19. The method of any one of claims 1-13, wherein the antibody is administered to the subject once every 6 weeks.
20. The method of any one of claims 1-19, wherein the ENPP1 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of 5 mg / day to 1000 mg / day.
21. The method of any one of claims 1-19, wherein the ENPP1 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of 10 mg / day to 50 mg / day.
22. The method of any one of claims 1-19, wherein the ENPP1 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dose of 10 mg / day, 20 mg / day, 30 mg / day, 40 mg / day, or 50 mg / day.
23.
