the seaport 1 study: evaluation of the safety and tolerability of inz-701 in adults with end-stage kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis

Conditions: Calciphylaxis

Summary: the purpose of this study is to determine if multiple doses of inz-701, given once per week over 4 weeks are safe and increase pyrophosphate (ppi) levels in hemodialysis-dependent (hd) end stage kidney disease (eskd) study participants who have low ppi levels. in addition, the effect of hemodialysis on the pharmacokinetics of inz-701 and ppi levels will be evaluated.

inz-701 is an ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (enpp1) recombinant fusion protein in development for the treatment of calciphylaxis. the seaport 1 (inz701-401) study is a phase 1, open-label study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (pk), and pharmacodynamics (pd) of multiple doses of inz-701 in study participants aged \>18 to \< 70 years with hd-dependent eskd. anticipated enrollment in the study is up to 10 study participants. the purpose of this study is to determine if inz-701 increases ppi levels, as well as assess the pk/ pd characteristics of inz-701 in patients with clinically low ppi levels. the study will consist of a screening period lasting up to 30 days, a treatment and assessment period lasting 26 days, an end of study (eos) visit 30- or 60- days after the last dose of inz-701, , and a follow-up period lasting up to 365 days after the last dose during the follow-up period, safety, ppi, enpp1 activity, anti-drug antibodies (ada) assessments, and genetic testing will be conducted. participants may be followed for \> 1 year if they have increasing ada titers or have serious adverse events (saes) related to adas as determined by the sponsor
