (p<0.01); 
o
IL6: vehicle 201±11.3% vs. hAAT 159±8.7 % (p<0.05). 
Altogether, these pre-clinical data support a dose depending effect of human AAT with an anti-
inflammatory effect specially at high doses.
2.3
Known and Potential Risks and Benefits to Human Subjects
2.3.1
Benefits
No approved prophylactic, post-exposure, or therapeutic treatment modalities exist for SARS-
CoV-2. The subjects enrolled in this study have COVID-19 requiring hospital admission, and it 
is considered that Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) may provide therapeutic benefit via its potential 
anti-inflammatory properties in this critical situation.
One of the primary functions of alpha1-PI (AAT) in the human body is to irreversibly bind NE. 
NE is an omnivorous serine protease released by activated or disintegrating neutrophils. NE 
levels and activity are markedly increased in the airways of patients with ARDS, and previous 
studies have shown that IV administration of AAT in humans results in augmented anti-elastase 
capacity of airway epithelial lining fluid, reduced NE activity in bronchoalveloar lavage fluid 
and decreased breakdown of lung tissue (Campos 2019; Chapman 2015; McElvaney 2017; 
Wewers 1987). Although these studies were performed in subjects with congenital AAT 
deficiency. While AAT chiefly inhibits NE, it also other exerts an antiprotease effect on 
chymotrypsin, cathepsin G (CathG) and proteinase 3 (PR3) (Greene 2009). 
In addition to its antiprotease effects (Matheson 1981; Ogushi 1987; Sinden 2015), AAT is a 
potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulator (Bergin 2010; Bergin 2014; Hurley 2014; 
O'Dwyer 2015; Jonigk 2013). Of particular relevance to COVID-19, it has been shown to 
modulate suppress the production and activity of several key pro-inflammatory cytokines, 
including interleukin IL-1, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α (Bergin 2010; Bergin 2014; Pott 2009; 
McCarthy 2018), while preserving the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 
(Janciauskiene 2007). As such, it is feasible that exogenous administration of alpha1-PI (AAT) 
may alleviate the hyperinflammatory component of COVID-19 which can cause accentuating 
respiratory impairment. For this reason, the current randomized, controlled study in hospitalized

CONFIDENTIAL
COVID-19 subjects is being undertaken to evaluate whether therapeutic benefit is feasible to 
attain following IV administration of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human). 
Decreasing morbidity and mortality remain the theoretical benefit and aim of administration of 
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) in patients with COVID-19. In this study, therapeutically high doses 
of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) will be administered to those patients hospitalized with COVID-19
in an effort to reduce their symptoms and improve outcomes by leveraging the modulatory and 
anti-inflammatory effects of Prolastin described above. These doses are commensurate with prior 
clinical experience with alpha1-PI. 
2.3.2
Risks
There are no known drug interactions with IV alpha1-PI. No known drug interactions have been 
encountered in clinical studies of Prolastin.
Individuals with known selective or severe IgA deficiency who have known antibodies against 
IgA should not receive Alpha1-PI since these subjects may experience severe reactions, including 
anaphylaxis, to IgA which may be present in the preparation.
When medicines are made from human plasma, certain measures are put in place to prevent 
infections being passed on to patients. These include:
•
Careful selection of blood and plasma donors to make sure those at risk of carrying infections 
is excluded
•
The testing of each donation and pools of plasma for signs of virus/infections
•
The inclusion of steps in the manufacturing of plasma derivatives with virus 
inactivation/removal capacity
Despite these measures, when medicines prepared from human blood or plasma are 
administered, the possibility of passing on infection cannot be totally excluded. This also applies 
to any unknown or emerging viruses or other types of infections.
In clinical trials the most common adverse reactions observed at a rate of >5% in subjects 
receiving Liquid Alpha1-PI were diarrhea and fatigue, each of which occurred at a rate of 6% 
(two subjects each).
The post-marketing adverse reactions for Prolastin®-C Liquid (the formulation of Liquid Alpha1
-Proteinase Inhibitor used in this study) are as follows:
•
General/Body as a whole: fatigue, malaise, influenza-like illness, pain, asthenia
•
Immune system: hypersensitivity including anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions
•
Cardiovascular: tachycardia
•
Musculoskeletal: arthralgia, myalgia

Description of and Justification for the Route of Administration, 
Dosage, Dosage Regimen, and Treatment Periods
2.4.1
Administration of Investigational Product
Subjects randomized to the combination arm Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus standard medical 
treatment (SMT), will receive IV Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) and SMT. 
Subjects in the placebo plus SMT arm will receive all standard of care interventions required and 
Placebo.
2.4.2
Justification for Selection of Doses/Timing of Investigational Product
The route of administration and the dosage regimen of 60 mg/kg body weight once weekly IV of 
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) is recommended for chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy 
in in adults with clinical evidence of emphysema due to severe AAT deficiency (e.g., phenotypes 
PiZZ, PiZ [null], Pi [null] [null]; PiSZ) (Prolastin-C Liquid- alpha1-proteinase inhibitor [human] 
injection, solution US prescribing information, 2020).
Augmentation therapy with weekly IV infusions of 60 mg/kg AAT may be sufficient to slow 
progression of lung density decline in patients with AATD patients (Dirksen 2009); however, 
other dosing regimens have been also widely used: 120 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 180 mg/kg every 3 
weeks, 250 mg/kg once a month (Stoller 2003; Miravitlles 1999, Vidal 1995). The safety profile 
of AAT has not been modified according to the dosing regimen, and there has been no indication 
of any dose-dependent toxicity in AAT deficient subjects. AAT is a normal constituent of human 
plasma, which does not contribute significantly to plasma osmolality, and suffers no appreciable 
glomerular filtration.
Higher doses than 60 mg/kg at weekly intervals have been well tolerated with no safety issues. 
Campos and colleagues evaluated weekly doses of 120 mg/kg in patients with AATD which had 
the salutary effect of bringing AAT levels to within the normal range and improvement in 
biomarkers (Campos 2019). In the SPARK clinical study in subjects with AATD, weekly doses 
of 120 mg/kg alpha1-PI resulted in an average steady state mean trough concentration of AAT 
(27.7 µM) that was within the reported normal range of AAT serum levels (20 to 53 µM) in non-
AATD individuals. The SPARK study was conducted by Grifols to assess the safety and PK of 
weekly IV infusions of alpha1-PI at 120 mg/kg compared to the approved (product labeling) dose 
of 60 mg/kg in 30 subjects. In this study, a total of 30 subjects received weekly doses of 120 
mg/kg for 8 weeks, and the results demonstrated that alpha1-PI, was also safe and well-tolerated
at this dose (Campos 2013). Additionally, Grifols is currently investigating the efficacy of 
60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg alpha1-PI using CT densitometry as the primary efficacy endpoint in a 
randomized, placebo-controlled trial in subjects with pulmonary emphysema due to AATD; 
safety and tolerability of the 120 mg/kg/week dose has been good in this ongoing clinical trial.
Data from an additional proof-of-concept study in 75 subjects with new onset type 1 diabetes 
mellitus (T1DM) with residual β cell function evaluated the safety and potential therapeutic

effect of weekly 90 mg/kg and 180 mg/kg alpha1-PI for 13 or 26 weeks. This study (GTI1302) 
showed that both doses were well-tolerated, however it was not powered adequately to 
demonstrate efficacy of alpha1-PI at Week 52, and additional data would not change the 
outcome, so for reasons of futility the study was discontinued. However, safety of all doses 
(including weekly alph1-PI at 180 mg/kg) was shown.
Subjects randomized to combination with SMT will receive 2 doses of 120 mg/kg of Liquid
Alpha1-PI (Human) administered with the first infused on Day 1 and the second on Day 8.

Compliance Statement
This study will be conducted under the conditions described in this protocol and in compliance 
with the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals 
for Human Use (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and all applicable regulatory requirements.
2.6
Study Population
The purpose of this study is to determine if Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT can reduce the 
proportion of subjects dying or requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission on or before Day 
29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical ventilation on Day 
29 versus placebo plus SMT in hospitalized subjects with COVID-19.
Approximately 100 subjects will be randomized (1:1) with an interim analysis after 50 subjects 
(approximately 25 per group). There will be no interruption in study conduct during interim 
analysis as this simply represents sponsor safety due diligence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interim Futility Analysis: An interim futility analysis will be conducted to assess whether the 
trial will be terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility) based on all available data assessable for 
the primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints.

2.7.1
COVID-19 Therapeutic Approaches
Coronaviruses (CoVs) typically affect the respiratory tract of mammals, including humans, and 
lead to mild to severe respiratory tract infections. In the past two decades, two highly pathogenic 
human CoVs (HCoVs), including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 
and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), emerging from animal 
reservoirs, have led to global epidemics with high morbidity and mortality.
Several studies demonstrate that cells infected by SARS-CoV produce elevated levels of pro-
inflammatory cytokines (PICs) in order to combat the invading viruses. However, the 
overproduced PICs (including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1], transforming growth 
factor β 1 [TGF-β1], tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], interleukins- 1β and -6 [IL-1β, and IL-6]), 
may cause immuno-mediated damage to the lungs and other organs, resulting in acute lung injury 
(ALI) and ARDS (He 2006; DeDiego 2014).

CONFIDENTIAL
The elevated levels of PICs in blood released from the SARS-CoV-infected cells and the 
uninfected cells stimulated by viral antigens or some PIC-regulatory factors, e.g. Nuclear Factor-
kappaB (NF-κB) and p38 (a mitogen-activated protein kinase) (He 2006; DeDiego 2014), may 
damage the cells in the lungs and other organs. In addition, blood hypo-oxygenation due to ARDS 
and disseminated intravascular coagulation resulting from impairment of microvessel endothelial 
cells may further damage the structure and function of different organs in SARS patients, resulting 
in multi-organ dysfunction.
The ACE2 expressing cells are the primary targets for SARS-CoV infection in vivo humans 
initiating a massive cascade of pro-inflammatory cytokines via macrophages over-activation 
causing ARDS. High levels of PICs are expressed in the SARS-CoV-infected ACE2+ cells, but 
not in the uninfected cells (He et al., 2006). 
Therefore, application of PIC antagonists may reduce the severity and mortality of SARS and may 
potentially reduce other pathogenic human coronaviruses (He 2006; DeDiego 2014; Tse 2004). In 
the current study it is considered that the modulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) may attenuate the deleterious effects of cytokine release syndrome engendered 
in COVID-19.
Currently, there are no approved treatments for COVID-19 in Europe or the United States. The 
lack of disease-directed therapeutic options has led to urgent interventions in anticipation of
some potentially promising effects. Some antivirals are currently under evaluation. These include 
favipirivir (AVIGAN) manufactured by Fujifilm in Japan, Gilead’s remdesivir, and Kaletra®
(lopinavir/ritonavir) commercially available for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although 
Kaletra® did not show demonstrable efficacy in a recently reported study in China (Cao et al., 
2020), additional trials are underway. There are also investigations of chloroquine and 
hydroxychloroquine as treatment modalities and potential applications for post-exposure 
prophylaxis according to Clinicaltrials.gov and other clinical trial registries. These and other 
potential therapeutic agents are described on the World Health Organization (WHO) website file:
WHO Landscape Therapeutics under investigation 17 Feb 2020.pdf (accessed 19 March 2020).
To date there are no confirmed specific disease modifying agents. Therefore, the potential 
therapeutic benefit conveyed by the immunomodulatory effects of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)
warrants clinical investigation. This is particularly true given the urgency and extent of the 
COVID-19 pandemic.

In this clinical study, disease progression is defined as the worsening of a subject’s condition 
attributable to the disease for which the investigational product is being studied. It may be an 
increase in the severity of the targeted disease and/or increases in the symptoms of the targeted 
disease. Anticipated symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, hypoxia, dyspnea, 
hemoptysis, myalgia, fatigue, pharyngitis, which may develop at any time during the course of 
the disease. The development of COVID-19 symptoms during the clinical study should not be 
recorded as individual TEAEs, unless there is evidence suggesting a causal relationship between 
blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)/Placebo and the TEAE.

the Study-Independent Safety Review Committee (SISRC) to be randomized to the Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT arm, the SISRC would carefully review and evaluate the case and 
make appropriate recommendations with regard to study status.
In this study, symptomatic subjects with positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR; reverse 
transcriptase [RT]-PCR) or nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) for SARS-CoV-2 (or 
other commercial or public health assay approved by regulatory authorities) will receive placebo 
plus SMT or SMT plus Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) given as two intravenous (IV) doses of 120 
mg/kg (body weight) one week apart (on Day 1 and Day 8); if the subject is discharged from the 
hospital then the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and is at the discretion of the Principal 
Investigator and subject.
Specifically, subjects randomized to combination Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) will receive the 
first IV infusion of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) (120 mg/kg body weight) or Placebo on 
Day 1. A second Placebo/ Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) dose of 120 mg/kg body weight will be 
administered a week later on Day 8. If the subject has been discharged from the hospital at the 
time of the Day 8 blinded Placebo/Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) infusion, the 2nd infusion is not 
mandatory, and is at the discretion of the Principal Investigator and subject.
Approximately 100 subjects will be randomized (1:1) with an interim analysis after 50 subjects 
(approximately 25 per group). There will be no interruption in study conduct during interim 
analysis as this simply represents sponsor safety due diligence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interim Futility Analysis: An interim futility analysis will be conducted to assess whether the 
trial will be terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility) based on all available data assessable for 
the primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints.
All subjects will be followed daily through Day 10 (note: for Day 6 through Day 10, this 
stipulation is for as long as subjects are hospitalized). After Day 6, if subjects are discharged 
from the hospital, evaluations at Day 15 and 29 are required. Berlin criteria for ARDS (Appendix 
3) will be assessed on Day 1, 5, 15, and 29. Subjects remaining hospitalized will be followed 
daily through Day 29. Phone Checks will occur at Day 60 and Day 90 for vital status (living or 
deceased), any hospital re-admissions or serious/non-serious adverse events after the Day 29 
Final Clinic Visit. Details are provided in Appendix 1 (Schedule of Study Procedures). Clinical 
status will be evaluated for all hospitalized subjects daily with vital signs, Ordinal Scale (7
categories analogous to Cao et al. 2020), and NEWS at Screening/Baseline and during Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT or placebo plus SMT treatment and during Follow-up. The NEWS 
calculation is delineated in Appendix 2 and can be calculated using the on-line web tool at 
https://www.mdcalc.com/national-early-warning-score-news. 
For all subjects, all laboratory samples must be drawn prior to infusion of Placebo/Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human), if laboratory assessments are required for a day in which Placebo/Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) is being infused. 
Respiratory samples for quantitative measurement of SARS-CoV-2 viral load by NAT or PCR 
(real-time RT-PCR) will be obtained on Day 1, and subsequently on Day 5± 1 day, Day 15± 1 
day, and Day 29 ± 1 day (obtained via nasopharyngeal swab). The results of these samples are 
not necessary for continuing on study. Similarly, blood samples for quantitative measurement of

and on Day 5± 1 day, Day 15± 1 day, and Day 29 ± 1 day. An estimated glomerular filtration 
rate (eGFR) will also be calculated at these time points using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. 
Hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, absolute neutrophil & lymphocyte count, 
leukocyte count with differential) will be assessed Day 5± 1 day, Day 15± 1 day, and Day 29± 1 
day. All routine laboratory tests will be assessed locally at the hospital/site’s laboratory. A 
cytokine panel will be performed at the same time points. Cytokine panel includes IL-1β, IL-10, 
IL-6, IL-8, IL-2, interferon γ, and TNF-α. Note: serum samples must be stored at -70° C for later 
analysis at a reference laboratory. Levels of alpha 1-PI (AAT) activity and antigen will be 
evaluated on Day 1, on Day 8± 1 day, Day 15± 1 day, and Day 29 ± 1 day; both plasma (sodium 
citrate) and serum samples to be stored at - 70° C for measurement of both antigenic content and 
functional activity (potency) (all samples are mandatory at all time points regardless of hospital 
discharge status, except for the Day 8 AAT activity and antigen which is not required if subjects 
are discharged from the hospital and no 2nd blinded study drug infusion is administered).
This clinical trial will consist of the following phases: 

Screening/Baseline (Day 1) during which eligibility criteria are reviewed. Once all eligibility 
criteria are met and all pre-infusion assessments are completed, blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI 
(Human) or Placebo administration can begin as expeditiously as feasible. On Day 8 a 
second IV dose of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or Placebo will be administered on 
Day 8. If the subject has been discharged from the hospital at the time of the Day 8 blinded 
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or Placebo infusion, the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and is at 
the discretion of the Principal Investigator and subject.

SMT, Observations, and Follow-up (Days 2 to Day 29): SMT will be provided to all subjects 
with daily assessments while hospitalized and follow-up from Day 2 through Day 29±1 day
(inclusive). 

Phone Checks will occur at Day 60 and Day 90 for vital status (living or deceased), any 
hospital re-admissions or serious/non-serious adverse events after the Day 29 Final Clinic 
Visit.

Measures Taken to Minimize/Avoid Bias
4.3.1
Subject Numbering
Within each study site, subjects in the study will receive a consecutive subject number. 
Subject numbers are generated beginning with the study center number (3 digits, assigned by 
the sponsor) followed consecutively with a unique number for each subject (4 digits, 
including leading zeros). For example, if the investigator’s center number is 301, subject 
number will be 3010001, 3010002, 3010003, etc., in consecutive order. Subject numbers, 
once assigned, will not be reused at any center.
4.3.2
Randomization
Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive either combination treatment with Liquid Alpha1-
PI (Human) plus SMT or placebo plus SMT.
4.3.3
Blinding
The unblinded study pharmacist or designee, will be the only unblinded study person at each 
site. Preparation and pooling of study drug (Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) and placebo) will be 
the responsibility of the local unblinded pharmacist or designee. The placebo is sterile 0.9% 
sodium chloride injection, United States Pharmacopeia (0.9% NaCl, USP) or equivalent. The 
same total volume of placebo will be prepared so that there are no differences in infusion volume.
Since this is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, measures will be taken to assure that 
the placebo infusion will be indistinguishable in terms of commensurate volume from Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) infusion volume to that required for the appropriate weight-based dose of 
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) to maintain blinding. 
Additionally, the unblinded pharmacist or designee will prepare all study drug infusion bags 
to assure no obvious visual differences between Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) and placebo by 
covering the infusion bag with a non-transparent blinding bag cover.
Furthermore, results of the central laboratory analysis of AAT (activity & antigen) will not 
be shared with the Investigator, blinded study staff, clinical research organization or blinded 
Sponsor personnel involved in study conduct.

Treatments to Be Administered

During this clinical trial, subjects randomized to combination Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)
plus SMT will receive the first dose of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) given as an IV 
dose of 120 mg/kg (body weight) on Day 1. A second dose of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI 
(Human) (120 mg/kg) will be infused on Day 8 (see Section 6.1). If the subject has been 
discharged from the hospital at the time of the Day 8 blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)
infusion, the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and is at the discretion of the Principal 
Investigator and subject.

4.4.1.1
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) has a nominal concentration of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor of 50 
mg/mL. For a subject weighing 75 kg each dose of 120 mg/kg (on Day 1 and Day 8) would 
require 180 mL of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) to achieve the specified 120 mg/kg dose.
Prior to administration, visually inspect parenteral drug products for particulate matter and 
discoloration. The product may contain a few protein particles. The solution is clear, 
colorless or pale yellow or pale green. Do not use if discolored or cloudy. Before delivery to 
the subject, Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) should be brought to room temperature and 
administered at room temperature for comfort to the subject. Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) is 
for IV administration only. Pooled Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) solution should be maintained 
at room temperature for administration within 3 hours.
Filter the solution during administration using an IV administration set with a suitable 5 to 
15-micron infusion filter (not supplied). Infuse Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) separately, 
without mixing with other agents or diluting solutions. Infuse Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) IV 
at 0.08 mL/kg/min as determined by subject response and comfort. The Liquid Alpha1-PI 
(Human) infusion line can be flushed with 0.9% sodium chloride for injection. Do Not flush 
with heparin.
4.4.1.2
Placebo
Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride injection, United States Pharmacopeia (0.9% NaCl, USP) or 
equivalent will be used as placebo to maintain the blind. The infusion solution will be at a 
volume commensurate to that required for the appropriate weight-based dose of Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) and visually masked to maintain the blind. It will be prepared by the 
unblinded pharmacist or designee and the infusion bag will be covered with a non-
transparent sleeve.
In order to maintain the blind, the placebo infusion will be filtered during administration 
using an IV administration set with a suitable 5 to 15-micron infusion filter (not supplied).
Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride injection, United States Pharmacopeia (0.9% NaCl, USP) or 
equivalent will be supplied by the unblinded pharmacist using commercially available saline. 
4.4.2
Labeling of Investigational Product
Investigational product will be labeled according to the requirements of local law and 
legislation.

The investigator is responsible for maintaining accurate records of the IP for his/her site. 
Investigational product inventory/dispensing documentation verifying the receipt, dispensing, 
destruction, or return must be maintained and kept current by the investigator, or designee. 
The inventory must be made available for inspection by the monitor. Investigational product 
supplies must be accounted for by the monitor and inventory/dispensing logs must be 
verified by the monitor prior to IP return or destruction. Written documentation of any used 
and unused inventory is required. At the end of the study, a copy of the inventory/dispensing 
log(s) will be retrieved by the monitor and returned to Grifols.
4.8
Maintenance of Treatment Randomization Codes 
Randomization codes will be generated through an Interactive Response Technology 
electronic system and access to the actual randomization schedules or codes will be strictly 
controlled during the course of the study. This study is double-blind so there is blinding of 
treatment assignment.
4.9
Data to Be Recorded
All information contained in the medical history and complementary exploration reports 
including laboratory test will be considered as clinical trial source data.
Any data recorded in the Case Report Form should have written or electronic record in the 
subject’s medical records. These written or electronic records will be considered source data 
and should be dated and signed by the investigator or by the qualified delegated person 
(eg, results of vital signs testing, or the IP administration procedure).
For every subject enrolled, the investigator will write into his/her medical history that he/she 
has been enrolled in a clinical trial, specifying its title, study number, and sponsor, as well as 
the date of ICF provision.
The investigator is responsible for maintaining complete and adequate case histories in 
source records of each subject. All study-specific data necessary to be recorded in that cannot 
be found in subjects’ past medical records (such as medical history, past medications, etc.) 
should be recorded by the investigator or their designee in subjects’ medical files, dating and 
signing all new entries.
Source data must be preserved for the maximum period of time as required per local and 
international regulations and made available by the investigator in the cases described above.

The subject is not able to adhere to the main protocol requirements (major protocol 
violations). 
2.
The occurrence of an AE which in the investigator’s opinion requires the withdrawal of 
the subject from the clinical trial.

5.3.3
Subject Replacement 
Subjects who are withdrawn from the study after being randomized will not be replaced.
5.3.4
Follow-up of Subjects Withdrawn from Study
For subjects administered any amount of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or blinded 
placebo who withdraw from the clinical trial prior to Day 29, study procedures and 
assessments scheduled for the Day 15 Visit will be performed at the time of withdrawal, 
during an unscheduled visit. In addition, to assure major clinical outcomes are adequately 
captured as a measure of overall safety, these subjects will be asked to return for their 
chronological Day 29 Clinic Visit (ie, 28 days after Day 1 baseline), provided that they or 
their legally acceptable representative have not withdrawn consent. At the chronological Day 
29 Clinic Visit, all assessments will be performed except for central laboratory testing:
cytokine panel, levels of alpha 1-PI (AAT) activity and antigen, respiratory sample for 
quantitative measurement of SARS-CoV-2 viral load (obtained via nasopharyngeal swab), 
and quantitative measurement of IgM and IgG antibodies, which are not required for these 
subjects at chronological Day 29 for premature withdrawals. Note: A Day 29 Clinic Visit 
would not be necessary if the unscheduled visit is within 4 days of the subject’s 
chronological Day 29 visit because the assessments/outcome measures would be the same 
and would not need to be repeated in such a short a time interval.
5.3.5
Definition of the End of Study
Clinical trial finalization will coincide with the last study visit of the last subject enrolled in 
the clinical trial. For an individual subject, end of study for the purposes of determining 
disposition and successful study completion is the Day 29/Final Clinic Visit performed at the 
scheduled on-study timeframe.

TREATMENT OF SUBJECTS
See Section 4.4 for the treatment to be administered, including the name of the IP, the dose,
and the route/mode of administration.
6.1
Administration and Timing of Investigational Product for Each 
Subject
Subjects randomized to combination blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT will 
receive the first dose of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) given as an IV dose of 120 mg/kg (body 
weight) on Day 1. A second dose of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) (120 mg/kg) will be 
infused on Day 8. If the subject has been discharged from the hospital at the time of the Day 
8 blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) infusion, the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and is at 
the discretion of the Principal Investigator and subject.
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) has a nominal concentration of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor of 
50 mg/mL. For a subject weighing 75 kg each dose of 120 mg/kg (on Day 1 and Day 8) 
would require 180 mL of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) to achieve the specified 120 mg/kg 
dose.
Visually inspect parenteral drug products for particulate matter and discoloration prior to 
administration. The product may contain a few protein particles. The solution is clear, 
colorless or pale yellow or pale green. Do not use if discolored or cloudy. Before delivery to 
the subject, Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) should be brought to room temperature and 
administered at room temperature for comfort to the subject. Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) is 
for IV administration only. Pooled Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) solution should be maintained 
at room temperature for administration within 3 hours.
Filter the solution during administration using an IV administration set with a suitable 5 to 
15-micron infusion filter. Infuse Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) separately, without mixing with 
other agents or diluting solutions. Infuse Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) IV at 0.08 mL/kg/min as 
determined by subject response and comfort. The Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) infusion line 
can be flushed with 0.9% sodium chloride for injection. Do Not flush with heparin.
Subjects randomized to placebo plus SMT will receive sterile 0.9% sodium chloride injection 
(0.9% NaCl, USP) or equivalent to maintain the blind. The infusion solution will be at a 
volume commensurate to that required for the appropriate weight-based dose of Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) and visually masked to maintain the blind. It will be prepared by the 
unblinded pharmacist or designee and the infusion bag will be covered with a non-
transparent sleeve. In order to maintain the blind, the placebo infusion will be filtered during 
administration using an IV administration set with a suitable 5 to 15-micron infusion filter 
(not supplied).
An infusion may be stopped at the discretion of the medical personnel according to normal 
practice, for instance if there is extravasation at the IV site, and then restarted using a new IV 
site. However, if a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, such as anaphylaxis, the IV infusion 
must be stopped permanently, and no further study infusions will be given. During infusion

vital signs will be measured and the subject will be carefully observed. Specifically, vital 
signs will be measured immediately before infusion, then after the first 5 minutes of infusion 
and subsequently at 5 to 10-minute intervals during infusion until the end of infusion, and at 
a time point 2 hours after the end of infusion. Early signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity 
reactions may include pruritus; generalized urticaria; flushing; swollen lips, tongue, or uvula; 
wheezing; tightness of the chest; dyspnea; hypotension; and syncope. If hypersensitivity 
symptoms occur, the infusion must be promptly stopped, and appropriate therapy
administered. Such subjects who discontinue infusion will be monitored according to 
standard of care until hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis resolves and will not receive any further 
IP.
6.2
Prior and Concomitant Therapy
Concomitant medications must be recorded in the medical notes and in CRF, including the 
trade and generic names of the medication, the dose, the route of administration, and the 
duration of the medication (frequency). Concomitant prophylaxis for potential venous 
thrombosis or thromboembolism in hospitalized subjects with COVID-19 is supported within 
this study according to institutional standard practices.
Subjects should be managed according to standard of care for intercurrent illnesses, inclusive 
of influenza vaccine if appropriate depending on the clinical circumstance.
6.2.1
Prohibited Medications Prior to Study Participation
Administration of commercial AAT at study entry is not allowed.
6.2.2
Prohibited Concomitant Medications during the Study
Administration of a non-study commercial AAT product is not allowed during study.
6.2.3
Restricted Concomitant Medications during the Study
There are no restricted concomitant medications.
6.3
Treatment Compliance
Reasons for any deviation from the administration of less than 100% of the IP dose must be 
recorded in the subject’s medical records.
The investigator or designee is responsible for maintaining accurate records of study 
medication administered at his/her study center.

Methods and Timing for Assessing, Recording, and Analyzing 
Efficacy Parameters
7.2.1
Observations and Measurements
Before any study-specific screening/baseline procedures are performed, and after completely 
understanding the nature of the clinical trial, informed consent must be obtained. This means 
that the potential subject provides informed consent prior to initiation of any study 
procedures. The preferred process for obtaining informed consent is through the signing of a 
written ICF by the subject. If there are concerns regarding coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) 
transmission through the process of obtaining written consent, methods recently proposed by 
the FDA should be followed to reduce this risk (see Appendix 4).
Sites subject to local conditions/institutional guidelines that do not allow for a written 
informed consent process due to the risk of coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) transmission may

obtain oral consent only if the site is able to provide written documentation of the specific 
institutional/local guidelines that mandate oral consent as the only permitted consenting 
method and ensure these guidelines are available in the investigator site files. Where proven 
that oral informed consent is the only permittable process, the site must record in the 
subject’s medical history, “I have explained to the subject the characteristics and objectives 
of the study, its risks, and potential benefits. I have been able to answer the subject’s 
questions and I confirm that this subject has given oral informed consent.” Subsequently, and 
when possible, the subject's written informed consent will be obtained in those situations 
where oral consent was initially required. All informed consent procedures must be aligned 
with local laws and regulations.
The following is a description of the procedures/assessments to take place at each study visit. 
See the Schedules of Study Procedures in Appendix 1.
7.2.2
Screening/Baseline and Randomized Treatment (Day 1)

After all Screen/Baseline assessments are complete subjects may be randomized.
Subjects may receive the first infusion of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or Placebo on 
Screen/Baseline and Randomized Treatment visit (Day 1) if eligibility criteria are met, and 
all pre-infusion assessments are performed. The intent is for infusion of blinded Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) or Placebo to commence as rapidly as feasible on Day 1. If there is 
unanticipated delay due to pandemic conditions, while not ideal, proceed with the first 
blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or Placebo infusion as rapidly as possible.
During study infusion vital signs will be measured immediately before the start of infusion, 
after the first 5 minutes of infusion, and subsequently at 5-10-minute intervals during 
infusion until the end of infusion. Vital signs will also be measured 2 hours after the end of 
study infusion.
Record all infusion details and date/time in the CRF on the specific “1st IP infusion day” 
page and continue with all protocol-specified assessments. 
All Study Days are relative to Day 1 (Screen/Baseline and Randomized Treatment visit).

SMT and Daily Evaluations (Days 2 through 10 if still hospitalized) and 
Mandatory Day 5 Assessments for All Subjects
All subjects receive continued SMT. On Day 8 all subjects will receive a second double-
blind infusion of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or Placebo. Subjects randomized to 
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) will receive a second blinded dose of 120 mg/kg body weight. 
Subjects randomized to Placebo will receive a second blinded infusion of sterile 0.9%

ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY
8.1
Safety Parameters
The safety and tolerability of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) in subjects with COVID-19 will be 
evaluated in this study. Safety endpoints will include:

Cumulative incidence of treatment-emergent SAEs and potentially related SAEs through 
Day 90 phone check

Cumulative incidence of Grade 3-5 TEAEs and potentially related severe TEAEs through 
Day 29 as defined in the CTCAE, US Department of Health and Human Services, 
NIH, and NCI

Cumulative incidence of all TEAEs and potentially related TEAEs through Day 29
In this clinical study, disease progression is defined as the worsening of a subject’s condition 
attributable to the disease for which the investigational product is being studied. It may be an 
increase in the severity of the targeted disease and/or increases in the symptoms of the 
targeted disease. Anticipated symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, hypoxia, 
dyspnea, hemoptysis, myalgia, fatigue, pharyngitis which may develop at any time during the 
course of the disease. The development of COVID-19 symptoms during the clinical study 
should not be recorded as individual TEAEs, unless there is evidence suggesting a causal 
relationship between blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)/Placebo and the TEAE.

Procedures for Eliciting Reports of and for Recording and 
Reporting Adverse Event and Intercurrent Illnesses
8.3.1
Warnings/Precautions
Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. Monitor vital signs and 
observe the subject carefully throughout the infusion.
Individuals with known selective or severe IgA deficiency who have known antibodies 
against IgA should not receive Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) since these subjects may 
experience severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, to IgA which may be present in the 
preparation.
Since Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) can cause a transient increase in blood volume, particular 
caution is necessary in subjects with severe heart failure and subjects at risk of circulatory 
overload.
When medicines are made from human plasma, certain measures are put in place to prevent 
infections being passed on to subjects. These include:
•
Careful selection of blood and plasma donors to make sure those at risk of carrying 
infections is excluded
•
The testing of each donation and pools of plasma for signs of virus/infections
•
The inclusion of steps in the manufacturing of plasma derivatives with virus 
inactivation/removal capacity
However, despite these measures, when medicines prepared from human blood or plasma are 
administered, the possibility of passing on infection cannot be totally excluded. This also 
applies to any unknown or emerging viruses or other types of infections.
8.3.2
Adverse Event Monitoring
Subjects must be carefully monitored for AEs particularly in terms of their seriousness, 
severity, and causal relationship to the study drug.

Adverse Event Definitions
8.3.3.1 Adverse Events 
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation 
subject administered a medicinal product or study treatment and which does not necessarily 
have a causal relationship with this administration. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable 
and unintended sign (including any abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or 
disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered 
related to the medicinal product.
In this clinical study, disease progression is defined as the worsening of a subject’s condition 
attributable to the disease for which the investigational product is being studied. It may be an 
increase in the severity of the targeted disease and/or increases in the symptoms of the 
targeted disease. Anticipated symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, hypoxia,
dyspnea, hemoptysis, myalgia, fatigue, pharyngitis, which may develop at any time during 
the course of the disease. The development of COVID-19 symptoms during the clinical study 
should not be recorded as individual TEAEs, unless there is evidence suggesting a causal 
relationship between blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)/Placebo and the TEAE.
8.3.3.2 Suspected Adverse Drug Reactions/Adverse Reactions
All noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product or study treatment related to 
any dose should be considered suspected ADRs (i.e., potentially drug related AEs). The 
phrase “responses to a medicinal product” means that a causal relationship between a 
medicinal product or study treatment and an AE is at least a reasonable possibility.
8.3.4
Assessment of Causality of Adverse Event
The investigator is required to provide a causality assessment for each AE reported to the 
sponsor. The assessment of the causal relationship of an AE to the administration of IP must 
be a clinical decision based on all available information at the time of the completion of the 
CRF and/or SAE Report Form. The sponsor will consider the investigator’s causality 
assessment and also provide its own assessment. 
Causal relationship to the IP will be established according to medical judgment on whether 
there is a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship between the AE and the IP
administration.

Effective


CONFIDENTIAL
The investigator must determine and classify the AE causality according to the following 
categories:
Unrelated/Not related: there is not a reasonable possibility of causal relationship between 
the AE and the IP.
Possibly related: there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the IP and the 
AE.
Definitely related: there is a reason to conclude that the IP caused the AE.
Criteria to assess the causal relationship should take into account of the following conditions: 
1) a plausible temporal sequence from the IP administration to the AE onset; 2) whether the 
event follows a known response pattern to the suspected treatment; 3) whether the AE could 
be reasonably explained by the subject’s clinical state, comorbidities, or concomitant 
medications, as well as 4) the occurrence of improvement on stopping/reducing the treatment 
(positive dechallenge) and/or reappearance of the event on repeated exposure (positive 
rechallenge).
For expedited safety reporting purposes, AEs assessed as either “definitely related” or 
“possibly related” will be considered POTENTIALLY RELATED or just RELATED.
Any AE reported prior to the first administration of the IP will be considered a non-
treatment-emergent AEs and causal relationship will always be “Unrelated/Not related.”
8.3.5
Severity of Adverse Event or Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction
Adverse events and suspected ADRs (i.e., potentially drug related AEs) will be classified 
depending on their severity according to the following definitions:
Mild: an AE which is well tolerated by the subject, causing minimum degree of malaise and 
without affecting normal activities.
Moderate: an AE that interferes with the subject’s normal activities.
Severe: an AE that prevents the subject from performing their normal activities.
This category is further subdivided into Grade 3-5 AEs defined according to CTCAE criteria, 
US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH, and NCI.
Adverse events and suspected ADR severity gradation must be distinguished from AE and 
suspected ADR seriousness gradation, which is defined according to event consequence. For 
example, headache can be mild, moderate or severe but not necessarily serious in all these 
cases.
The investigator will be responsible for assessing the AE and suspected ADR intensity 
during the clinical trial, taking into account current criteria included in this section.

8.3.6
Expectedness of Adverse Event or Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction
(Reference Safety Information)
An AE or suspected ADR (i.e., potentially drug related AE) is considered “unexpected” if the 
nature, seriousness, severity or outcome of the reaction(s) is not consistent with the reference 
information, which is the Liquid Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human) (Prolastin-C Liquid)
Investigator’s Brochure. The expectedness shall be determined by the sponsor for any serious 
ADRs (potentially related SAEs) according to the reference document for expedited safety 
reporting purposes. 
8.3.7
Seriousness of Adverse Event or Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction 
An AE or suspected ADR (i.e., potentially drug related AE) is considered “serious” if, in the 
view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: 
•
Death
•
Life-threatening AE (life-threatening in the definition of “serious” refers to an event in 
which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event 
which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe)
•
In-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization*
•
A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct 
normal life functions 
•
A congenital anomaly/birth defect
•
An important medical event (important medical event in the definition of “serious” refers 
to those events which may not be immediately life-threatening, or result in death, or 
hospitalization, but from medical and scientific judgment may jeopardize the subject 
or/and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes 
listed above).
*Hospitalization is to be considered only hospital admission (including emergency room 
stay) for equal or more than 24 hours. The following hospitalizations should not be 
reported as SAEs:
- Hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization needed for procedures required by 
the clinical trial protocol or as part of a routine procedure followed by the center.
- Admissions not associated with an AE (e.g., social hospitalization for the purpose of 
respite care, survey visits, or annual physicals).
- Elective or pre-planned hospitalizations for a pre-existing condition that had not 
worsened from baseline (e.g., elective or scheduled surgery arranged prior to start of 
the study).
This definition permits either the sponsor or the investigator to decide whether an event is 
“serious”. If either the sponsor or the investigator believes that the event is serious, the event 
must be considered “serious” and evaluated by the sponsor for expedited reporting.

Adverse Event Documentation
All AEs and SAEs occurring on Day 1 through the Day 29 (±1 day)/Final Visit must be fully 
recorded in the subject’s medical record and CRF, and paper SAE report form (if serious).
At the time of the Day 60 (±2 days) and Day 90 (±2 days) Phone Checks any additional 
SAEs/non-serious AEs will also be collected and recorded.
It is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure that AEs are appropriately recorded.
AEs will be collected through directly observed events or spontaneously volunteered by the 
subject. Clearly related signs, symptoms and abnormal diagnostic procedures should 
preferably be grouped together and recorded as a single diagnosis or syndrome wherever 
possible.
The following variables must be recorded:
•
The verbatim term (a diagnosis is preferred)
•
Date/time of onset
•
Date/time of resolution
•
Severity (mild, moderate, severe [Grade 3 to Grade 5])
•
Causality (unrelated, possibly related, definitely related)*
•
Seriousness (yes, no)
•
Action taken (with regard to IP)
•
Other action (to treat the event)
•
Outcome and sequel (follow-up on AE)
*Causality assessment will be made only when the AE occurs after the subject has initiated at 
least one infusion of the IP. An AE occurring before subject’s exposure to IP will be always 
labeled as “unrelated”.
For AEs that occur during infusions, the infusion rate in effect at the time of onset of the AE, 
the time of onset of the AE and the time of AE change materially in intensity and/or resolve 
will be captured.
In addition to the investigator’s own description of the AE, each AE will be encoded 
according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).
For example, a laboratory test abnormality considered clinically significant, eg, causing the 
subject to withdraw from the study, requiring treatment or causing apparent clinical 
manifestations, or judged clinically significant in the context of the subject’s medical history 
by the investigator, should be reported as an AE. Each event must be described in detail 
along with start and stop dates, severity, relationship to IP, action taken and outcome. Each

29 (±1 day)/Final Visit and any SAE recorded at the time of the Day 60 (±2 days) or Day 90 
(±2 days) Phone Checks must be fully recorded in the subject’s medical record, CRF and 
paper SAE Report form. SAEs must be expeditiously reported whether or not considered 
attributable to the IP. 
Serious adverse events will be reported using the designated paper SAE Report Form. When 
the investigator becomes aware of an SAE, she/he must submit a completed, signed and 
dated SAE Report Form (in English) within 24 hours to the sponsor by email/fax. The date 
of this SAE discovery by the site staff should be documented in the source documents (ie, 
medical records). 
Each SAE must be followed up until resolution or stabilization. After the initial report, all 
relevant information for SAE follow-up, and for the outcome, must also be supplied to the 
sponsor in a timely manner (within 3 days from its identification or within 24 hours for 
relevant new information) by means of the SAE Report Form. In addition, the sponsor may 
request additional information and/or reports.
All SAE Report Forms must be reported to Grifols via email or fax as follows:
Grifols Global Pharmacovigilance
Email
FAX:
(International)
When required, and according to local law and regulations, SAEs must be reported to the 
IRB/EC and regulatory authorities. Copies of the investigator’s reports must be sent to the 
sponsor.
8.4
Type and Duration of the Follow-Up of Subjects after Adverse 
Events 
In so far as is possible, all individuals will be followed up until the AE or suspected ADR has 
been resolved. If an AE/suspected ADR/SAE is present when the subject has completed the 
study, the course of the event must be followed until the final outcome is known, or the event 
has been stabilized and no further change is expected, and the investigator decides that no 
further follow-up is necessary.

Reporting Pregnancy
While pregnancy itself is not a true “AE,” pregnancy occurring in a clinical study must be 
followed, to collect information regarding the experiences of gestation and pregnancy with 
blinded study drug exposure. The Investigator must report any pregnancy that occurs in a 
female study subject subsequent to informed consent through Day 29.

Study-Independent Safety Review Committee (SISRC) and 
Stopping Rules
Grifols will utilize a SISRC whose members (from Grifols) will be impartial and independent 
of the clinical trial team, and will consist of a global pharmacovigilance representative, a 
medical director, and a third individual knowledgeable in the epidemiological field or 
knowledgeable in the therapeutic area or a statistician. The SISRC will review relevant safety 
information from the study as outlined in the SISRC Charter. At a minimum, after the first 20 
subjects are enrolled and have completed treatment, the SISRC will conduct an initial safety 
review. The SISRC will perform a causality review of all TEAEs and SAEs. The SISRC will 
be notified of relevant SAEs inasmuch as feasible within 24 hours, but no later than 3 days.
Stopping rules are delineated below. Any change to the study stopping rules must be 
reviewed by the FDA. If the study is suspended it will not be re-opened without prior FDA 
approval.
Stopping criteria for temporary suspension of further study enrollment/recruitment pending 
full safety investigation by the SISRC are detailed below.
The SISRC will conduct a safety evaluation and study enrollment/recruitment will be 
temporarily suspended while the safety investigation is undertaken if any one of the 
following occur: 

1 death, i.e. at the time of each death, regardless of causality attribution by the 
Principal Investigator or whether it may be considered COVID-19 related. 
Pausing enrollment/recruitment after any death will allow the SISRC to perform a 
full investigation of every fatal event. (Note: Further infusions for subjects 
already randomized will only be stopped if there is elevated concern by the 
Principal Investigator or the SISRC that the death is drug related.) 

1 Grade 4 treatment-emergent AE occurs in any of the first 3 randomized subjects 
considered potentially related to blinded study drug

1 subject develops a Grade 3 hypersensitivity reaction or serious anaphylactic 
reaction at any time attributable to Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)

10 subjects develop treatment-emergent AEs in the same system organ class that 
are ≥Grade 2 severity (CTCAE grading criteria)

2 subjects develop treatment-emergent Grade 4 serious AEs of the same kind in 
the first 20 subjects

5 subjects develop Grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent AEs that are at least possibly 
related to blinded study drug at any time during the study


3 or more subjects per 10 subjects enrolled and dosed with Liquid Alpha1-PI 
(Human) develop definitely related treatment-emergent serious AEs of the same 
kind (same or related verbatim terms). This stopping criterion will be applied after 
at least 10 subjects are randomized and treated with Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human).

An unanticipated safety signal is detected by the SISRC that was unexpected and 
of sufficient magnitude to warrant concern
Note that all of these thresholds for SISRC review and hiatus in enrollment/recruitment 
pertain to blinded treatment assignment for study participants (except for Grade 3 
hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reaction for which unblinding would be likely for patient 
management and the threshold pertaining to 10 subjects randomized to Liquid Alpha1-PI 
(Human) which coincides with the first routine SISRC review after 20 subjects are 
randomized). During their full safety investigation, the SISRC will have access to actual 
treatment administered (Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or placebo), so that decisions regarding 
the study can be fully informed. Further details will be outlined in the SISRC charter.
The SISRC will receive SAEs within 24 hours. They will be required to meet within 72 hours 
if the above stopping criterion and/or stipulation with regard to serious anaphylactic reaction 
are fulfilled in order to conduct a thorough safety evaluation.

STATISTICS
9.1
Statistical Methods 
Descriptive statistics will include the number of non-missing observations, mean, standard 
deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum values for the continuous/quantitative data 
or absolute and relative frequency counts and percentages for categorical/qualitative data. All 
statistical tests will be 2-sided at a significance level of 0.05.
An interim analysis will be conducted after 50 subjects (approximately 25 per group) for 
safety variables through Day 29.  Due to the exploratory nature of this phase 2 study, the 
multiplicity adjustments will not be considered; full details will be described in the statistical 
analysis plan.
Interim Futility Analysis: An interim futility analysis will be conducted to assess whether the 
trial will be terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility) based on all available data assessable 
for the primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints.
There will be 3 analysis populations in this study; 2 populations for efficacy assessments and 
1 population for safety evaluation.
The intention to treat (ITT) population is defined as all subjects who are randomized. The 
ITT population will be used for all efficacy analyses.
The Per-Protocol (PP) population is defined as the subset of subjects included in the ITT 
population who do not present major protocol violations which might have an impact on the

primary efficacy endpoint, and complete at least 80% of the IP. The primary efficacy 
analyses will be carried out using the PP population if different from the ITT population.
The Safety population is defined as the subset of subjects who receive at least any amount of 
Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT or placebo plus SMT. Safety analyses will be based on 
the Safety population.
The primary efficacy analysis will be carried out on the ITT population and repeated on the 
PP population (if different from the ITT population) by Fisher’s exact test. Secondary and 
exploratory efficacy analyses will be analyzed by means of Kaplan-Meier survival estimates 
and curves and compared between treatment groups by means of the Log-rank test for time to 
event variables, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) when adjusting for covariates, or analysis 
of variance (ANOVA) when without covariates for normally-distributed variables or 
Wilcoxon rank-sum test for non-normally-distributed variables. Detailed data handling and 
evaluation procedures and details of the interim review will be described in the Statistical 
Analysis Plan (SAP).
For the primary endpoint, if the value of the subject is missing, then a conservative 
imputation rule will be used such that the subject will be treated as having met the condition 
for the primary efficacy analysis. The choice of analysis method for primary, secondary and 
exploratory efficacy endpoints will be described in detail in the SAP which will be finalized 
and signed off before data analysis is performed.
The SAP may include exploratory analyses of various aspects of SMT inclusive of different 
interventional strategies and evolving treatment modalities. Grifols will analyze the use of 
COVID-19 specific, potentially disease modifying treatments for any potential differences
between study arms. This analysis will be fully detailed in the SAP since medical 
understanding of COVID-19 interventions is rapidly evolving. For ethical reasons, there are 
no restrictions placed on what are perceived to be potentially life-saving therapies (apart 
from participation in another interventional clinical trial).
9.2
Determination of Sample Size
Because of the urgency and lack of previous prospective COVID-19 data, sample size 
estimation remains incompletely defined; however, the size of this pilot study is 
commensurate with other Phase 2 investigations ongoing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Approximately 100 subjects are allowed to be randomized as part of a humanitarian effort 
against COVID-19.
9.3
Interim Futility Analysis
An interim futility analysis will be conducted based on all available data assessable for the 
primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints to assess whether the trial will be 
terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility). The unblinded output will be reviewed by an 
independent unblinded team, and the study team will remain blinded.

Determination of futility from the interim futility analysis will be based on the conditional 
power (the power conditional on the observed data accumulated at the interim analysis) for 
the primary outcome, as well as assessment of the secondary efficacy outcomes.
The futility analysis will include for the primary efficacy endpoint variable, all patients with 
data through Day 29, and for the following secondary efficacy endpoint variables, all patients 
with data through Day 29, as specified for each endpoint:
•
Assessment of Clinical Severity: Change in NEWS from baseline (Day 1 through Day 
29)
•
Time to clinical response: NEWS ≤ 2 maintained for 24 hours, Day 1 through Day 29 
•
Time to hospital discharge: defined as duration of hospitalization from Day 1 through 
Day 29 (and duration of hospitalization)
•
If admitted to ICU post randomization: Duration of ICU stay through Day 29
•
Duration of any oxygen use Day 1 through Day 29
•
If requiring mechanical ventilation post randomization: Duration mechanical ventilation 
through Day 29
•
Absolute value and mean change from baseline in the Ordinal scale Day 1 through Day 
29 
o
The Ordinal scale is as follows: 
1) Death; 
2) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane 
oxygenation (ECMO); 
3) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 
4) Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 
5) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 
6) Not hospitalized, limitation on activities; 
7) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.
•
Proportion (percentage) of subjects in each severity category of the 7-point Ordinal scale 
at Day 15 and Day 29
•
Time to sustained normalization of temperature and proportion of subjects with 
normalization of fever at all time points, defined as temperature < 36.6°C armpit, < 
37.2°C oral, or < 37.8 °C rectal sustained for at least 24 hours
•
Number of subjects who develop Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) through

Otherwise the study will continue as originally planned unless discontinued for business or 
feasibility reasons.
The futility analysis will not inflate the type I error since the trial will not be stopped to claim 
efficacy. The primary outcome will be analyzed according to Section 9.1.  
9.4
Criteria for Termination of the Study 
The sponsor or its representative may terminate the study at any time for scientific or
corporate reasons.
If the trial is prematurely terminated or suspended for any reason, the PI should promptly 
inform the trial subjects, should assure appropriate therapy and follow-up for the subjects and 
should inform the regulatory authority(ies) and/or ethics committee(ies) when required.
9.5
Procedure for Accounting for Missing, Unused, and Spurious Data
Handling of missing, unused and spurious data will be described in the SAP. All available 
efficacy and safety data will be included in data listings.
9.6
Reporting Deviations from the Statistical Analysis Plan
The detailed statistical analysis methodologies will be documented in the SAP. If there are 
any deviations from the originally planned analyses in the SAP, they will be fully described 
and justified in the protocol amendment(s) and/or final Clinical Study Report.
10 DIRECT ACCESS TO SOURCE DATA/DOCUMENTS 
The data will be recorded and kept current in the medical notes, and in the CRF by the study 
site personnel directly responsible for the information. Grifols personnel or designee can 
review the records.
In accordance with ICH GCP guidelines, the monitor must have direct access to the 
investigator’s source documentation in order to verify the data recorded for consistency and 
to verify adherence to the protocol, and the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of data 
entered. “Source documentation” includes individual subject files, separate from the study 
forms, which should be maintained and include visit dates, laboratory results, concomitant 
treatment, vital signs, medical history, examinations, AEs, IP logs, and other notes as 
appropriate. The investigator agrees to cooperate with the monitor to ensure that any 
problems noted during the course of these monitoring visits are resolved.

11 QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
Monitoring and auditing procedures defined/agreed by the sponsor will be followed, in order 
to comply with ICH GCP guidelines. Each center will be visited by a monitor (or evaluated 
by remote monitoring) to ensure compliance with the study protocol, ICH GCP and legal 
aspects according to the clinical monitoring plan. 
Representatives of regulatory authorities or of Grifols may conduct audits or inspections of 
the investigator study site. If the investigator is notified of an audit or inspection by a 
regulatory authority, the investigator agrees to notify the Grifols Representative 
(e.g., Clinical Assessment Monitor/Medical Monitor, Program Manager, Program Leader) 
immediately. The investigator agrees to provide to representatives of a Regulatory Agency or 
Grifols access to records, facilities, and personnel for the effective conduct of an audit or 
inspection.
12 ETHICS
12.1
Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee 
Documented approval from appropriate IRBs/ECs will be obtained for all participating 
centers/countries prior to study start, according to ICH GCP guidelines, local laws, 
regulations and organizations. When necessary, an extension, amendment or renewal of the 
IRBs/ECs approval must be obtained and also forwarded to the sponsor. The IRBs/ECs must 
supply to the sponsor, upon request, a list of the IRBs/ECs members involved in the vote and 
a statement to confirm that the IRBs/ECs is organized and operates according to ICH GCP 
guidelines and applicable laws and regulations.
12.2
Ethical Conduct of the Study
The procedures set out in this protocol, pertaining to the conduct, evaluation, and 
documentation of this study, are designed to ensure that the sponsor and investigator abide by 
ICH GCP guidelines. The study will also be carried out in keeping with applicable local 
law(s) and regulation(s). This may include an audit by the sponsor representatives and/or an 
inspection by regulatory authority representatives at any time. The investigator must agree to 
the audit or inspection of study-related records by the sponsor representatives and/or 
regulatory authority representatives and must allow direct access to source documents to the 
sponsor and/or regulatory authority representatives.
Modifications to the study protocol will not be implemented by either the sponsor or the 
investigator without agreement by both parties. However, the investigator may implement a 
deviation from, or a change to, the protocol to eliminate an immediate hazard(s) to the study 
subjects without prior IRB/EC/sponsor approval/favorable opinion. As soon as possible, the 
implemented deviation or change, the reasons for it and if appropriate the proposed protocol 
amendment should be submitted to the IRB/EC/sponsor. Any deviations from the protocol 
must be fully explained and documented by the investigator.

No medical waivers for protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria will be allowed by the sponsor.
If there is a need for changes to the protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria is identified, the 
protocol will be amended to include such changes. The protocol amendment will be 
submitted to the competent regulatory authority and/or IRB/EC as applicable per regulations, 
which allows implementation of the revised inclusion/exclusion criteria in the study.
12.3
Regulatory Authority Approvals/Authorizations
Regulatory Authority approvals/authorizations/ notifications, where required, must be in 
place and fully documented prior to study start. Study information including contact 
information for investigator sites responsible for conducting the study will be posted on a 
publicly accessible clinical registry(ies) as required by local law.
12.4
Subject Information and Consent
Subject information and ICFs will be provided to investigator sites. Prior to the beginning of 
the study, the investigator must have the IRB/EC written approval/favorable opinion of the 
ICF and any other information to be provided to subjects. The written approval of the 
IRB/EC together with the approved subject information/ICF must be filed in the study files 
and a copy of the documents must also be provided to sponsor by the investigator site.
Informed consent must be obtained prior to the performance of any study specific 
procedure(s). The preferred process for obtaining informed consent is through the signing of 
a written ICF by the subject. If there are concerns regarding coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) 
transmission through the process of obtaining written consent, methods recently proposed by 
the FDA should be followed to reduce this risk (see Appendix 4).
Sites subject to local conditions/institutional guidelines that do not allow for a written 
informed consent process due to the risk of coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) transmission may 
obtain oral consent only if the site is able to provide written documentation of the specific 
institutional/local guidelines that mandate oral consent as the only permitted consenting 
method and ensure these guidelines are available in the investigator site files. Where proven 
that oral informed consent is the only permittable process, the site must record in the 
subject’s medical history, “I have explained to the subject the characteristics and objectives 
of the study, its risks, and potential benefits. I have been able to answer the subject’s 
questions and I confirm that this subject has given oral informed consent.” Subsequently, and 
when possible, the subject's written informed consent will be obtained in those situations 
where oral consent was initially required. All informed consent procedures must be aligned 
with local laws and regulations.
12.5
Confidentiality
All records identifying the subject will be kept confidential and, to the extent permitted by 
the applicable laws and/or regulations, will not be made publicly available.
Subject names or other personal data or identifiers will not be supplied to the sponsor. Only 
the subject code number will be recorded in the study records, and if the subject’s name or

on a computer will be stored in accordance with local data protection laws.  Subjects will be 
informed in writing that representatives of the sponsor, IRB/EC, or regulatory authorities 
may inspect their medical records and personal health information to verify the information 
collected, and that all personal information made available for an audit or inspection will be 
handled in strictest confidence and in accordance with local data protection laws.
If the results of the study are published, the subject’s identity will remain confidential. 
The investigator will maintain a list to enable subjects’ records to be identified.
13 DATA HANDLING AND RECORD KEEPING
13.1
Data Handling
The study data will be recorded and kept current in the study records by the site study 
personnel directly responsible for the information. Entries made in the study records must be 
verifiable against source documents. The data in the study records will be monitored (on site 
or remotely) by Grifols representatives at regular intervals. Data will be reviewed for 
completeness and compared with the source documents at site level or data will be evaluated
by remote monitoring. Remote source data verification will be allowed when appropriate and 
feasible to ensure data integrity, quality, safety of the participants and the patients’ 
confidentiality data is not compromised. Examples of acceptable source documents include 
individual subject medical records, prospective information gathered on source 
documentation worksheets, lab reports and other diagnostics pertinent to this study which are 
separate from the study records. The listing of types of source documents which will be 
defined in the source data agreement will be filed in the trial master file.
All AEs and SAEs must be recorded. All SAEs must be recorded on the SAE Report Form. 
The SAE Report Form must be kept in site records with a copy provided to the designated 
person as detailed in the study file. 
13.2
Record Retention
At study completion, all study data will be transferred to Grifols according to ICH GCP 
guidelines, local laws, regulations, and Grifols requirements. The study file and all source 
data should be retained until notification is given by the sponsor for destruction.
An investigator is required by ICH GCP guidelines to retain the study files for a minimum of 
25 years. If an investigator moves, withdraws from an investigation or retires, the 
responsibility for maintaining the records may be transferred to another person (e.g., other 
investigator). Grifols must be notified in writing of the person responsible for record 
retention and the notification will be retained in the sponsor study file and the investigator 
site file.

Grade 3-5 TEAEs will be defined according to CTCAE criteria, US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH, and NCI. In this clinical study, 
disease progression is defined as the worsening of a subject’s condition attributable to the disease for which the investigational product is being studied. 
It may be an increase in the severity of the targeted disease and/or increases in the symptoms of the targeted disease. Anticipated symptoms of COVID-
19 include fever, cough, hypoxia, dyspnea, hemoptysis, myalgia, fatigue, pharyngitis, which may develop at any time during the course of the disease. 
The development of COVID-19 symptoms during the clinical study should not be recorded as individual TEAEs, unless there is evidence suggesting a 
causal relationship between blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human)/Placebo and the TEAE.

i.
During study infusions on Day 1 and Day 8 vital signs will be measured immediately before the start of infusion, after the first 5 minutes of infusion, 
and subsequently at 5-10-minute intervals during infusion until the end of infusion. Vital signs will also be measured 2 hours after the end of study 
infusion.
j. Day 8 AAT measurement for activity and antigen is only required if subject is in hospital.
k. If the patient has been discharged from the hospital at the time of the Day 8 blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) or Placebo infusion, the 2nd infusion is 
not mandatory, and is at the discretion of the Principal Investigator and subject
l. Only applicable if subject remains hospitalized, except for Day 5 when all assessments are mandatory for all subjects.

Interpretation;
1. A low score (NEWS 1–4) should prompt assessment by a competent registered nurse who should 
decide if a change to frequency of clinical monitoring or an escalation of clinical care is required.
2. A medium score (i.e. NEWS of 5–6 or a RED score) should prompt an urgent review by a clinician 
skilled with competencies in the assessment of acute illness – usually a ward-based doctor or acute 
team nurse, who should consider whether escalation of care to a team with critical-care skills is 
required (i.e. critical care outreach team). ◦A RED score refers to an extreme variation in a single 
physiological parameter (i.e., a score of 3 on the NEWS chart in any one physiological parameter, 
colored RED to aid identification; e.g., heart rate
3. A high score (NEWS ≥7) should prompt emergency assessment by a clinical team/critical care 
outreach team with critical-care competencies and usually transfer of the patient to a higher 
dependency care area.
Evidence Appraisal
The six physiological parameters that were proposed to form the basis standardized National Early 
Warning Score were derived from this study. It retrospectively analyzed data from 35,585 medical 
admissions.

Appendix 4
Excerpt from: FDA Guidance on Conduct of Clinical Trials of 
Medical Products during COVID-19 Public Health Emergency
(FDA 2020)
Q10
How do I obtain signed informed consent from a hospitalized patient who is in 
isolation when a COVID-19 infection control policy prevents us from entering the 
patient’s room to collect a signed informed consent form?
FDA regulations generally require that the informed consent of a trial participant (in this case a 
hospitalized patient) be documented by the use of a written consent document that typically includes 
the elements of informed consent, as described in 21 CFR 50.25, and that has been approved by the 
IRB and signed and dated by the trial participant or their legally authorized representative at the time 
of consent (21 CFR 50.27(a)). When feasible, we recommend a traditional method of obtaining and
documenting informed consent using a signed paper copy of the consent form, or use of electronic 
informed consent.9,10,11 If neither of these approaches are possible, the following procedures would 
be considered to satisfy FDA’s informed consent documentation requirement.12
Method 1: 
A photograph of the signed informed consent document can be transmitted to 
the trial staff
1.
An unsigned consent form is provided to the patient by a person who has entered the room.
2.
The investigator/designee arranges a telephone call or video conference call with the patient 
(and, if desired and feasible, additional individuals requested by the patient (e.g., next of 
kin)).
3.
To ensure that patients are approached in a consistent fashion, a standard process should be 
used that will accomplish the following:
o
Identification of who is on the call.
o
Review of the informed consent document with the patient by the 
investigator/designee and response to any questions the patient may have.
o
Verbal confirmation by the patient that their questions have been answered, that they 
would like to participate in the trial, and that they have signed and dated the informed 
consent document that is in their possession.
9 See guidance for institutional review boards, investigators, and sponsors Use of Electronic Informed Consent In Clinical 
Investigations (December 2016), available at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-
documents/use-electronic-informed-consent-clinical-investigations-questions-and-answers.
10 For example, for FDA-regulated trials conducted during the COVID-19 public health emergency, FDA has made the 
COVID MyStudies App available in the Apple App and Google Play stores as a platform enabling investigators to obtain 
informed consent securely from patients when face-to-face contact is not possible or practical due to COVID-19 public 
health measures to control the virus. To facilitate free use of the app during the public health emergency, FDA intends to 
fund the technical assistance required to operate the COVID MyStudies App, which will be provided by the Harvard 
Pilgrim Healthcare Institute, as resources permit. For more information, investigators interested in using the app should 
see https://www.fda.gov/drugs/science-and-research-drugs/covid-mystudies-application-app.
11 See Q24.
12 The procedures suggested do not apply to the exception from general informed consent requirements under 21 CFR
50.23 or the exception from informed consent requirements for emergency research under 21 CFR50.24.

4.
The patient (or an individual in the room) takes a photograph of the signed 
informed consent document and sends it to the investigator/designee.
5.
A trial team member enters the photograph into the trial records along with an 
attestation that states how that photograph was obtained and that it is a photograph 
of the informed consent document signed by the patient.
Method 2: 
A witness can attest to the signature, but a photograph of the signed 
informed consent document cannot be transmitted
1. An unsigned consent form is provided to the patient by a person who has entered the
room.
2. The investigator/designee arranges a three-way telephone call or video 
conference call with the patient, a witness who is not otherwise connected with 
the clinical investigation, and, if desired and feasible, additional individuals
requested by the patient (e.g., next of kin). Alternatively, in lieu of using a 
witness, a recording of the conversation can be made.13
3. To ensure that patients are approached in a consistent fashion, a standard 
process should be used that will accomplish the following:
o
Identification of who is on the call.
o
Review of the informed consent document with the patient by 
the investigator/designee and response to any questions the 
patient may have.
o
Verbal confirmation by the patient that their questions have been 
answered, that they would like to participate in the trial, and that they have 
signed and dated the informed consent document that is in their possession.
4. When using a witness, documentation in the trial records includes: (1) a signed 
and dated attestation by the witness who participated on the call that the patient 
confirmed their agreement to participate in the trial and signed the informed 
consent document, and (2) a signed and dated attestation by the 
investigator/designee stating why the informed consent document signed by the 
patient was not retained (e.g., due to potential contamination of the document by 
infectious material).
When using a recording in lieu of a witness, documentation in the trial records 
includes: (1) the recording of the conference call, and (2) a signed and dated 
attestation by the investigator/designee who participated on the call stating why the 
informed consent document signed by the patient was not retained (e.g., due to 
potential contamination of the document by infectious material).
13 If an investigator wants to record the telephone or video conference call, the investigator/designee should 
ensure that the recording is done in a manner consistent with applicable state and local laws and that all 
parties agree to being recorded.

When either Method 1 or 2 is used to document informed consent, the resulting 
documentation should be (1) collected and archived, as either original paper copies 
or appropriately certified electronic copies (e.g., using a validated process for 
scanning paper copies),14 and (2) retained according to applicable FDA record 
retention requirements as part of the trial record.15
If the patient is unable to provide informed consent and there is a legally authorized 
representative, investigators must obtain written consent from the patient’s legally 
authorized representative in accordance with 21 CFR 50.27(a).
14 FDA guidance on good clinical practice developed with the International Council for Harmonisation of 
Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) defines a certified copy as “[a] copy 
(irrespective of the type of media used) of the original record that has been verified (i.e., by a dated 
signature or by generation through a validated process) to have the same information, including data that 
describe the context, content, and structure, as the original.” See guidance for industry E6(R2) Good 
Clinical Practice: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1) (March 2018), available at

Interim Futility 
Analysis
An interim futility analysis will be conducted 
based on all available data assessable for the 
primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy 
endpoints to assess whether the trial will be 
terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility). The 
unblinded output will be reviewed by an 
independent unblinded team, and the study team 
will remain blinded.  
Determination of futility from the interim futility 
analysis will be based on the conditional power 
(the power conditional on the observed data 
accumulated at the interim analysis) for the 
primary outcome, as well as assessment of the 
secondary efficacy outcomes.
The futility analysis will include for the primary 
efficacy endpoint variable, all patients with data 
through Day 29, and for the following secondary 
efficacy endpoint variables, all patients with data 
through Day 29, as specified for each endpoint:
Assessment of Clinical Severity: Change in 
NEWS from baseline (Day 1 through Day 29)
Time to clinical response: NEWS ≤ 2 maintained 
for 24 hours, Day 1 through Day 29 
Time to hospital discharge: defined as duration 
of hospitalization from Day 1 through Day 29 
(and duration of hospitalization)
If admitted to ICU post randomization: Duration 
of ICU stay through Day 29
Duration of any oxygen use Day 1 through Day 
29
If requiring mechanical ventilation post 
randomization: Duration mechanical ventilation 
through Day 29

36.6°C armpit, < 37.2°C oral, or < 37.8 °C rectal 
sustained for at least 24 hours
Number of subjects who develop Acute 
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) through 
Day 29  
Length of time to clinical progression through 
Day 29 (defined as the time to death, mechanical 
ventilation, or ICU admission)
If the results of the interim futility analysis are 
not promising, the trial may be terminated.  
Otherwise the study will continue as originally 
planned unless discontinued for business or 
feasibility reasons.
The futility analysis will not inflate the type I 
error since the trial will not be stopped to claim 
efficacy. The primary outcome will be analyzed 
according to Section 9.1.

Grifols will utilize 
a Study-
Independent 
Safety Review 
Committee 
(SISRC) whose 
members (from 
Grifols) will be 
impartial and 
Grifols will utilize a SISRC whose members 
(from Grifols) will be impartial and independent 
of the clinical trial team, and will consist of a 
global pharmacovigilance representative, a
medical director, and a third individual 
knowledgeable in the epidemiological field or 
knowledgeable in the therapeutic area or a 
statistician.
Allowance for 
flexibility in areas of

This statistical analysis plan (SAP) is based on the Protocol # GC2006 Version 6.0, dated 08 
December, 2021, and titled “A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, 
Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Liquid Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor 
(Human) plus Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) versus Placebo plus SMT in Hospitalized 
Subjects with COVID-19.” See the study protocol for full details. 
This document details the statistical methods planned to perform the interim safety and futility, as 
well as the final analyses of the study. 
 
2. OBJECTIVES AND ENDPOINTS 
 
2.1 
Objectives 
 
2.1.1 
Primary Efficacy Objective 
To determine if Liquid Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human) (Liquid Alpha1-PI) plus SMT can 
reduce the proportion of subjects dying or requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission on or 
before Day 29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical 
ventilation on Day 29 versus placebo plus SMT in hospitalized subjects with COVID-19. 
 
2.1.2 
Secondary Efficacy Objectives 
To compare Liquid Alpha1-PI plus SMT versus placebo plus SMT with regard to clinical efficacy 
as assessed by clinical severity, duration of hospital stay, dependency on oxygen or new need for 
ventilatory support, clinical response criteria including National Early Warning Score (NEWS)[1] 
and clinical status scale[2] through Day 29 in hospitalized subjects with COVID-19. 
2.1.3 
Exploratory Efficacy Objectives 
The exploratory objectives of the study are: 
• To evaluate the effect of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT versus placebo plus SMT 
with regard to quantitative severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV- 
2) viral load and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in hospitalized subjects with COVID-19. 
• To evaluate whether Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT versus placebo plus SMT 
reduces the frequency of hyperinflammation based on a pre-specified biochemical 
definition through Day 29. 
• To evaluate cytokine profile changes from baseline for Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus 
SMT versus placebo plus SMT through Day 29. 
• To evaluate levels of alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha 1-PI, also known as alpha 1- 
antitrypsin [AAT]) activity and antigen through Day 29 (samples to be stored for 
measurement of both antigenic content and functional activity [potency] assays)

2.2 
Endpoints 
 
2.2.1 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint 
The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects dying or requiring ICU admission on 
or before Day 29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical 
ventilation on Day 29. 
 
2.2.2 
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints 
The secondary efficacy endpoints include the following: 
• Assessment of Clinical Severity: Change in NEWS from baseline (Day 1 through Day 29). 
The NEWS has demonstrated an ability to discriminate patients at risk of poor outcomes. 
This score is based on 7 clinical parameters (respiration rate, oxygen saturation, any

• Duration of any oxygen use Day 1 through Day 29 
• If requiring mechanical ventilation post randomization: Duration mechanical ventilation 
through Day 29 
• Absolute value and mean change from baseline in the Ordinal scale Day 1 through Day 29 
The Ordinal scale is as follows: 
1) Death; 
2) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane 
oxygenation (ECMO); 
3) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 
4) Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 
5) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 
6) Not hospitalized, limitation on activities; 
7) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities. 
• Proportion (percentage) of subjects in each severity category of the 7-point Ordinal scale 
at Day 15 and Day 29 
• Time to sustained normalization of temperature and proportion of subjects with 
normalization of fever at all time points, defined as temperature <36.6 ºC armpit, <37.2 ºC 
oral, or <37.8 ºC rectal sustained for at least 24 hours 
• Number of subjects who develop Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) through

i) 
Ferritin > 500ng/mL, 
ii) 
LDH > 300 U/L, 
iii) 
D-Dimers > 1000 ng/mL (fibrinogen equivalent units [FEU]) or > 2 times upper 
normal limit, 
iv) 
C-reactive protein (CRP) > 70 mg/L 
• Change from baseline in cytokine profile (cytokine panel includes interleukin (IL)-1β, IL- 
10, IL-6, IL-8 IL-2, interferon γ, and tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α]) to Day 5± 1, Day 
15± 1, and Day 29± 1 
• Change from baseline in levels of alpha 1-PI (AAT) activity and antigen through Day 29 
(both plasma [sodium citrate] and serum samples to be stored for measurement of both 
antigenic content and functional activity [potency]) 
 
2.2.4 
Safety Endpoints 
The safety endpoints include: 
• Cumulative incidence of treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs) and potentially 
related SAEs through Day 90 phone check

3. INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
 
3.1 
Study Design 
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Liquid 
Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT versus placebo plus SMT in subjects with COVID-19 who are 
hospitalized. The first 6 subjects randomized will be staggered with an interval of no less than 1 
week between subjects. If there are no definitely related SAEs reported by the time Day 8 is 
completed by the 6th subject, competitive enrollment would ensue thereafter. If a definitely related 
SAE were to be reported among these 6 subjects, and the subject was found by the Study- 
Independent Safety Review Committee (SISRC) to be randomized to the Liquid Alpha1-PI 
(Human) plus SMT arm, the SISRC would carefully review and evaluate the case and make 
appropriate recommendations with regard to study status. 
In this study, symptomatic subjects with positive PCR (RT-PCR), NAT for SARS-CoV-2 (or other 
commercial or public health assay approved by regulatory authorities) will receive placebo plus 
SMT or SMT plus Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) given as two intravenous (IV) doses of 120 mg/kg 
(body weight) one week apart (on Day 1 and Day 8); if the subject is discharged from the hospital 
then the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and is at the discretion of the Principal Investigator (PI) and 
subject. 
Specifically, subjects randomized to combination Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) will receive the first 
IV infusion of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) (120 mg/kg body weight) or Placebo on Day 1. 
A second Placebo/ Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) dose of 120 mg/kg body weight will be 
administered a week later on Day 8. if the subject has been discharged from the hospital at the time 
of the Day 8 blinded Placebo/ Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) infusion, the 2nd infusion is not 
mandatory, and is at the discretion of the PI and subject. 
Approximately 100 subjects (who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria specified in Protocol 
Sections 5.1 & 5.2) will be randomized in a 1:1 [Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT : Placebo 
plus SMT] ratio with an interim analysis after 50 subjects (approximately 25 per group). There 
will be no interruption in study conduct during interim analysis as this simply represents sponsor 
safety due diligence during the COVID-19 pandemic. An interim futility analysis will be 
conducted to assess whether the trial will be terminated due to lack of efficacy (futility) based on 
all available data assessable for the primary endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints. 
All subjects will be followed daily through Day 10 (note: for Day 6 through Day 10, this stipulation 
is for as long as subjects are hospitalized). After Day 6, if subjects are discharged from the hospital, 
evaluations at Day 15 and 29 are required. Subjects remaining hospitalized will be followed daily 
through Day 29. Phone Checks will occur at Day 60 and Day 90 for vital status (living or 
deceased), any hospital re-admissions or serious/non-serious AEs after the Day 29 Final Clinic 
Visit. See Appendix A for the Schedule of Events. 
Clinical trial finalization will coincide with the last study visit of the last subject enrolled in the 
clinical trial. For an individual subject, end of study for the purposes of determining disposition 
and successful study completion is the Day 29/Final Clinic Visit performed at the scheduled on- 
study timeframe. 
An overview of the study design is presented below:

3.2 
Treatment 
 
3.2.1 
Randomization Scheme and Treatment Arm Assignment 
Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive either combination treatment with Liquid Alpha1-PI 
(Human) plus SMT or placebo plus SMT. 
 
3.2.2 
Blinding 
The unblinded study pharmacist or designee will be the only unblinded study person at each site. 
Preparation and pooling of study drug [Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) and placebo] will be the 
responsibility of the local unblinded pharmacist or designee. 
 
3.2.3 
Dosing Schedule 
During this clinical trial, subjects randomized to receive combination Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) 
plus SMT will receive the first dose of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) given as an IV dose of 
120 mg/kg (body weight) on Day 1. A second dose of blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) (120 
mg/kg) will be infused on Day 8. If the subject has been discharged from the hospital at the time 
of the Day 8 blinded Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) infusion, the 2nd infusion is not mandatory, and 
is at the discretion of the PI and subject. 
 
3.2.4 
Treatment Compliance 
Reasons for any deviation from the administration of less than 100% of the investigational product 
(IP) dose must be recorded in the subject’s medical records. 
The investigator or designee is responsible for maintaining accurate records of study medication 
administered at his/her study center. 
 
4. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR DATA ANALYSIS 
 
Unless otherwise specified, continuous variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 14 of 32 
 
 
(n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum). Categorical variables will be 
summarized showing the number and percentage of subjects within each category. 
Summary results will be provided for each treatment group. All tabulations will be based on 
pooled data across centers. 
All statistical tests will be two-sided and tested at the 5% level of significance. 
Analyses will be performed using SAS for Windows statistical software, version 9.4 or higher 
(SAS, Cary, NC), except where other software may be deemed more appropriate. In the event that 
other software is used to perform some analyses, the details will be provided in the Clinical Study 
Report. 
 will perform all efficacy and safety analyses described in this SAP and Grifols will review 
them. 
Subject data will be listed, sorted by treatment group and subject number. When applicable, listings 
will be additionally sorted by visit and assessment date/time. 
 
4.1 
Data Quality Assurance 
Once all the source verification is complete, all queries are resolved, and the database has been 
updated appropriately, the database will be locked and made available to 
Biostatistics for final 
analysis. 
Data may be pulled by 
 Biostatistics for interim analyses at a time when source verification 
and query resolution is ongoing. 
All SAS programs used to create analysis data sets, tables, and listings are double programmed. 
The SAS outputs will be compared and the programs will be updated until the outputs match. 
 
4.2 
Analysis Populations 
The following three analysis populations will be defined for this study: 
The intent-to-treat (ITT) population is defined as all subjects who are randomized. All efficacy 
analyses will be carried out using the ITT population based on the randomized treatment. 
The Per-Protocol (PP) population is defined as the subset of subjects included in the ITT 
population who do not present major protocol deviations which might have an impact on the 
primary efficacy endpoint, and complete at least 80% of the IP. The primary efficacy analyses will 
be carried out using the PP population if different from the ITT population. 
The Safety (SAF) population is defined as the subset of subjects who receive at least any amount 
of Liquid Alpha1-PI (Human) plus SMT or placebo plus SMT. All safety analyses will be carried 
out using the SAF population based on the treatment actually received rather than randomized 
treatment. 
The validity of a subject for inclusion in each of these populations (ITT, Safety, and PP) will be 
assessed before unblinding the database and documented in a blinded review report. 
 
4.3 
Assessment Windows 
Data will be summarized by nominal study visit recorded in the database.

4.4 
Handling of Dropouts or Missing Data 
Missing data will be treated as missing and no method for imputation is planned for study 
population or safety analyses except for the partial end dates/times for concomitant medications 
(Section 5.6) and partial onset dates/times for AEs (Section 7.2.1). When applicable, missing data 
for binary and selected continuous efficacy endpoints will be imputed using a most 
conservative/worst case approach, and the related details are described in Section 6. 
Time to event endpoints will have events coded as right censored or competing events per the 
following table: 
Table 1 Missing Data and Competing Events Coding for Time to Event Data Analyses 
 
Endpoint 
Right Censoring and Competing Events 
Time to Clinical Response 
Subjects who did not experience clinical response or died at any 
time during follow-up will be right censored as of the date of last 
non-missing assessment of NEWS on or prior to Day 29. 
Time to Hospital Discharge 
Subjects who did not discharge from the hospital at any time 
during follow-up will be right censored as of the date of last 
subject contact when the subject was known to be in the hospital. 
Subject death will be considered a competing event. Competing 
risk methods e.g., cumulative incidence function (CIF) will be 
used to account for competing events in the analysis. 
Time to Sustained 
Normalization of Temperature 
Subjects who did not meet the criteria for sustained 
normalization of temperature or died at any time during follow- 
up will be right censored as of the date of last non-missing 
assessment of temperature on or prior to Day 29. 
Time to Clinical Progression 
(death, mechanical ventilation, 
or ICU admission) 
Subjects who did not meet the criteria for clinical progression 
will be right censored as of the date of last subject contact on or 
prior to Day 29. 
 
4.5 
Multiple Comparisons 
Because of the exploratory nature of this study, there will be no adjustment for multiple 
comparisons. 
 
4.6 
Data Derivations and Transformations 
The following derivations will be used in this study: 
Study Day: 
• Date of assessment – 1st date of study drug administration + 1 for assessments done on or 
after the 1st date of study drug administration 
• Date of assessment – 1st date of study drug administration for assessments done before the 
1st date of study drug administration 
Baseline Observation: the last non-missing value prior to the 1st study drug administration. 
Duration:

Page 16 of 32 
 
 
• Duration in days = end date – start date + 1 
• Duration in minutes = end time in minutes – start time in minutes 
Origin or Start Date for Time to Event Endpoints: 
• Time to Clinical Response: date of 1st study drug administration 
• Time to Hospital Discharge: date of 1st study drug administration 
• Time to Sustained Normalization of Temperature: date of 1st study drug administration 
• Time to Clinical Progression: date of 1st study drug administration 
Event Date for Time to Clinical Response and time to sustained normalization of temperature: 
• If a subject met the criteria for clinical response or sustained normalization of temperature 
at multiple assessments, the date of the first assessment meeting the definition of clinical 
response or sustained normalization of temperature will be used as the event date for 
deriving time to clinical response or sustained normalization of temperature. 
Event Date for Time to Clinical Progression 
• The event date will be the date of death, the start date of mechanical ventilation, or the date 
of ICU admission, whichever occurs first. 
 
5. STUDY SUBJECTS 
 
5.1 
Disposition of Subjects 
A table of frequency counts and percentages of all subjects who are screened, randomized, and in 
each analysis population will be provided. Subject disposition including study completion status 
and reasons for early termination will be tabulated by treatment group and overall. A by subject 
listing will be provided. 
 
5.2 
Protocol Deviations 
Distribution of the types of protocol deviations and the number of subjects that deviate from the 
protocol will be tabulated for the treatment groups in the ITT population. Protocol deviations will 
also be tabulated by severity (e.g., minor or major). A listing of all protocol deviations will be 
provided. 
 
5.3 
Demographic Characteristics 
Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the demographic characteristics (age, gender, race, 
ethnicity, height, weight, and Body Mass Index [BMI]) for the ITT population. A by subject listing 
will be provided. 
 
5.4 
Baseline Characteristics 
Baseline characteristics of ITT subjects including historical SARS-CoV-2 results and pregnancy 
test will be listed and tabulated if appropriate. 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 17 of 32 
 
 
5.5 
Medical History 
All medical conditions will be classified by system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) 
using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). The number and percent of 
subjects with each medical condition will be presented for each SOC and PT for the ITT 
population. 
 
5.6 
Concomitant Medications 
All concomitant medications collected will be coded using the World Health Organization (WHO) 
Drug Dictionary. The number and percent of ITT subjects using concomitant medications will be 
tabulated by Anatomical, Therapeutic, and Chemical (ATC) level 2 and by ATC level 4. If the 
ATC level 2 or 4 term is missing, the higher ATC level term will be used in the medication 
summary table and data listing. 
Prior medications will be summarized separately from concomitant medications, for the overall 
ITT population. 
Prior medications are defined as medications that ended prior to the date of 1st study drug 
administration. Concomitant medications are defined as medications that started at any time but 
ended on or after the date of 1st study drug administration, including those that are ongoing at study 
completion. In the case of a missing or partial end date/time, in order to determine whether a 
medication is prior or concomitant, the following conservative imputation rule will be used: the 
unknown portions of a medication end date/time will be imputed to the latest possible. The imputed 
medication end date/time will then be compared with the date of 1st study drug administration to 
determine if the medication is prior or concomitant. 
Note the imputed end date/time will only be used to determine whether a medication is prior or 
concomitant. The actual date/time reported on the electronic case report forms (eCRFs) will be 
presented in the listings. 
All concomitant medications collected will be reviewed in a data review meeting conducted prior 
to database lock. ATC or Preferred terms for COVID-19 specific, potentially disease modifying 
medications will be identified by the study team. Subsequently, a tabular summary by treatment 
group of these COVID-19 specific concomitant mediations based on the identified ATC or 
preferred terms will be generated. If clinically important imbalance was observed in the use of 
these medications between the 2 treatment groups, additional supplemental efficacy analyses may 
be performed in a post-hoc manner to adjust for the difference(s) in such medication use. 
 
6. EFFICACY ANALYSES 
 
All efficacy analyses will be carried out using the ITT population. Data on all efficacy endpoints 
will be listed and tabulated if appropriate. 
 
6.1 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint and Analysis 
The primary efficacy analysis will be carried out on the ITT population. If there is difference 
between the PP population and ITT population, the analysis will be repeated using the PP 
population. 
The primary efficacy variable is the proportion of subjects who die or require ICU admission on 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 18 of 32 
 
 
or before Day 29, or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical 
ventilation on Day 29. The primary efficacy endpoint will be derived based on the subject status 
(Alive/Death), ICU admission, mechanical ventilation and oxygen administration recorded in the 
database. Subjects who met any of the criteria listed below will be treated as meeting the primary 
efficacy endpoint: 
1) Death is recorded on the eCRF All Visits page “General Duration of Hospitalization, & 
Overall Requirement for Mechanical Ventilation, ICU Admission and/or Oxygen 
Supplementation”; 
2) ICU admission date is recorded on the eCRF All Visits page “General Duration of 
Hospitalization, & Overall Requirement for Mechanical Ventilation, ICU Admission 
and/or Oxygen Supplementation”; 
3) On the eCRF Day 29 page “Mechanical Ventilation and Oxygen Administration”: 
a. subject on mechanical ventilation is recorded in the mechanical ventilation record 
for that day, i.e., “Is the subject on a ventilator?” is recorded as “Yes”; 
Or 
b. the modality of oxygen administration is recorded as “High flow oxygen devices” 
If for a subject any of the 4 criteria above could not be assessed due to missing data, then the 
subject will be treated as meeting the endpoint in the primary efficacy analysis. 
The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the proportions of subjects who met the primary 
endpoint between randomized groups; H0: πt - πc = 0. The alternative hypothesis is that the 
proportions of subjects who met the primary endpoint are different between the treatment groups; 
H1: πt - πc ≠ 0. 
The proportion of subjects who met the criteria for the primary endpoint within each treatment 
group will be presented along with a two-sided exact (Clopper-Pearson) 95% confidence interval 
(CI). 
The observed difference in the proportion of subjects meeting the criteria between treatment 
groups along with the exact unconditional 95% CI for risk difference will be calculated. The null 
hypothesis will be tested using Chi-square statistic and the p-value will be reported. 
Subgroup analyses of the primary efficacy endpoint by baseline characteristics such as age group 
(with age cutoffs defined either by absolute values or by a summary metric [e.g., median] of the 
observed baseline values) and gender will be performed using the analysis method described 
above, if appropriate. 
If for one or more subjects the actual treatment received is different from the randomized treatment 
and if deemed necessary, sensitivity analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed 
by repeating the primary efficacy analysis as described above in this section, but with subjects 
grouped according to the actual treatment received instead of the randomized treatment. 
6.2 
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints and Analyses 
Assessment of clinical severity 
The NEWS will be calculated based on 7 clinical parameters and recorded on the eCRF. The 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 19 of 32 
 
 
absolute value and change from baseline in the total score from Day 1 through Day 29 will be 
summarized by treatment group and visit using descriptive statistics. 
Change in NEWS total score through Day 29 will be evaluated by fitting a linear mixed-effects 
model for repeated measures (MMRM). The model will include change from baseline in NEWS 
total score as the repeated dependent variable; treatment (as a class variable), visit (as a class 
variable), and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects; baseline NEWS total score, age and 
gender as covariates; and measures within subject at each visit as a repeated measure. An 
unstructured covariance matrix will be used to model the within-subject error. If the fit of the 
unstructured covariance structure fails to converge, a compound symmetry covariance structure 
will be used. Parameters will be estimated using restricted maximum likelihood with the Kenward- 
Roger method for calculating the denominator degrees of freedom. Data collected starting at the 
Day 2 visit and up to the Day 29 visit will be included in this analysis. Missing data will not be 
imputed. From this model, the least-squares (LS) means and 95% CIs for each treatment group, 
the treatment difference in the LS means, the 95% CI for the difference, and the associated p-value 
will be reported on Days 15 and 29, as well as for the average across all post-baseline visits. 
 
Time to clinical response 
Clinical response is defined as the NEWS score <=2 maintained for 24 hours from Day 1 through 
Day 29. The time to the first occurrence of clinical response will be estimated using the Kaplan- 
Meier (KM) method. The KM estimates along with 95% CI, and survival curves will be provided. 
Based on the KM estimates, the probabilities of achieving first clinical response and associated 
95% CIs on Days 15 and 29 will be reported; in addition, the 25th , 50th (median), and 75th 
percentiles of the time to first clinical response with associated 95% CIs will be provided, as data 
permit. The survival rates between treatment groups will be compared using Log-rank test. The p- 
value from Log-rank test will be presented. 
 
Time to hospital discharge 
Time to hospital discharge is defined as duration of hospitalization from Day 1 through Day 29. 
The proportion of subjects who are discharged from the hospital will be estimated using the CIF. 
Deaths that occur prior to discharge from the hospital will be treated as a competing risk. The 
estimated cumulative incidence and associated two-sided 95% CI on Days 15 and 29 will be 
displayed. Test for equality of the CIF between treatment groups will be conducted using Gray’s 
test[3]. 
Duration of Hospitalization 
The duration (number of days) of hospitalization from Day 1 through Day 29 will be calculated 
based on hospital admission and discharge dates recorded on the eCRF. Number of days in the 
hospital will be compared between treatment groups using an ANOVA model, including number 
of days in the hospital as a dependent variable and treatment group as a fixed effect. From this 
model, the LS means and 95% CIs for each treatment group, the treatment difference in the LS 
means, the 95% CI for the difference, and the associated p-value will be presented. If appropriate, 
an ANCOVA model may instead be used to additionally adjust for baseline characteristics such as 
age and gender. 
Subjects who died while in the hospital will be assigned as in the hospital for the number of days 
remaining from the day of death to Day 29 for the analysis. Subjects who were in the hospital at 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 20 of 32 
 
 
study completion will be assigned a hospitalization end date equals to the date of completion for 
the purpose of deriving the duration of hospitalization. 
 
Duration of ICU stay 
The duration (number of days) of ICU stay from Day 1 through Day 29 will be calculated based 
on ICU admission and discharge dates recorded on the eCRF. Number of days in the ICU will be 
compared between treatment groups using an ANOVA model, including number of days in the 
ICU as a dependent variable and treatment group as a fixed effect. From this model, the LS means 
and 95% CIs for each treatment group, the treatment difference in the LS means, the 95% CI for 
the difference, and the associated p-value will be presented. If appropriate, an ANCOVA model 
may instead be used to additionally adjust for baseline characteristics such as age and gender. 
In the event the data is highly skewed, e.g. very few subjects with ICU admissions, a sensitivity 
analysis using a non-parametric Wilcoxon Rank Sum test will be performed. The p-value from 
Wilcoxon Rank Sum test, as wells as the Hodges-Lehmann estimate of the treatment difference 
and the corresponding 95% CI will be provided. 
Subjects who died while in ICU will be assigned as in the ICU for the number of days remaining 
from the day of death to Day 29 for the analysis. Subjects who were at ICU at study completion 
will be assigned an ICU end date equals to the date of completion for the purpose of deriving 
number of ICU days. Subjects who are alive and never admitted into the ICU through Day 29 will 
be included in the analysis with a value of zero ICU days. 
 
Duration of any oxygen use 
The duration (number of Days) of any oxygen use from Day 1 through Day 29 will be calculated 
based on the start/stop date of using oxygen supplementation recorded on the eCRF All Visits page 
“General Duration of Hospitalization, & Overall Requirement for Mechanical Ventilation, ICU 
Admission and/or Oxygen Supplementation”. Number of days on oxygen will be compared 
between treatment groups using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model, including number of 
days on oxygen as a dependent variable and treatment group as a fixed effect. From this model, 
the LS means and 95% CIs for each treatment group, the treatment difference in the LS means, the 
95% CI for the difference, and the associated p-value will be presented. If appropriate, an analysis 
of covariance (ANCOVA) model may instead be used to additionally adjust for baseline 
characteristics such as age and gender. 
Subjects who died during the hospitalization without a stop date of using oxygen supplementation 
recorded on the eCRF will be assigned as being on oxygen for the number of days remaining to 
Day 29 for the analysis. Subjects who had oxygen use ongoing at study completion will be assigned 
an oxygen use end date equals to the date of completion for the purpose of deriving duration of 
oxygen use. Subjects who never received supplemental oxygen through Day 29 will be included 
in the analysis with a value of zero days of oxygen use. 
A listing of all supplemental oxygen and saturation (SpO2 and SaO2) data collected throughout the 
study will be provided. 
 
Duration of mechanical ventilation 
The duration (number of days) on mechanical ventilation from Day 1 through Day 29 will be 
calculated based on the start/stop dates of mechanical ventilation recorded on the eCRF All Visits 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 21 of 32 
 
 
page “General Duration of Hospitalization, & Overall Requirement for Mechanical Ventilation, 
ICU Admission and/or Oxygen Supplementation”. Number of days on mechanical ventilation will 
be compared between treatment groups using an ANOVA model, including number of days on 
mechanical ventilation as a dependent variable and treatment group as a fixed effect. From this 
model, the LS means and 95% CIs for each treatment group, the treatment difference in the LS 
means, the 95% CI for the difference, and the associated p-value will be presented. If appropriate, 
an ANCOVA model may instead be used to additionally adjust for baseline characteristics such as 
age and gender. 
In the event the data is highly skewed, e.g. very few subjects on mechanical ventilation, a 
sensitivity analysis using a non-parametric Wilcoxon Rank Sum test will be performed. The p- 
value from Wilcoxon Rank Sum test, as wells as the Hodges-Lehmann estimate of the treatment 
difference and the corresponding 95% CI will be provided. 
Subjects who died during the hospitalization without a stop date of mechanical ventilation recorded 
on the eCRF will be assigned as being on mechanical ventilation for the number of days remaining 
to Day 29 for the analysis. Subjects who had mechanical ventilation ongoing at study completion 
will be assigned a mechanical ventilation end date equals to the date of completion for the purpose 
of deriving duration of mechanical ventilation. Subjects who are never placed on mechanical 
ventilation through Day 29 will be included in the analysis with a value of zero days on mechanical 
ventilation. 
A listing of all mechanical ventilation and oxygen administration data collected throughout the 
study will be provided. 
 
Ordinal scales 
a) The absolute value and change from baseline in the Ordinal scale from Day 1 through Day 
29 will be summarized by treatment group and visit using descriptive statistics. 
Mean change in Ordinal scales through Day 29 will be evaluated by fitting a linear MMRM 
similar to the one described above for “assessment of clinical severity.” 
b) The proportion of subjects in each severity category of the 7-point Ordinal scale at Day 15 
and Day 29 will be tabulated. The difference in severity category distribution between 
treatment groups at Day 15 and Day 29 will be examined using proportional-odds 
cumulative logit model. The cumulative logits model will compare lower ordinal scales to 
higher ones, or equivalently, less favorable outcomes to more favorable ones. The model 
may be adjusted for baseline characteristics such as age and gender if appropriate. The 
estimated odds ratio and 95% CI will be presented. Graphical illustrations of the fitted 
model will also be presented for Day 15 and Day 29. 
The proportional odds assumption will be tested using a score test at the two-sided alpha 
level of 0.05. If the proportional odds assumption is not satisfied, given the anti- 
conservative nature of the score test, the proportional odds model will still be used for the 
analysis, and the results will be presented along with the score test p-value to help put these 
results in context. If the proportion odds assumption is rejected or if the proportional odds 
model fails to converge, a sensitivity or alternative analysis using a non-parametric 
Wilcoxon Rank Sum test will be performed. The p-value from Wilcoxon Rank Sum test, 
as well as the Hodges-Lehmann estimate of the treatment difference and the corresponding 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 22 of 32 
 
 
95% CI will be provided. 
 
Sustained normalization of temperature 
Sustained normalization of temperature is defined as the temperature <36.6 ºC armpit (axillary), 
<37.2 ºC oral, or <37.8 ºC rectal sustained for at least 24 hours through Day 29. 
• The time to the first occurrence of sustained normalization of temperature will be estimated 
using the KM method. The KM estimates along with 95% CI, and survival curves will be 
provided. Based on the KM estimates, the probabilities of achieving first sustained 
normalization of temperature and associated 95% CIs on Days 15 and 29 will be reported; 
in addition, the 25th 50th (median), and 75th percentiles of the time to first sustained 
normalization of temperature with associated 95% CIs will be provided, as data permit. 
The survival rates between treatment groups will be compared using Log-rank test. The p- 
value from Log-rank test will be presented. 
• The proportion of subjects who have experienced sustained normalization of temperature 
at any timepoint through Day 29 within each treatment group will be presented along with 
a two-sided exact (Clopper-Pearson) 95% CI. 
The observed difference in the proportion of subjects who achieved sustained 
normalization of temperature at any timepoint between treatment groups along with the 
exact unconditional 95% CI for risk difference will be calculated. The null hypothesis of 
no between-treatment difference will be tested using Chi-square statistic and the p-value 
will be reported. 
 
Number of subjects developed ARDS 
Berlin criteria for ARDS will be assessed on Day 1, 5, 15, and 29. The presence of ARDS and the 
degree of ARDS by Berlin criteria (Mild, Moderate, Severe) will be tabulated by treatment group 
at each visit. 
 
Time to clinical progression 
Clinical progression is defined as death, start of mechanical ventilation, or ICU admission through 
Day 29, whichever occurs first. The time to clinical progression will be estimated using the KM 
method. The KM estimates along with 95% CI, and survival curves will be provided. Based on 
the KM estimates, the probabilities of experiencing clinical progression and associated 95% CIs 
on Days 15 and 29 will be reported; in addition, the 25th 50th (median), and 75th percentiles of the 
time to clinical progression with associated 95% CIs will be provided, as data permit. The survival 
rates between treatment groups will be compared using Log-rank test. The p-value from Log-rank 
test will be presented. 
 
6.3 
Exploratory Efficacy Endpoints and Analyses 
• Change from baseline in quantitative SARS-CoV-2 viral load by NAT or PCR (RT-PCR) to 
Days 5±1, 15±1, and 29±1 will be summarized for each treatment group by visit. 
• Change from baseline in quantitative anti- SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies to Days 5±1, 
15±1, and 29±1 will be summarized for each treatment group by visit. 
• The proportion of subjects with evidence of hyperinflammation on Days 1, 5, 15, and 29 will 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 23 of 32 
 
 
be tabulated by treatment group. For this analysis, the denominator for calculating the 
proportion at each visit and within each treatment group will be the number of subjects with 
nom-missing values for Lymphocyte counts AND for at least 2 of the following 4 lab 
parameters: Ferritin, LDH, D-Dimers, and C-reactive protein (i.e., the number of subjects for 
whom evidence of hyperinflammation could be assessed). 
• Change from baseline in cytokine profile (IL-1β, IL-10, IL-6, IL-8 IL-2, interferon γ, and TNF- 
α) to Days 5±1, 15±1, and 29±1 will be summarized for each treatment group by visit. 
• Change from baseline in levels of alpha 1-PI (AAT) activity and antigen to Days 8, 15, and 29 
will be summarized for each treatment group by visit. 
 
7. SAFETY ANALYSIS 
 
Safety assessments will include assessment of AEs, chemistry, hematology (complete blood count 
and differential), COVID-19 clinical features, vital signs, and hospital interventions. All safety 
summaries (or analyses if applicable) will be conducted using the SAF population. No formal 
hypothesis testing will be performed to compare differences between treatment groups. 
 
7.1 
Extent of Exposure and Compliance 
The number of doses received, duration of infusion in minutes, infusion rate, the occurrence of 
dose interruption, whether 100% of study drug infused, total volume prepared, and total volume 
infused will be summarized by treatment group. In addition, treatment compliance will be 
calculated and summarized by treatment group. The summaries will include descriptive statistics 
of the treatment compliance as well as number and percentage of subjects with compliance 
between 80% and 120%. 
Treatment compliance (%) will be calculated as follows: 
(Total volume infused over all infusions [mL] / 
Total volume prepared over all infusions [mL]) x 100. 
7.2 
Adverse Events 
All AEs and SAEs occurring on Day 1 through the Day 29 (±1 day)/Final Visit must be fully 
recorded in the subject’s medical record and eCRF, and SAE form (if serious). AEs will be 
classified by SOC and PT using the most recent version of MedDRA. 
 
7.2.1 
Treatment-emergent Adverse Events 
For summary purposes, AEs will be classified as treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) or non- 
treatment-emergent AEs (non-TEAEs) depending on the comparison of AE onset date/time with 
the date of 1st study drug administration. A TEAE will be defined as an AE which occurred on or 
after the date of 1st study drug administration. For adverse events with incomplete start dates/times, 
the same imputation algorithm for missing or partial date/time information as described in Section 
5.6 will be used for the determination of an AE being treatment emergent or not. Briefly, the 
unknown portions of an AE onset date/time will be imputed to the latest possible before being 
compared to the date of 1st study drug administration. 
Non-TEAEs will be summarized separately from TEAEs by SOC and PT for each treatment group

and overall. 
 
7.2.2 
Adverse Event Severity 
Refer to the study protocol, Section 8.3.5. 
 
7.2.3 
Adverse Event Relationship to IP 
Refer to the study protocol, Section 8.3.4. 
 
7.2.4 
Serious Adverse Events 
Refer to the study protocol, Section 8.3.7. 
 
7.2.5 
Adverse Event Summaries 
All AEs (serious and non-serious) occurring after randomization and before the end of study, 
regardless of relationship to IP, will be included and classified by SOC and PT using MedDRA. 
For TEAEs, the following will be summarized and presented for the SAF population: 
i. 
An overall summary of TEAEs, which includes: 
a. the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE 
b. the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE by strongest 
relationship to IP 
c. the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE by greatest severity 
d. the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE with Grade >=3 
e. the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a treatment-emergent SAE 
f. the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE leading to death 
g. the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE leading to study 
withdrawal 
ii. 
the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE by SOC and PT. 
iii. 
the number and percentage of subjects experiencing an adverse drug reaction (ADR; i.e., 
potentially related TEAE) by SOC and PT, where an ADR is defined as any TEAE with a 
casual relationship to IP assessed as ‘Possibly Related’ or ‘Definitely Related’. 
iv. 
the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE by SOC, PT and the strongest 
relationship to IP 
v. 
the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE by SOC, PT and the greatest 
severity

the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE with Grade >=3 by SOC and 
PT 
vii.

and PT 
ix. 
the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a potentially related treatment- 
emergent SAE by SOC and PT 
x. 
the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE leading to death by SOC and 
PT 
xi. 
the number and percentage of subjects experiencing a TEAE leading to study withdrawal 
by SOC and PT 
In the overall summary of TEAEs table (i), besides tabulating the number and percentage of 
subjects, the total number of TEAE episodes will also be provided. If a subject has repeated 
episodes of a particular TEAE, all episodes will be counted in the summary table. 
In the remaining summary tables, the incidence of TEAEs will be calculated by dividing the 
number of subjects who have experienced the event by the total number of subjects. Thus, the 
incidence of TEAEs is shown in terms of the total number of subjects and not in terms of the total 
number of episodes. If a subject has repeated episodes of a particular TEAE, only the most severe 
episode, or the episode with the strongest causal relationship to IP, will be counted in the summary 
tables. 
A subject with more than one type of TEAE in a particular SOC or PT will be counted only once 
in the total of subjects experiencing TEAEs in that particular SOC or PT. 
All occurrences of all AEs and SAEs will be listed for each subject, grouped by treatment group. 
The listing will contain the following information: treatment group, verbatim term, SOC, PT, 
severity (mild [Grade 1], moderate [Grade 2], severe [Grade 3-5]), relationship to IP, date/time 
and day of onset, date/time and day of resolution, action taken with regard to IP, whether additional 
non-drug or drug treatment was given to treat the adverse event, the outcome, whether the event 
was an SAE, whether it led to study withdrawal, whether it occurred during IP infusion, and 
whether it is a TEAE. Listings will be sorted by treatment group, subject identification number, 
onset date, SOC, and PT. If the onset date is completely missing, then these events will be 
presented first. If the onset date is missing a month or a day, then these events will be presented 
before any complete dates. 
 
7.3 
Clinical Laboratory Assessments 
Clinical laboratory tests will be obtained at the time points presented in Appendix A. Continuous 
clinical laboratory values will be summarized by presenting descriptive statistics of raw data and 
change from baseline values at each time point for each treatment group, if feasible. If necessary, 
quantitative lab values reported in different units for the same lab parameter will be converted to 
the same units prior to being summarized. Qualitative results at each time point measured will be 
summarized by presenting the number and percentage of subjects for each category. Shift tables, 
based on the high/low flags, will also be summarized by treatment group at each visit for all 
laboratory tests with normal ranges, when available. 
Laboratory parameter results from unscheduled visits will be excluded from table summaries but 
will be included in data listings. When there are repeat scheduled measurements for a given visit, 
only the last measurement will be used in the table summaries. 
Listings will include flags for values outside of the reference ranges, when available, and clinical

significance if a laboratory result is deemed abnormal when applicable. 
 
7.4 
Vital Signs 
Descriptive summaries of the vital signs (both raw and change from baseline values) including 
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and body temperature will be prepared 
for each treatment group by visit. 
Qualitative results at each time point measured, including severe dehydration (no/yes), sternal 
capillary refill time >2 seconds (no/yes/unknown), and clinically significant (no/yes), will be 
summarized by presenting the number and percentage of subjects for each category. 
Vital signs will also be measured immediately before infusion, then after the first 5 minutes of 
infusion and subsequently at 5-10 minutes intervals during infusion until the end of infusion, and 
at a time point 2 hours after the end of infusion. The raw data and change from baseline values, as 
well as whether clinically significant at each time point will be summarized by treatment group. 
Unscheduled visits will be excluded from the summaries but will be included in the data listings. 
 
7.5 
Other Safety Measures 
Data for COVID-19 clinical features will be listed and tabulated. 
Data for hospital interventions will be listed and summarized by presenting frequency counts and 
percentages for each category. The duration (number of days) of inotropes/vasopressors 
administration will be calculated based on the start/stop dates recorded on the eCRF and 
summarized descriptively. Subjects who were never on inotropes/vasopressors will be included in 
the descriptive summary with a value of zero days of duration. 
 
8. INTERIM ANALYSES 
 
8.1 
Interim Safety Analysis 
An interim analysis will be conducted after 50 subjects (approximately 25 per group) for safety 
variables through Day 29. Due to the exploratory nature of this phase 2 study, the multiplicity 
adjustments will not be considered. This interim evaluation simply represents Sponsor safety due 
diligence. This interim analysis will analyze safety variables including, but not limited to, the 
following: adverse events (see Section 7.2), clinical laboratory parameters (see Section 7.3), and 
vital signs (see Section 7.4). The relevant methods described in Section 7 (Safety Analysis) of this 
SAP intended for the final analysis will also be applicable to the interim analysis. 
 
8.2 
Interim Futility Analysis 
An interim futility analysis will be conducted based on all available data assessable for the primary 
endpoint and key secondary efficacy endpoints to assess whether the trial will be terminated due 
to lack of efficacy (futility). The unblinded output will be reviewed by an independent unblinded 
team, and the study team will remain blinded. Determination of futility from the interim futility 
analysis will be based on the conditional power (the power conditional on the observed data 
accumulated at the interim analysis) for the primary outcome, as well as assessment of the 
secondary efficacy outcomes. 
The futility analysis will include for the primary efficacy endpoint variable, all patients with data 


Grifols GC2006 Statistical Analysis Plan v2.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 27 of 32 
 
 
through Day 29, and for the following secondary efficacy endpoint variables, all patients with data 
through Day 29, as specified for each endpoint: 
• Assessment of Clinical Severity: Change in NEWS from baseline (Day 1 through Day 29) 
• Time to clinical response: NEWS ≤ 2 maintained for 24 hours, Day 1 through Day 29 
• Time to hospital discharge: defined as duration of hospitalization from Day 1 through Day 29 
(and duration of hospitalization) 
• If admitted to ICU post randomization: Duration of ICU stay through Day 29 
• Duration of any oxygen use Day 1 through Day 29 
• If requiring mechanical ventilation post randomization: Duration mechanical ventilation 
through Day 29 
• Absolute value and mean change from baseline in the Ordinal scale Day 1 through Day 29 
o The Ordinal scale is as follows: 
1) Death; 
2) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane 
oxygenation (ECMO); 
3) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 
4) Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 
5) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 
6) Not hospitalized, limitation on activities; 
7) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities. 
• Proportion (percentage) of subjects in each severity category of the 7-point Ordinal scale 
at Day 15 and Day 29 
• Time to sustained normalization of temperature and proportion of subjects with 
normalization of fever at all time points, defined as temperature < 36.6 °C armpit, < 37.2 
°C oral, or < 37.8 °C rectal sustained for at least 24 hours 
• Number of subjects who develop Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) through 
Day 29 
• Length of time to clinical progression through Day 29 (defined as the time to death, 
mechanical ventilation, or ICU admission) 
If the results of the interim futility analysis are not promising, the trial may be terminated. 
Otherwise the study will continue as originally planned unless discontinued for business or 
feasibility reasons. 
The futility analysis will not inflate the type I error since the trial will not be stopped to claim 
efficacy. The primary and key secondary efficacy outcomes will be analyzed using the methods 
described above in Section 6.1 and 6.2. No subgroup or sensitivity analyses are planned for the 
futility analysis.

Suppose at the time of data-cut for the futility analysis, x0 subjects meet the primary efficacy 
endpoint among m0 subjects in the placebo group, and x1 subjects have events among m1 subjects 
in  the  active  (Alpha1-PI)  group. 
Let 
𝑝𝑝𝑔𝑔 = 𝑥𝑥𝑔𝑔⁄𝑚𝑚𝑔𝑔 
for group g = 0, 1; and 𝑝𝑝 = 
(𝑥𝑥0 + 𝑥𝑥1 )⁄(𝑚𝑚0 + 𝑚𝑚1 ). 𝑍𝑍1 = 
 
𝑝𝑝1−𝑝𝑝0 
 is the z-score corresponding to the Chi-square 
√(𝑚𝑚−1+ 𝑚𝑚−1)𝑝𝑝(1−𝑝𝑝)

statistic. 
Let the final sample size be n0 and n1 in the placebo and active (Alpha1-PI) groups respectively. 
Let Z1-α/2 be the 1- α/2 = 97.5% percentile of the normal distribution, which can be calculated as 
the PROBIT function in SAS. Let 𝑡𝑡 = (𝑛𝑛−1 + 𝑛𝑛−1)⁄(𝑚𝑚−1 + 𝑚𝑚−1). The conditional power (CP) 
0

for the primary efficacy endpoint (active compares to placebo group) will be calculated using the 
formula: 
𝑍𝑍1−𝛼𝛼/2+𝑍𝑍1⁄√𝑡𝑡 
𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 = 1 − 𝛷𝛷 ( 
 
 
) 
√1−𝑡𝑡 
where Φ is the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for N (0,1). 
 
9. SAMPLE SIZE AND POWER CALCULATIONS 
 
Because of the urgency and lack of previous prospective COVID-19 data, sample size estimation 
remains incompletely defined; however, the size of this pilot study is commensurate with other 
Phase 2 investigations ongoing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 100 subjects are 
allowed to be randomized as part of a humanitarian effort against COVID-19.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 7/8/2020 8:22:51 AM 
Parties agreed to: 
 
 
 
 
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE 
 
From time to time, 
 (we, us or Company) may be 
required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the 
terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the 
DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can 
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and 
Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to 
‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the 
DocuSign system. 
 
 
Electronic Signature Responsiblities 
 
You agree that your electronic signature is the equivalent of a hand-written signature and that 
you are responsible for actions initiated using your electronic signature. You agree to report 
unauthorized usage to 
upon discovery of such usage via email to 
. 
 
Getting paper copies 
 
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available 
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send 
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you 
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time 
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to 
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a per- 
page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure 
described below. 
 
 
Withdrawing your consent 
 
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time 
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures 
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and 
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures 
electronically is described below. 
 
 
Consequences of changing your mind 
 
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the 
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to 
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, 
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such 
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to 


 
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents 
from us. 
 
 
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically 
 
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide 
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, 
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made 
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you 
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required 
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given 
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through 
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as 
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the 
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures 
electronically from us.
