Introduction
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) is the major enzyme that generates extracellular pyrophosphate (PPi), an inorganic metabolite with potent anti-calcificationactivity.1-3 Loss-of- function mutations lead to a state of ENPP1 Deficiency and hypopyrophosphatemia, which is associated with extensive calcification of the arteries, organs and joints. Infants with ENPP1 Deficiency present with severe cardiovascular complications and over 50% mortality in the first 6 months of life.5-6 Most patients will develop an FGF-23 mediated hypophosphatemic rickets (Autosomal Recessive Hypophosphatemic Rickets, type 2, ARHR2) by early adolescence, characterized by growth plate abnormalities, bowed legs, short stature, and/or calcification of the joints and ligaments.4-6
INZ-701 is a recombinant human ENPP1-Fc fusion protein that is used as an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of ENPP1 deficiency.

Pharmacokinetics
- 126-hour half-life supports once-weekly dosing
- Informs and validates PK model
Pharmacodynamics
- Significant elevation of plasma pyrophosphate (PPi), maintained for over 18 months
- Changes in key biomarkers (i.e., FGF-23 and phosphate (Pi)) support clinical hypothesis
- Rapid increase in PPi at 1 week correlated with decreases in FGF-23 levels (p= 0.0371)
- Dose ranging data support adult dose of 1.8 mg/kg/week
Identify clinically meaningful outcome measures to inform design of future study in adults
- Functional improvements can be measured by 6-minute walk test and patient-reported outcomes; strongest improvements seen in patients with greatest impairment at baseline
- Identified areas of bone pathology (low BMC/BMD) may represent locations for radiographic scoring for improvements
- Subset analyses reveal patient populations most likely to benefit from INZ-701 treatment in future adult studies
