  1. For the CT densitometric analyses, the modified ITT population was used. The combined analysis was based on the modified ITT population and did not include the data for 6 subjects who participated in EXACTLE, but who had their data included in the earlier Danish-Dutch study.
  2. AAT treatment minus placebo.
  3. AAT: alpha-1 antitrypsin; CT: computed tomography; EXACTLE: Exacerbations and Computed Tomography scan as Lung Endpoints; LS: least squares.
