E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Subject will sign and date an informed consent form (ICF). 2. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, study restrictions, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and other study procedures. 3. Subjects will be 18 through 80 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing of the ICF. 4. All female subjects must have a negative pregnancy test at screening (serum test). Premenopausal female subjects of child-bearing potential must also have a negative pregnancy test on Day 1 (urine test) and must not be nursing or planning to become pregnant during the study or within 90 days after the last study drug dose. 5. Body mass index (BMI) of 18.0 to 35.0 kg/m2, inclusive. 6. Subjects must have a PiZZ genotype confirmed at screening. NOTE: PiZZ genotype must be tested at the central laboratory. Historical genotype results can be used to determine eligibility if they were obtained as part of a different Vertex study. In addition, if the screening PiZZ genotype result is not received before randomization, a previous non-Vertex PiZZ genotype laboratory report (approved by the medical monitor or designee) may be used to establish provisional eligibility. Subjects who have been randomized and whose screening genotype subsequently does not confirm study eligibility must be discontinued from the study. 7. Plasma antigenic AAT level <8 µM during screening. For subjects who have been on augmentation therapy at any time, results used to confirm eligibility must be drawn >42 days after the last dose of augmentation therapy. Antigenic AAT levels must be obtained from the central laboratory and results confirmed before randomization. 8. Willing to remain off of augmentation therapy from >42 days before antigenic AAT levels are obtained for eligibility through the last Safety Follow-Up Visit |

pulmonale, history of pulmonary embolism, or malignant lung cancer9.Unstable COPD as deemed by the investigator10.Documented chronic need for positive airway pressure therapy beyond nocturnal use11.Documented medical history or diagnosis of clinically evident liver disease including but not limited to a prior diagnosis of hepatitis of any etiology, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, or confirmed or suspected esophageal varices12.Any of the following abnormal laboratory values at screening: -Platelet count <150 X 109/L-Albumin .3.5g/dL-International normalized ratio. 1.2-Hemoglobin <10/d -Total bilirubin>upper limit of normal(ULN)-Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase(ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), or alkaline phosphatase(ALP)>2×ULN-Estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) ≤30mL/min/1.73m2 (calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation)13.Risk factors for Torsade de Pointes(e.g.,familial long QT syndrome, chronic hypokalemia, heart failure)or concomitant medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval or any history of unstable cardiac disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, might put the subject at risk or may confound the results of the study14.Any clinically significant ECG abnormality(as determined by the investigator)or median QTcF of triplicate standard 12-lead ECGs >450msec at screening15.History of Gilbert's Syndrome16.Positive for HBsAg,HCV RNA antibody,or HIV1 and HIV2 antibodies during screening17.Use of the substances, activities, or devices during the time periods

therapy is not considered to be in their best interest, based on the clinical judgement of the treating physician |
