ATS/ERS Guidelines

Whom should you test for Alpha-1?

Testing is recommended for ⁵:

• Adults with emphysema, COPD, or asthma with airflow obstruction that is not completely reversed after aggressive treatment with bronchodilators
• Asymptomatic individuals with persistent obstruction on pulmonary function tests with identifiable risk factors (eg, cigarette smoking, occupational exposure)
• Individuals with unexplained liver disease, including newborns, children, and adults, particularly the elderly
• Adults with necrotizing panniculitis
• Siblings of an individual with Alpha-1

Important Safety Information

Alpha₁-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human), Zemaira^® is indicated for chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy for adults with alpha₁-proteinase inhibitor (A₁-PI) deficiency and emphysema. Clinical data demonstrating the long-term effects of chronic augmentation therapy with Zemaira are not available.

Zemaira may not be appropriate for the following adult individuals as they may experience severe reactions, including anaphylaxis: individuals with a known hypersensitivity and/or history of anaphylaxis or severe systemic reaction to A₁-PI products or their components, and individuals with selective IgA deficiencies who have known antibodies against IgA.

In clinical studies, the following treatment-related adverse reactions were reported in 1% of subjects: asthenia (fatigue), injection-site pain, dizziness, headache, paresthesia (tingling), and pruritus (itching).

Zemaira is derived from human plasma. The risk of transmission of infectious agents, including viruses and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent, cannot be completely eliminated.
