This is a multicenter, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized phase 4 study designed to identify the optimal dose of CE1226 (2 active doses) to slow disease progression as assessed by reduced rates of annual lung density decline in alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficient participants over 3 years as compared with the marketed dose 60 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg).

CE1226 will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion weekly over 3 years.
Annual rate of change in adjusted lung density
The annual rate of change (expressed as gram per liter per year \[g/L/year\]) in adjusted lung density (15th percentile lung density \[PD15\]) will be calculated on CT scan assessments of whole lung at total lung capacity (TLC).
Time frame: From Baseline to Month 36
Annual rate of change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent predicted (FEV1%)
The annual rate of change in FEV1% will be assessed by spirometry.
Time frame: From Baseline to Month 36
Annual rate of change in diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLco)
The annual rate of change in DLco will be assessed by gas transfer using site machinery.
Time frame: From Baseline to Month 36
Number of severe pulmonary exacerbations
Pulmonary excerbations will be assessed by the investigator using Rodriguez-Roisin criteria, where an exacerbation is defined as: a sustained worsening of the patient's condition, from a stable state and beyond normal day-to-day variations, necessitating a change in regular medication in a patient with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A severe exacerbation is defined as an event requiring the introduction of corticosteroids and / or antibiotics which results in hospitalization or death.
Time frame: From screening up to Month 36
Duration of severe pulmonary exacerbations
Pulmonary excerbations will be assessed by the investigator using Rodriguez-Roisin criteria, where an exacerbation is defined as: a sustained worsening of the patient's condition, from a stable state and beyond normal day-to-day variations, necessitating a change in regular medication in a patient with underlying COPD. A severe exacerbation is defined as an event requiring the introduction of corticosteroids and / or antibiotics which results in hospitalization or death.
Time frame: From screening up to Month 36
Number of participants experiencing treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Time frame: From screening up to Month 36
Percentage of participants experiencing TEAEs
Time frame: From screening up to Month 36
