ENPP1 INHIBITORS FOR TREATING OR PREVENTING HYPOPHOSPHATAS1A CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[00011 This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Number 63 / 698,454, filed September 24, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND
[0002] Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disorder that affects the development of bones and teeth. HPP is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the ALPL gene, which provides instructions for making an enzyme called tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TN SALP). This enzyme plays an essential role in mineralization, which is critical for the formation of bones that are strong and rigid and teeth that can withstand chewing and grinding. Mutations in the ALPL gene lead to the production of an abnormal version of TN SALP that cannot participate effectively in the mineralization process. A shortage of TN SALP allows several other substances, which are normally processed by the enzyme, to build up abnormally in the body. Researchers believe that a buildup of one of these compounds, inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), underlies the defective mineralization of bones and teeth in people with HPP. ALPL gene mutations that almost completely eliminate the activity of TN SALP usually result in the more severe forms of HPP. Other mutations, which reduce but do not eliminate the activity of the enzyme, often cause the milder forms of the condition.
[0003] Hypophosphatasia (HPP) displays a wide array of symptoms that can manifest at any stage from about prenatal development through to adulthood, with the most critical conditions often observed before birth and in the early years of life. This disorder leads to the weakening and softening of bones, resulting in skeletal deformities akin to rickets, characterized by shortened limbs, unusual chest shapes, and soft skull bones in affected infants. Early infancy may also bring severe challenges, including difficulties with feeding and weight gain, respiratory issues, and elevated calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), potentially causing frequent vomiting and renal complications, which can be life-threatening in some instances.
[0004] HPP presents in less severe forms during childhood or adulthood compared to its manifestation in infancy. One early indication in children is the premature loss of primary teeth, followed by potential growth issues such as short stature, bowed legs or knock knees, and enlarged wrist and ankle joints, along with an irregular skull shape. In adults, HPP primarily leads to osteomalacia, a condition where bones soften, predisposing individuals to frequent fractures, particularly in the feet and thighs, which can cause ongoing pain. Additionally, adults with HPP are prone to early loss of their adult teeth and face a higher likelihood of experiencing joint pain and inflammation.
[0005] The least severe variant of HPP, known as odontohypophosphatasia, exclusively impacts dental health. Individuals with this form of the condition often encounter issues with tooth development and experience early tooth loss. Unlike other types of HPP, odontohypophosphatasia does not lead to the skeletal deformities commonly associated with the disorder.
[0006] Novel strategies are needed to treat or prevent HPP.SUMMARY
[0007] It is contemplated that there is a safe and effective oral therapy for treating HPP. It is also contemplated that compounds of Formula I or Table 1 (e.g., Compound II), as defined herein, can be administered orally to treat HPP. It is further contemplated that compounds of Formula I or Table 1 (e.g., Compound II) can be administered once a day with reduced side effects compared to current standard of care, Asfotase alfa. Current standard of care for treating these patients is an injectable drug, Asfotase alfa, which has known side effects, such as injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, increased nephrocalcinosis, and craniosynostosis. With administration of Asfotase alfa, there can also be partial impact on the kidneys and muscles. However, when administering a compound as disclosed herein (e.g., Compound II), it is contemplated that there is still reduction of plasma PPi, musculoskeletal improvements, no injection site reactions, prevention of craniosynostosis, reduction / elimination of nephrocalcinosis, ocular calcification, muscle pain, and / or fatigue, and combinations thereof.

[0062] As used herein the terms “alteration,” “defect,” “variation,” or “mutation” refer to a mutation in a gene in a cell that affects the function, activity, expression (transcription or translation) or conformation of the polypeptide it encodes. Mutations encompassed by the present disclosure can be any mutation of a gene in a cell that results in the enhancement or disruption of the function, activity’, expression or confonnation of the encoded polypeptide, including the complete absence of expression of the encoded protein and can include, for example, mis sense and nonsense mutations, insertions, deletions, frameshifts and premature terminations. Without being so limited, mutations encompassed by the present disclosure may alter splicing the mRNA (splice site mutation) or cause a shift in the reading frame (frameshift).
[0063] By “pain” as used herein refers to physical suffering or discomfort caused by HPP, such as bone pain. For instance, symptoms of pain can include, e.g., soreness, tightness, or stiffness. The severity of pain can vary between patients (e.g., chronic pain or acute pain). In particular, chronic pain refers to pain that lasts longer than three to six months or pain that extend beyond the expected period of healing. In contrast, acute pain refers to pain that typically lasts less than three to six months. As described herein, therapeutic compositions (e.g., including the compounds provided herein) can be administered to a patient suffering from about pain (e.g., bone pain) in an amount sufficient to relieve or at least partially relieve the symptoms of pain (e.g, discomfort, soreness, tightness, or stiffness) and its complications (e.g., fatigue, sleeplessness, weakened immune system, depression, anxiety, stress, irritability, or disability). In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the pain can be muscle pain and / or joint pain.
[0064] “Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires” are standardized tools used to measure an individual's overall well-being and satisfaction with life, covering various aspects such as physical health, psychological state, level of independence, social relationships, personal beliefs, and their relationship to salient features of their environment. These questionnaires are used in a wide range of fields, including healthcare, psychology, and social science research. They can be generic, suitable for use across different diseases, populations, and interventions, or disease-specific, designed to assess the impact of a specific condition on an individual's quality of life. QoL questionnaires typically consist of a series of questions or statements where responses are quantified and then summed to produce a score that represents an individual's quality of life. The design of these instruments is based on a conceptual framework that defines what quality of life means for the target population, ensuring that the questionnaire measures whatit intends to accurately and reliably. These tools are particularly important in clinical trials and health outcomes research to assess the effectiveness of medical treatments not just in terms of clinical or physiological outcomes, but also in how they affect a patient's daily life and overall satisfaction. They can also guide clinical decision-making, helping healthcare providers understand the patient's perspective and what matters most to them in tenns of health and treatment outcomes.
[0065] In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the level of pain is evaluated by Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) questionnaire. The BPI-SF questionnaire is a widely used self-reporting tool designed to assess the severity of pain and the impact of pain on daily functions. It is a shorter version of the original Brief Pain Inventory and focuses on key areas to efficiently evaluate a patient's pain experience. The BPI-SF asks patients to rate their pain at its worst, least, average, and current levels on a scale from about 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Additionally, it assesses how pain interferes with general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work (both outside the home and housework), relationships with others, sleep, and enjoyment of life, using a similar 0 to 10 scale. This tool is useful in both clinical settings for pain management and research studies to quantify the impact of pain on an individual’s life, allowing healthcare providers to tailor treatments to the patient's specific needs and measure the effectiveness of pain management strategies over time.
[0066] The terms “Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument” or “PODCI,” as used herein, refer to a questionnaire used to assess overall health, incidence of pain, and ability to perfonn ADLs of patients under 19 years of age, particularly in patients with chronic health disorders, such as patients with HPP. For a description of the PODCI, see Plint et al. (J. Pediatr. Orthop. 23(6): 788-790, 2003), hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The questionnaire may be completed by the patient or by a parent / guardian of the patient with knowledge of tire patient's condition. Hie eight scales generated from about the PODCI include the following: 1) the upper extremity and physical function scale to measure difficulty encountered in performing daily personal care and student activities; 2) the transfer and basic mobility scale to measure difficulty experienced in performing routine motion and motor activities in daily activities; 3) the sports / physical functioning scale to measure difficulty or limitations encountered in participating in more active activities or sports; 4) the pain / comfort scale to measure the level of pain experienced during the past week; 5) the treatment expectations scale to measure the long temi expectations of treatment; 6) the happiness scale to measure overall satisfaction with personal looks and sense of similarity to friends and others of own age; 7) the satisfaction with symptoms scale to measure the patients acceptance of current limitations should this be a life-long state; and 8) the global functioning scale, which is a general combined scale calculated from about the first four scales listed above.Standardized scores are generated from about a series of questions in the PODCI and converted to a 0 to 100 scale, in which 0 represents significant disability and 100 represents less disability.
[0067] The '‘Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Third Edition (PDMS-3)” as used herein, is an early childhood motor development program comprised of one supplemental and five core subtests providing in-depth assessment, training, and remediation of gross and fine motor skills in individuals ages 0 to 5 years, 11 months. Tire five core subtests include the following: 1) Body Control. This subtest measures the ability to move tire limbs and trunk, postural reactions, standing, bending, extending, stooping, balancing, jumping upward. It is an estimate of the child's ability to sustain control of his or her body within its center of gravity and retain equilibrium; 2) Body Transport. This subtest measures the ability to make movements that propel the child from about one location to another, such as rolling, crawling, creeping, walking, running jumping forward and sideward, sliding, hopping, and skipping; 3) Object Control. This subtest measures the ability to coordinate motor movements that require the incorporation of perception and movement, such as throwing, catching, bouncing, and kicking a ball; 4) Hand Manipulation. This subtest measures the ability to move the hands and fingers (and anns as appropriate) to complete tasks and measure dexterity. This includes manipulation of objects such as blocks, cups, and drawing instruments; and 5) Eye-Hand Coordination. This subtest measures the ability to interpret visual stimuli in coordination with hand-finger movements. It is an estimate of the child's ability to integrate and use his or her visual perceptual skills to perfonn complex eye-hand coordination tasks. The supplemental subtest is physical fitness, which measures the ability to perform activities like push-ups, sit ups, repetitive jumps, running speed, throwing for distance, and sit and reach / flexibility.
[0068] As used herein, '‘Six Minute Walk Test” andC'6MWT” refer to a standardized test to assess walking ability of a patient (e.g., a child having HPP), in particular, the ability of the patient to lift and set down each foot in turn. See the American Thoracic Society statement: guidelines for the six-minute walk test (American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. 166(1): 111-7, 2002), hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Tire 6MWT is determined from about tire distance (e g., in meters) that a patient walks on a flat, hard surface in a period of six minutes. The 6MWT distance can then be compared to the 6MWT distance of the patient at baseline, the 6MWT distance of an untreated subject (e.g., an untreated subject of about the same age, height, and / or gender), or the 6MWT distance of a healthy subject (e.g., a healthy subject of about the same age, height, and / or gender) and expressed as a percentage to determine the 6MWT value.
[0069] The term “RGI-C Responder” refers to a classification based on the Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) scale, a tool used to evaluate changes in bone structure and disease progression or improvement in patients with HPP. The RGI-C scale is designed to provide a systematic assessment of radiographic images, such as X-rays, to judge the efficacy of treatments for skeletal disorders. An "RGI-C Responder" in HPP patients is someone who shows a clinically meaningful improvement in bone radiographs over a specified period, indicating a positive response to treatment.This improvement can include enhanced bone mineralization, correction of skeletal abnormalities, or other radiographic signs of bone health progress. The RGI-C scale helps clinicians quantify the benefits of treatments like enzyme replacement therapy, making it possible to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions and adjust treatment plans to optimize patient outcomes in HPP management. The RGI-C scale typically involves a scoring system where changes in radiographic images are rated on a scale (a 7-point scale in which a rating of -3 represents severe worsening and a rating of +3 indicates near or complete healing): "Significantly Worse (-3)," "Moderately Worse (-2)," "Slightly Worse (-1)," "Unchanged (0)," "Slightly Improved (+1)," "Moderately Improved(+2)," "Significantly Improved(+3)".
[0070] Tire terms “Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency 2nd Edition” or “BOT-2,” as used herein, refer to the second edition of a standardized test of gross and fine motor performance for patients, e.g., including adolescent and adult patients having HPP. See Bruininks, R. H. (2005). Bruininks- Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, (BOT-2). Minneapolis, Minn. Pearson Assessment, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The BOT-2 is administered individually to assess gross and fine motor skills of a range of patients. The BOT-2, for example, can be used to evaluate physical impairments and mobility restrictions in patients having HPP (e.g., adults and adolescents having HPP). The BOT-2 provides composite BOT-2 scores in the following exemplary areas: strength, running speed and agility, fine motor precision, fine motor integration, manual dexterity, bilateral coordination, balance, and upperlimb coordination. For example, a BOT-2 strength total score can be determined by having a patient perform sit-ups, v-ups, standing long jump, wall sit, and push-ups. A running speed and agility total score can be determined by having a patient step over a balance beam or perform a shuttle run, two-legged side hop, or one-legged side hop. Both BOT-2 total strength and BOT-2 running speed and agility total scores range from about 0 to 25, in which a score of about 10 to 25 is considered representative of healthy subjects. Normative scores for the strength and running speed and agility are 15+ / - 5. Adult and adolescent scores are not normed (does not use the scaled score), and thus higher point values represent better performance. Either average or median scores may be used, with median scores preferred for smaller sample sizes or smaller data sets.
[0071] Tire terms “modified Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment-Gait” and “mPOMA-G,” as used herein, refer to a modified version of the Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment — Gait (POMA-G), such as a POMA-G that is modified to provide improved sensitivity’ for gait impainnents in POMA-G components that pertain to HPP patients (e.g.. a child or an adolescent with HPP). The POMA is a validated tool that consists of 2 subtests: tire POMA-G (Gait) and the POMA-B (Balance). See Tinetti et al. (Am J Med 80:429-434, 1986) for a description of the POMA-G; hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Gait performance of an HPP patient (e.g., a child or an adolescent with HPP) can be assessed using an mPOMA-G test, e.g., in which the POMA-G analysis has been modified to remove theless appropriate components, i.e., the initiation of gait and path components, of the POMA-G. For example, the mPOMA-G analysis can provide a total score of 12 points, similarly to the POMA-G components, of step length and height, step symmetry, step continuity, trunk sway, and walking stance, in which a score of 12 indicates no gait impairments, and lower scores indicate gait impairments.
[0072] The terms "Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire" or "CHAQ." as used herein refer to a questionnaire that is used to assess the health status (e.g., ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and incidence of pain) of patients of 1 to 19 years of age, such as patients with HPP. For a description of the CHAQ index, see Bruce & Fries (J. Rheumatol. 30(1 ): 167-178.. 2003), hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The CHAQ may be administered by interview or self-report for children greater than 8 years of age. The CHAQ includes eight sub-scales for dressing / grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. Hie range of scores within each category is from about 0 to 3. in which a score of 0 indicates without any difficulty; a score of 1 indicates with some difficulty; a score of 2 indicates with much difficulty; and a score of 3 indicates that the patient is unable to perform the activity. The CHAQ index may also be used to determine the presence and severity of pain.
[0073] The “Timed Up-and-Go” or “TUG” test, as used herein, retains its fundamental purpose of assessing mobility, balance, and walking ability. The interpretation of TUG test results in HPP patients, like in other populations, considers the time taken to complete the test, with longer times indicating potential mobility issues or a higher risk of falls. The total TUG duration (TTD) is usually the only outcome measure, with TTD shortening indicating the patient's improvement. Mobility is assessed based on time to complete the test: < 10 seconds = normal; < 20 seconds = good mobility; can walk outside alone; does not require a walking aid; < 30 seconds = walking and balance problems; cannot walk outside alone; requires walking aid. A cut-off of 13.5 seconds or longer is reported to be predictive of falling risk.
[0074] The “Lower Extremity Functional Scale” or “LEFS” is a questionnaire used to assess the functional status of individuals with disorders of the lower extremities. It is particularly valuable in gauging a patient’s difficulty in performing everyday tasks due to lower limb issues. The LEFS consists of 20 questions, each asking the respondent to rate their level of difficulty in perfonning different activities that involve the lower extremities, such as walking, going up or down stairs, and carrying objects. Responses are scored on a scale, with higher scores indicating better functional performance. In the context of Hypophosphatasia (HPP). the LEFS can serve several important roles: 1) Baseline Functional Assessment: The LEFS can help establish a baseline of functional abilities in individuals diagnosed with HPP. This is crucial for understanding the impact of the disease on lower limb function and for planning treatment and rehabilitation strategies; 2) Monitoring Disease Progression: Regular administration of the LEFS over time can provide valuable information on the progression of HPP and itsimpact on lower extremity function. This can help in adjusting treatment plans as needed; 3) Evaluating Treatment Efficacy: For HPP patients undergoing various treatments, including enzyme replacement therapy, physical therapy, or surgical interventions, the LEFS score can be a useful outcome measure to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in improving lower limb function; and 4) Guiding Rehabilitation Programs: The detailed information provided by the LEFS on specific areas of difficulty can help healthcare providers tailor rehabilitation programs to the unique needs of HPP patients, focusing on improving those activities that are most challenging for them. The LEFS is appreciated for its simplicity, reliability, and sensitivity to changes in lower extremity function over time. However, when using the LEFS with HPP patients, it is important to consider the specific manifestations of the disease that may affect lower limb function, such as bone fragility, muscle weakness, and pain. Tire interpretation of LEFS scores should be integrated into a comprehensive clinical assessment, taking into account other aspects of the patient’s health and overall functional abilities. The total LEFS score ranges from about 0 to 80 with higher scores indicating better lower extremity function. And the total LEFS score can be interpreted as 0-20: Severe dysfunction, 21-40: Moderate dysfunction, 41-60: Mild dysfunction and 61- 80: Minimal or no dysfunction.
[0075] The 30-second Sit to Stand (STS) Test is a functional exercise test used to assess lower body strength, endurance, and balance, ft measures how many times an individual can stand up from about a seated position and then sit back down in a chair within a 30-second time frame without using their arms for support. For individuals with HPP, this test can provide valuable information regarding their lower extremity strength and functional mobility. It helps in identifying the degree to which HPP has impacted their physical capabilities, especially those related to movements that are essential for daily activities. The test is also useful for monitoring changes in physical function over time, assessing the effectiveness of treatments or physical therapy interventions aimed at improving muscle strength and endurance, and guiding the development of personalized rehabilitation programs. By evaluating the number of repetitions completed, healthcare providers can gauge the severity of functional limitations, track progress, and adjust treatment plans accordingly to enhance the quality of life for patients with HPP.
[0076] Tire measurement of “handheld dynamometer” is a specific clinical assessment aimed at quantifying the muscle strength of the grip strength, knee flexion, knee extension, hip flexion, hip extension, or hip abduction. Tire hip extensors and abductors play critical roles in walking, standing, and maintaining balance. This non-invasive. practical method allows for the direct measurement of muscle strength, offering objective data crucial for diagnosing HPP, tracking disease progression, and tailoring rehabilitation and treatment plans. By quantifying muscle strength, healthcare providers can better understand the extent of muscle involvement, monitor changes over time, and evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions like enzyme replacement therapy, physical therapy, or surgery. The grip andmuscle strength of subjects having or being prone to HPP can be assessed using Hand Held Dynamometry (HHD). For example, knee flexion and extension and also hip flexion, extension, and abduction of a subject having or being prone to a muscle weakness disease can be measured using, e.g., a MICR0FET2™ Dynamometer, while grip strength of the subject can be measured using, e.g., a Jamar Grip Dynamometer. In particular, the administrator holds the dynamometer stationary, and the subject exerts a maximal force against the dynamometer. Peak force data is collected in pounds, then converted to Newtons (N). Torque values are then calculated using limb length in N-meters. The torque value can then be compared to the torque value of, e.g., a normal subject of about the same age, the same gender, and / or the same height, and expressed as a percentage value to generate the HHD value of the subject.
[0077] The Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Z-score, obtained through Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), is a critical parameter. DXA is a leading diagnostic tool used to measure bone density and assess the risk of fractures. The Z-score is a statistical measurement that compares an individual's bone density to the expected bone density for a person of the same age, sex, and size. A Z-score is expressed in standard deviation units from about the mean (average) value for the population. In the context of HPP, a lower Z-score indicates a lower bone density compared to what is typically expected, highlighting the severity of bone involvement in the patient. Regular DXA assessments allow for monitoring disease progression and assessing the effectiveness of treatments aimed at improving bone health, such as supplementation, physical therapy, or enzyme replacement therapy. Particularly crucial for children and adolescents due to their developing bones, and significant for adults to reduce fracture risks, the BMD Z- score serves as a fundamental metric in tailoring treatment strategies, guiding clinical decisions, and improving patient outcomes in individuals with HPP. BMD Z-score ranges as follows: 1) +2.0 or higher: A Z-score in this range signifies that an individual's bone density is significantly above the average for their age, sex, and body size. While uncommon, such elevated scores may occasionally highlight health conditions or factors contributing to increased bone density; 2) Between -2.0 and +2.0: This range is considered normal, suggesting the individual's bone density aligns with the average expected for people of the same age, sex, and body size category; and 3) -2.0 or lower: Signifies bone density substantially below what is expected for the individual's age, sex, and size, indicating a potential concern for bone health that may require further exploration, though not diagnosing any specific condition on its own.
[0078] The terms “Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition” or “BSID-III” as used herein refer to a standardized series of measurements used to assess the motor (fine and gross), language (receptive and expressive), and cognitive development of patients, e.g., infants and toddlers. See Bayley, (2006). Bayley scales of infant and toddler development: administration manual. San Antonio, Tex.: Harcourt Assessment, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In particular, the BSID-III is designed to assess infants and young children. The BSID-III measurements include a series ofdevelopmental play tasks to be administered to the patient. Raw scores of successfully completed items are converted to scaled scores. The scaled scores are then used to determine the patient's performance compared to healthy, age-adjusted patients. The BSID-III can also include the Social-Emotional Adaptive Behavior Questionnaire, which is completed by the parent / guardian, to establish the range of adaptive behaviors of the patient. For example, measurements for determining the BSID-III score (e.g., the BSID- III gross motor function score) can include prehension, perceptual-motor integration, motor planning and speed, visual tracking, reaching, object grasping, object manipulation, functional hand skills, responses to tactile information, movement of the limbs and torso, static positioning, dynamic movement, balance, and motor planning. These patient measurements are then converted into a BSID-III scaled score (e.g., the BSID-III gross motor function scaled score) ranging from about 0 to 14, in which scores of about 7 to about 13 are considered the normal range of healthy patients.
[0079] Enzyme Replacement Therapy (EZRT) for HPP is a targeted treatment approach designed to address the underlying cause of this rare, inherited metabolic disorder. EZRT for HPP involves the administration of a recombinant form of TNSALP, such as asfotase alfa (STRENSIQ®), which is specifically designed to replace the missing or malfunctioning enzyme in patients with HPP, thereby helping to restore normal ALP activity levels. This therapy aims to improve bone mineralization, reduce skeletal abnormalities, enhance physical mobility, and improve overall quality of life for individuals with HPP. Asfotase alfa is typically administered via subcutaneous injection and is the first treatment specifically approved for the management of pediatric-onset HPP, though its benefits extend to affected individuals of all ages depending on the severity and presentation of the disease. By "asfotase alfa" is meant a human TNSALP (hTNSALP) fusion protein formulated for the treatment of HPP. Asfotase alfa is a fusion protein including a soluble glycoprotein of two identical polypeptide chains. The structure of each polypeptide chain includes the catalytic domain of hTNSALP, the human immunoglobulin Fc domain, and a deca-aspartate peptide used as a bone targeting domain (the structure hTNSALP-Fc-Dio). The two polypeptide chains are covalently linked by two disulfide bonds. Asfotase alfa has been approved under the trade name STRENSIQ® (Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) in the United States in 2015.
[0080] The “Rickets Severity Scale (RSS) score” is a diagnostic tool used to assess the severity of rickets, a bone condition that leads to softening and weakening of the bones, primarily in children. This condition is commonly associated with vitamin D deficiency but can also occur in various metabolic disorders, including Hypophosphatasia (HPP). The RSS score quantifies the severity of rickets based on radiographic findings, providing a standardized method to evaluate the skeletal abnormalities associated with the condition. It typically involves the examination of X-rays from about the knees and wrists of the affected individual, two areas commonly impacted by rickets. The RSS is calculated by assessing features such as growth plate widening, metaphyseal cupping and fraying, metaphyseal splaying. Each of thesefeatures is graded, and the scores are combined to provide an overall severity score. The score can range from about 0 (indicating no evidence of rickets) to a higher value that indicates more severe rachitic changes. The exact scoring system can vary, but it often involves a scale from about 0 to 10 or more, with specific criteria defined for each score level. For example, 0 represents no signs of rickets; 1-3 represents mild rickets, with slight widening of the growth plates and minimal metaphyseal abnormalities; 4-6 represents moderate rickets, with clear evidence of growth plate widening, moderate metaphyseal cupping and fraying, and some metaphyseal splaying; and 7-10 represents severe rickets, with significant growth plate widening, severe metaphyseal abnormalities including marked cupping, fraying, and splaying. Given the variability in scoring systems and the need for precise radiographic evaluation, healthcare professionals typically interpret RSS scores within the broader context of a patient's clinical presentation, biochemical markers, and other diagnostic findings.[00811 ‘ ‘Osteoid thickness” refers to the measurement of the non-mineralized, newly formed bone matrix layer, known as osteoid, which is a critical component in the bone formation process. Enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) plays a vital role in bone mineralization by hydrolyzing inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a potent inhibitor of mineralization. In HPP, the lack of ALP activity leads to an accumulation of PPi, which inhibits calcium and phosphate from about being deposited into the bone matrix, resulting in the persistence of osteoid tissue that cannot properly mature into hard, mineralized bone. Increased osteoid thickness can indicate a significant mineralization defect. The osteoid layer in healthy individuals is typically thin, reflecting a balanced and efficient process of bone formation and mineralization. However, in conditions like HPP, the osteoid layer can be markedly thicker due to the impaired mineralization process. This increased thickness can be observed and quantified through bone histomorphometry, a microscopic examination of bone tissue. The measurement of osteoid thickness, along with other histomorphometric parameters such as osteoid volume and osteoid surface, helps in assessing the severity of the mineralization defect in patients with HPP. It provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of treatments aimed at improving bone mineralization and overall bone health in these patients. For instance, enzyme replacement therapy in HPP aims to reduce the accumulation of PPi by substituting the deficient ALP, thereby potentially normalizing osteoid thickness over time by improving the bone's ability to mineralize properly. In healthy individuals, the normal range of osteoid thickness is typically between 3 to 12 micrometers (pm). This range indicates a balanced bone remodeling process, where new bone formation and mineralization are proceeding efficiently. In HPP, due to the deficiency of ALP activity, there is an accumulation of PPi, a potent inhibitor of mineralization. This leads to an increase in osteoid thickness. While specific values can vary among individuals, osteoid thickness in HPP patients can be significantly higher than the upper limit of the normal range, often exceeding 12 pm. Theexact thickness can vary widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age of the patient, and other individual factors.
[0082] “Muscle Strength Grade”, often assessed using the Medical Research Council (MRC) Muscle Scale, is a standardized method for evaluating and documenting muscle strength in patients. This grading system is particularly relevant in various medical conditions that can affect muscle strength. In HPP, muscle weakness can be a significant clinical feature, affecting patients' mobility and quality of life. The MRC Scale is a widely used clinical tool to assess muscle strength on a scale of 0 to 5, with the following grades: 0: No muscle contraction detected (paralysis); 1 : Trace of muscle contraction, but no significant movement at the joint; 2: Active movement possible with gravity eliminated; 3: Active movement against gravity but not against resistance; 4: Active movement against gravity and some resistance but weaker than normal; 5: Normal muscle strength.ENPP1 inhibitors
[0083] Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase / phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPPl) is an ectoenzyme which hydrolyzes ATP into PPi and AMP in the extracellular space. PPi functions as a potent inhibitor of hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystal growth, which is the inorganic mineral component of calcium phosphate and critical for bone mineralization. As ENPP1 is the primary source of PPi, inhibition of this enzyme represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of HPP. Normalizing extracellular PPi levels by targeting ENPP1 could provide significant relief from about the severe symptoms of this debilitating disease. Targeted therapeutics that inhibit ENPP1 activity or neutralize PPi could lead to effective interventions for HPP.

[0163] The present disclosure provides a method of treating or preventing one or more symptoms of hypophosphatasia (HPP) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or Table 1 (e.g., Compound II) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a composition as provided herein.
[0164] Provided herein are use of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or Table 1 (e.g., Compound II), or a composition in the manufacture for a medicament for treating or preventing one or more symptoms of hypophosphatasia (HPP) in a subject in need thereof.
[0165] Also provided herein is a therapeutically effective amount of Formula I or a compound of Table 1 (e.g., Compound II or a composition for use in the treatment or prevention of one or more symptoms of hypophosphatasia (HPP) in a subject in need thereof.
[0166] In some embodiments, the subject is an infant, a child, an adolescent or an adult.
[0167] In some embodiments, the subject is 1) a treatment naive subject: 2) an adult with childhoodonset HPP: 3) an adult with adult-onset HPP; 4) a juvenile with childhood-onset HPP; 5) an infant with infantile HPP; or 6) an enzyme replacement therapy (EZRT) intolerant subject.
[0168] Tire terms "hypophosphatasia " or “HPP,” as used herein, refer to a rare, heritable skeletal disorder caused by, e.g., one or more loss-of-function mutations in tire ALPL (alkaline phosphatase, liver / bone / kidney) gene, which encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TN SALP). HPP may be further characterized as perinatal HPP (e.g.. benign perinatal HPP or lethal perinatal HPP), infantile HPP. childhood HPP, adult HPP or odonto-HPP. See Michigami et al., Clin Pediatr Endocrinol, 2020.
[0169] For instance, “perinatal HPP” presents with clinical features noted either at birth or in utero based on prenatal ultrasound. Clinical exam reveals obvious skeletal abnormalities including chest wall deformities, as well as long bones that are short or bowed or both. The skeleton is hypomineralized. Historically, this form of HPP was frequently fatal. However, the availability of alkaline phosphatase enzyme replacement therapy (asfotase alfa) has significantly altered the natural history of perinatal HPP and most children survive.
[0170] ‘ ‘Infantile HPP” describes a patient having HPP that is less than 6 months of age after birth. Characteristic changes of rickets are seen on radiographs, and fractures are often present. Infants fail to grow appropriately and some experience vitamin B6-responsive seizures. Hypercalcemia andnephrocalcinosis also are common. As with the perinatal form, morbidity and mortality are attenuated with asfotase alfa treatment.
[0171] “Childhood HPP / juvenile HPP” describes a patient having HPP that is after 6 months of age to about 18 years of age. Children often have delays in gross motor milestones and static myopathy. A common feature of childhood HPP is premature loss of deciduous teeth (before 5 years of age) with the roots intact. Radiographs reveal changes consistent with rickets and often a radiolucent band extending from the growth plate into the metaphysis.
[0172] “Adult HPP” describes a patient having HPP that is older than about 18 years of age. Adult HPP may manifest with recurrent or slow-to-heal metatarsal fractures or subtrochanteric femoral pseudofractures. A review of Mayo Clinic patients diagnosed with HPP as adults demonstrated that nonspecific musculoskeletal complaints were common at the time of presentation. Many adults with HPP report having had symptoms during childhood, despite formal diagnosis not being made until later in life.
[0173] ‘ Odonto-HPP” is the least severe form of HPP regardless of age. Odontohypophosphatasia is diagnosed w hen dental abnormalities are present but no other skeletal disease, such as rickets or osteomalacia, is identified.
[0174] In some embodiments, the hypophosphatasia is prenatal hypophosphatasia. In some embodiments, the hypophosphatasia is perinatal hypophosphatasia.
[0175] By “treatment naive subject” is meant a subject or patient having HPP that has never received a treatment of medicine or therapy for HPP. In other words, prior to the treatment using the compound or composition provided herein, the subject has not received any prior treatment or therapy for HPP.
[0176] By “adult with childhood-onset HPP” is meant an adult subject or patient suffering from HPP with the onset of the HPP at childhood or the time of being a juvenile.
[0177] By “adult with adult-onset HPP” is meant an adult subject or patient suffering from HPP with the onset of the HPP at the time of being an adult.
[0178] By “juvenile with childhood-onset HPP” is meant an adolescent or a child subject or patient suffering from HPP with the onset of the HPP at childhood or the time of being a juvenile.
[0179] By “infant with infantile HPP” is meant an infant subject or patient suffering from HPP with the onset of the HPP at infancy.
[0180] In certain embodiments, prior to the treatment using the compound or composition provided herein, the subject has received a prior treatment or therapy for HPP, such as enzyme replacement therapy (EZRT), for example Strensiq®.
[0181] In certain embodiments, the subject is refractory' to, or has relapsed following a prior treatment for HPP, such as EZRT (for example Strensiq®).
[0182] In certain embodiments, the subject is EZRT intolerant or EZRT resistant.
[0183] In some embodiments, the hypophosphatasia is of any form. In some embodiments, the one or more symptoms of HPP include at least one of pathogenic or likely pathogenic ALPL gene mutation, elevated blood and / or urine levels of natural substrates, poorly healing fractures, chondrocalcinosis, nephrocalcinosis, rickets, early atraumatic loss of teeth, premature loss of deciduous teeth, short stature or linear growth failure overtime, delayed motor milestones, craniosynostosis. B6 responsive seizures, incomplete bone mineralization, elevated blood and / or urine levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), elevated blood levels of phosphoethanolamine (PEA), elevated urine levels of PEA, elevated blood levels of pyridoxal 5 ’-phosphate (PLP), elevated urine levels of PLP, hypomineralization, rachitic ribs, hypercalciuria, short stature, skeletal deformity, waddling gait, bone pain, bone fracture (such as atypical femoral fractures or recurrent metatarsal fractures), HPP-related seizure, inadequate weight gain, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition, or any combinations thereof.
[0184] The one or more symptoms of EIPP selected from about Table 2 can be used in the diagnosis of HPP in adults and children with persistently low alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The diagnostic criteria are described in the prior art, such as by Khan et al., Osteoporosis International, 2023, 35:431-438 (illustrated in Table 2), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.Table 2. Diagnostic Criteria for HPP in Adults and Children with Persistently Low ALP
[0185] In some embodiments, the subject has an alteration in the ALPL gene. In some embodiments, the alteration in the ALPL gene is a mutation. In some embodiments, the subject has an alteration in a gene that can regulate TN SALP activity. In some embodiments, the alteration in a gene that can regulate TN SALP activity is an alteration in RUNX2.
[0186] Subjects having HPP can be identified for treatment with the compounds or compositions provided herein by determining the Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and / or Pyridoxal 5 ’-Phosphate (PLP) concentrations in a plasma sample from about the subject. PPi plays a critical role in various biological processes, including bone mineralization and energy metabolism. Tire physiological levels of PPi can vary in the body, notably in plasma and urine, and can be influenced by several factors, including health conditions such as hypophosphatasia (HPP). In patients with HPP, plasma and urine levels of PPi are elevated due to the reduced enzymatic activity of ALP.
[0187] Any method known to those of skill in the art can be used to quantify the PPi and PLP concentrations in a plasma sample or alternatively in a urine sample, as described in detail in Whyte et al., 1995 (J. Clin. Invest. 95(4): 1440-1445), hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety . In particular, PPi and PLP concentrations in a plasma sample can be used to evaluate ALP activity for the patient. In comparison to healthy subjects (e.g., healthy subjects of about the same age, same gender, and / or same height), HPP patients typically exhibit elevated plasma concentrations of PPi and PLP, such as a PPi concentration of about 5 pM or greater and / or a PLP concentration of about 50 ng / ml or greater. Thelower normal limit for plasma PPi concentrations of healthy adults is about 1 pM, while the upper normal limit is about 5.9 pM. Tire lower normal limit for plasma PPi concentrations of adolescent adults is about 0.8 pM, while the upper normal limit is about 4.9 pM. The urinary PPi concentration can vary more widely than plasma levels, but in general, the daily excretion in a healthy adult is approximately 10-15 mg / day, depending on various factors like diet and hydration status. Tire lower normal limit for plasma PLP concentrations of healthy adults is less than about 10 ng / ml, while the upper normal limit is about 60 ng / ml. The lower normal limit for plasma PLP concentrations of adolescent adults is less than about 10 ng / ml, while the upper normal limit is less than about 25 ng / mL.
[0188] In certain embodiments, the methods of the present disclosure result in a decrease of urine or plasma levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) in tire subject having or being prone to HPP. Prior to the administration, the subject has a plasma PPi concentration of about 4.5 pM or greater. In certain embodiments, the methods result in an increase of urine or plasma levels of enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the subject having or being prone to HPP. For example, treatment with the compound or composition provided herein results in a decrease in PPi concentration in a sample (e.g., a plasma sample or a urine sample) from about the patient of about 1 pM. about 1.5 pM, about 2 pM, about 2.5 pM, or about 3 pM, about 4 pM, about 5 pM, about 6 pM, about 7 pM, about 8 pM, about 9 pM, about 10 pM, about 15 pM, or about 20 pM. or at least about 10% (e.g., at least about 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%. 70%. 75%. 80%. 85%. 90%. or 95%). Thus, the subject exhibits a plasma or urine PPi concentration of, e.g., about 2 pM to about 5 pM, about 3 pM to about 5 pM, about 2 pM to about 4 pM, about 2 pM to about 3 pM, or about 1 pM to about 3 pM after administration of the compound or composition provided herein. In certain embodiments, treatment with the compound or composition provided herein results in a decrease in PPi concentration in a urine sample from about the patient of about 1-3 mg / day. about 1-5 mg / day, about 2-8 mg / day. about 2-10 mg / day, about 5-10 mg / day. or at least 10% (e.g.. at least 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%. 60%. 65%. 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%. Thus, the subject exhibits a urine PPi concentration of, e.g., about 2 mg / day to about 5 mg / day, about 3 mg / day to about 8 mg / day, about 2 mg / day to about 8 mg / day, about 5 mg / day to about 10 mg / day, or about 5 mg / day to about 15 mg / day after administration of tire compound or composition provided herein.
[0189] PLP is the active form of vitamin B6 and serves as a coenzyme in numerous biochemical reactions, including those involved in amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and glycogenolysis. Normally, ALP converts PLP to pyridoxal (PL), which can then cross cell membranes easily. In HPP, due to the deficiency of ALP, PLP accumulates outside of cells because it cannot be adequately dephosphory lated to PL. This accumulation can lead to a biochemical imbalance, as PLP is essentially trapped in its phosphorylated form and cannot be utilized effectively in the body. The elevatedlevels of PLP in the serum are often used as one of the biochemical markers for diagnosing HPP. It's noteworthy that despite the high levels of PLP, individuals with HPP do not typically exhibit symptoms of vitamin B6 excess. This paradoxical situation is due to the enzyme deficiency at the root of HPP, which prevents the proper utilization of PLP within the body’s biochemical pathways.
[0190] In certain embodiments, treatment of the compounds or compositions provided herein results in an average decrease in PLP concentrations in a plasma sample and / or urine sample from about the patient of at least about 10% (e.g., at least 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%) relative to PLP concentrations in a plasma sample from about the patient prior to administration of the compounds or compositions provided herein.
[0191] Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, including the liver, bones, kidneys, and bile ducts. ALP plays a critical role in the process of breaking down proteins and is also involved in dephosphorylation, where phosphate groups are removed from about molecules, including the breakdown of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). The normal range of ALP can van depending on several factors, including age, sex, and the specific assay methods used by different laboratories. In adults, the normal range for ALP levels in the blood is usually cited as approximately 30 to 120 units per liter (U / L), but these values can vary based on the laboratory's reference standards. Children and adolescents typically have higher levels due to bone growth, and levels can also vary during pregnancy. ALP can also be measured in the urine, where it is normally present in low amounts. Urinary ALP levels can increase in conditions that affect the kidneys, but there isn't a well-established "normal" range like there is for plasma ALP levels. Prior to the administration, the subject has a plasma ALP concentration of about 90 U / L or less for a subject of 0 to 14 days of age; about 34 U / L or less for a subject of 15 days of age to less than 1 year of age; about 156 U / L or less for a subject of about 1 year of age to less than 10 years of age; about 141 U / L or less for a subject of about 10 years of age to less than about 13 years of age; about 62 U / L or less for a female subject of about 13 years of age to less than about 15 years of age; about 127 U / L or less for a male subject of about 13 years of age to less than about 15 years of age; about 54 U / L or less for a female subject of about 15 years of age to less than about 17 years of age; about 89 U / L or less for a male subject of about 15 years of age to less than about 17 years of age; about 48 U / L or less for a female subject of about 17 years of age or older; or about 59 U / L or less for a male subject of about 17 years of age or older.
[0192] Treatment with the compound or composition provided herein results in an increase in ALP concentration in a sample (e.g., a plasma sample or a urine sample) from about a subject (e.g., a human) having or being prone to HPP of at least 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, or at least about 100 U / L or greater, relative to the subject prior to administration of the compound or composition provided herein. For example, administration ofthe compound or composition provided herein increases the ALP concentration in a sample (e.g., a plasma sample) from about the subject to, e.g, about 1 U / L or greater for a subject of 0 to 14 days of age; about 518 U / L or greater for a subject of 15 days of age to less than 1 year of age; about 369 U / L or greater for a subject of about 1 year of age to less than 10 years of age; about 460 U / L or greater for a subject of about 10 years of age to less than about 13 years of age; about 280 U / L or greater for a female subject of about 13 years of age to less than about 15 years of age; about 517 U / L or greater for a male subject of about 13 years of age to less than about 15 years of age; about 128 U / L or greater for a female subject of about 15 years of age to less than about 17 years of age; about 365 U / L or greater for a male subject of about 15 years of age to less than about 17 years of age; about 95 U / L or greater for a female subject of about 17 years of age or older; or about 164 U / L or greater for a male subject of about 17 years of age or older.
[0193] In certain embodiments, the composition provided herein containing the compounds described herein are administered for prophylactic and / or therapeutic treatments. In certain therapeutic applications, the compounds are administered to a patient already suffering from about a disease or disorder, in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest at least one of the symptoms of the disease or condition. Amounts effective for this use depend on the severity and course of the disease or condition, previous therapy, the patient’s health status, weight, and response to the drugs, and the judgment of a healthcare practitioner. Therapeutically effective amounts are optionally determined by methods including, but not limited to, a dose escalation and / or dose ranging clinical trial.
[0194] In prophylactic applications, the compounds provided herein are administered to a patient susceptible to or otherwise at risk of a particular disease, disorder or condition. Such an amount is defined to be a “prophylactically effective amount or dose.” In this use, the precise amounts also depend on the patient’s state of health, weight, and the like. When used in patients, effective amounts for this use will depend on the severity and course of the disease, disorder or condition, previous therapy, the patient’s health status and response to the drags, and the judgment of a healthcare professional. In one aspect, prophylactic treatments include administering to a patient, who previously experienced at least one symptom of the disease being treated and is currently in remission, a composition provided herein comprising a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in order to prevent a return of the symptoms of the disease or condition.

The amount, frequency, and duration of dosage will be adapted by the clinician in accordance with conventional factors such as the extent of the disease and different parameters from about the HPP patient, such as an infant having HPP (e.g., an infant of about 3 years of age or less than 3 years of age), a child having HPP (e.g., a child of about 5 to about 12 years of age), an adolescent having HPP (e.g., an adolescent having HPP of about 12 to about 18 years of age) or an adult having HPP (e.g., an adult having HPP older than about 18 years of age.
[0196] In certain embodiments wherein tire patient’s condition does not improve, upon the discretion of a healthcare professional the administration of the composition provided herein are administered chronically, that is, for an extended period of time, including throughout the duration of the patient's life in order to ameliorate or otherwise control or limit the symptoms of the patient’s disease or condition.
[0197] In certain embodiments wherein a patient’s status does improve, the dose of drug being administered is temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length of time (z.e., a “drug holiday”). In specific embodiments, the length of the drug holiday is between 2 days and 1 year, including by way of example only, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, or more than 28 days. Tire dose reduction during a drug holiday is, by way of example only, by 10%- 100%, including by way of example only 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%. 75%. 80%. 85%. 90%. 95%. and 100%.
[0198] Once improvement of the patient's conditions has occurred, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, in specific embodiments, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, is reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved disease, disorder or condition is retained. In certain embodiments, however, the patient requires intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.
[0199] The amount of a given agent that corresponds to such an amount varies depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease condition and its severity, the identity e.g., weight, sex) of the subject or host in need of treatment, but nevertheless is determined according to the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, e.g., the specific agent being administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the subject or host being treated.

Impact of compounds on PPi levels in WT animals after a single dose
[0236] The effect of an exemplary compound of the present disclosure on PPi levels in wild-type animals was examined. Compound II was orally dosed to 6-8-week-old C57BL / 6J mice (n=5) and 6-8-week old female SD rats (n=5) at lOOmg / kg, QD as single dose. Plasma samples were taken at pre-dose and 1, 8 and 24 hours post-dose from rats, and at 8 and 24 hours post-last dose from mice in heparin SST tubes and spun down (7000 rpm x 10 min) immediately. For PPi analysis, the platelet removal step was perfonned by spinning down the plasma with a Spin-X column (0.22 pM. Costar 8160) immediately (7000 rpm x 2 min) and the eluted plasma was aliquoted / frozen down on dry ice immediately. Prior to PPi analysis, plasma samples were de-proteinated with a 10 kD cutoff column (Amicon #UFC501024) (4 °C). PPi from fdtered plasma was first converted to ATP by ATP sulfurylase (R&D# 7175-AS-020) in the presence of adenosine phosphosulfate (APS; Sigma# A5508). Reactions were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes at 90°C to deactivate ATP sulfurylase. The resulting ATP was then quantified with Bactiter Gio detection reagent (Promega G8230; Madison, Wl, USA). To account for endogenous ATP present in the plasma, a blank reaction was run for each sample with heat-inactivated ATP sulfurylase. The luminescent signals from this reaction were subtracted from the total luminescent signals to calculate the plasma PPi levels..
