BioMarin Provides Update on Phase 3 Trial for BMN 401 in Children Aged 1-12 With ENPP1 Deficiency
ENERGY 3 study met 1 of 2 co-primary endpoints in children with ENPP1 deficiency
Treatment with BMN 401 led to statistically significant increases in plasma inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) concentration, one of the study's co-primary endpoints; however, no improvement was observed in Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) scores, the study's other co-primary endpoint and an important clinical measure of change in rickets severity

The study met one co-primary endpoint, showing treatment with BMN 401 resulted in statistically significant increases in plasma PPi through week 52 compared to the conventional therapy control arm in children with ENPP1 deficiency. However, the study did not meet its other co-primary endpoint as there was no corresponding improvement in Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) scores, an important measure of treatment impact in children with rickets. Additionally, no positive trends were observed across secondary endpoints, including Rickets Severity Score (RSS) and growth Z-score (height/body length and weight). BMN 401 was generally well-tolerated with no new safety signals reported.
"We are disappointed that the significant increases in plasma PPi observed with BMN 401 did not translate into meaningful clinical improvements for children with ENPP1 deficiency," said
Detailed results from the ENERGY 3 study will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.
About BMN 401 and ENERGY 3
BMN 401 (formerly INZ-701) is a potential first-in-class, subcutaneous enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of people with ENPP1 deficiency.
ENERGY 3 is a Phase 3 multicenter randomized (2:1) controlled open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BMN 401 in children ages 1-12 with ENPP1 deficiency. Change from baseline in PPi through week 52 and RGI-C global score at week 52 are co-primary endpoints in this study. Following discussions with health authorities, RGI-C was added as a co-primary endpoint to assess clinically meaningful functional improvement in children with ENPP1 deficiency.
Key secondary endpoints include change from baseline in Rickets Severity Score (RSS), change from baseline in growth Z-score (height/body length and weight), and measurements of BMN 401 serum concentration and enzyme activity. Enrollment in ENERGY 3 was completed in

About ENPP1 Deficiency
ENPP1 deficiency is a rare and lifelong genetic condition caused by changes in the ENPP1 gene, leading to progressive damage to blood vessels, soft tissues and bones. Infants with this condition are often diagnosed with generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) Type 1, and about 50% of them do not survive beyond six months. Children with ENPP1 deficiency typically develop a type of rickets called autosomal-recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2), while adolescents and adults may develop osteomalacia (softened bones), both of which may cause pain and difficulty with movement. Individuals may also experience hearing loss, calcification in arteries and joints, and heart problems.
