| affected PK and PD. In infants with high ADA levels, data collected pre- and post-dosing demonstrated substantial transient increases in PPi and drug exposure following INZ-701 administration, consistent with the clinical effects observed. ADAs were not associated with adverse events in any patient. |
Enrollment Complete in ENERGY 3 Pivotal Trial
The Company today announced completion of enrollment in its ENERGY 3 pivotal trial of INZ-701 in patients with ENPP1 Deficiency aged >1 to <13 years. Based on recommendations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the primary endpoint of plasma PPi should be supported by consistent trends in appropriate clinical endpoints, such as radiographic global impression of change (“RGI-C”), a measure for progression or improvement of rickets. As per agreement with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), plasma PPi and RGI-C are co-primary endpoints, with a relaxed p-value of <0.2 for RGI-C.
With 25 patients enrolled, the trial’s 2:1 randomized design provides >90% power to detect meaningful differences in RGI-C between treatment and control groups. Strong patient interest and scheduled screenings may result in the enrollment of additional participants in January 2025. The Company anticipates completing the one-year dosing period for all patients by January 2026, with topline data expected in early 2026.
Regulatory Progress for Planned ASPIRE Pivotal Trial in Children with ABCC6 Deficiency
The Company is advancing the development of INZ-701 in ABCC6 Deficiency. In April 2024, the Company reported topline data from an open-label, dose-escalation study in adults, along with findings from a natural history study documenting the significant disease burden in patients with the early-onset form of the disease, known as GACI Type 2 (GACI-2). The adult study demonstrated positive improvements in vascular and retinal pathology after 48 weeks of treatment with INZ-701, as well as normalization of PPi levels at the highest dose tested, supporting further development in additional age groups. The natural history study revealed a high disease burden characterized by childhood strokes, arteriopathy, cardiovascular complications, and early mortality. Further research has identified a substantial pediatric population with ABCC6 Deficiency, underscoring the significant unmet medical need in this group.
The natural history study data, supplemented by literature reports, has informed the design of the Company’s planned randomized, controlled ASPIRE trial of INZ-701 in children with ABCC6 Deficiency. The proposed primary endpoint, comprising major adverse clinical events over a two-year treatment period, has been reviewed and received preliminary support from U.S. and EU regulators. The trial is expected to enroll approximately 70 patients from infancy up to <18 years old with biallelic or monoallelic ABCC6 Deficiency. The Company is currently refining the trial design to harmonize feedback from the FDA and EMA.
The Company plans to continue regulatory engagement over the coming months to finalize the trial protocol. Pending ongoing regulatory review and the availability of financial resources, the Company aims to initiate the ASPIRE trial in early 2026.
