Brief Summary
The study will include 60 healthy subjects (ex-smoker without any airflow limitation), 125 COPD GOLD (global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease) I , 125 COPD GOLD II, 125 COPD GOLD III and up to 20 patients with COPD and A1AT (Alpha1-Antitrypsin) deficiency (ZZ genotype). Soluble and imaging biomarkers will be investigated addressing different aspects of disease pathways postulated to be relevant for COPD progression.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Absolute Change From Baseline at Week 156 in Adjusted Lung Density (ALD) Based on Percentile Density at 15% (PD15) Adjusted for Lung Volume
The absolute change from baseline at Week 156 in adjusted lung density (ALD) based on Percentile Density at 15% (PD15) adjusted for lung volume was reported. The ALD was calculated as: Percentile Density at 15% (PD15) \[gram/Liter (L)\] \* (Inspiratory volume \[L\]/predicted total lung volume \[L\]). The absolute change from baseline in ALD gram/Liter (g/L) was analyzed by Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM).
Up to Week 156. Change from baseline value at Week 156 was reported.
Annual Rate of Lung Function Decline Based on Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)
The annual rate of lung function decline based on Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) was reported. The annual rate was estimated from a random slope and intercept model with fixed categorical effects of diagnosis group, fixed continuous effects of time \[Year\], and including diagnosis group-by-time interaction. Random effect was included for subject specific intercept and time. Within-subject errors are modelled by an unstructured variance-covariance matrix.
Up to Week 156
Number of Participants by the Category of Number of Exacerbations During Study
Number of participants by the category of number of exacerbations (no exacerbation, 1 exacerbation, or \>= 2 exacerbations) during study was reported.
Up to Week 156
Duration of Exacerbations During Study (Per Year)
The duration of exacerbations for each subject was calculated as: sum of duration of episodes during study (days)\*(365.25/ number of days in study).
Up to 156 weeks
Number of Participants With at Least Moderate Exacerbation During Study by the Category of Number of Moderate Exacerbations
Number of participants with at least moderate exacerbation during study by the category of number of moderate exacerbation (no moderate exacerbation, 1 moderate exacerbation, or \>= 2 moderate exacerbations) was reported.
Up to 156 weeks
Number of Participants With Severe Exacerbations During Study by the Category of Number of Severe Exacerbations
Number of participants with severe exacerbations during study by the category of number of severe exacerbations (no severe exacerbation, 1 severe exacerbation, or \>= 2 severe exacerbations) was reported.
Up to 156 weeks

- Significant alcohol or drug abuse within past 2 years prior to Visit 1
- Women who are pregnant, nursing or plan to become pregnant while in the study
- Place of permanent residence of less than 3 months prior to Visit 1
- For the MRI subset: subject who do not meet the following criteria for the MRI assessment at Visit 2: systolic blood pressure between 90 and 180 mmHg (SBP), diastolic blood pressure between 50 and 110 mmHg (DBP), pulse rate between 40 and 110 bpm, ear temperature between 35 - 37.5 C, and a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 30 mL/min (GFR must not be older than 14 days from the MRI assessment)
- \- Respiratory tract infection or COPD exacerbation in the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the screening period prior to Visit 2, if rescheduling rules cannot be met
