  Purpose

This Clinical Trial is being conducted to study Hypophosphatasia (HPP), a bone disorder caused by gene mutations or changes. These gene mutations cause low levels of an enzyme needed to harden bone. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of ENB-0040 and see what effects it has on humans and HPP. The study will also look at differences in injecting the drug into a vein with a needle (intravenously) and injecting it under the surface of the skin (subcutaneously).


Condition Intervention Phase

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Safety Study
Official Title: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Dose Escalating Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacology of Human Recombinant Tissue Non-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase Fusion Protein (ENB-0040) in Adults With Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine the safety and tolerability of ENB-0040 given intravenously and given subcutaneously. [ Time Frame: Within the first 2 months (8 weeks). ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ENB-0040 given intravenously and subcutaneously [ Time Frame: Within the first 2 months (8 weeks) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the bioavailability of the subcutaneous ENB-0040 [ Time Frame: Within the first 2 months (8 weeks) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 6
Study Start Date: August 2008
Study Completion Date: February 2009
Primary Completion Date: January 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Cohort 1: Experimental
3 HPP patients are to be enrolled in Cohort 1 and receive a single IV dose and three weekly SC doses of ENB-0040. End of Study for patients in Cohort 1 is at 8 weeks.
Biological: ENB-0040
The initial IV dose to be administered to patients was set at one-tenth the no adverse effect level (NOAEL) as determined by one month toxicology studies in animals in which ENB-0040 was administered as a single weekly IV dose. The SC doses to be administered are lower than the IV doses and are thought to be near or at the anticipated daily efficacious dose. Dosing will be as follows: Cohort 1: In Week 1, patients will receive an IV infusion of ENB-0040 at a dose of 3 mg/kg. In Weeks 2, 3 and 4, patients will receive weekly SC injections of ENB-0040 at a dose of 1 mg/kg SC.
Cohort 2: Experimental
Cohort 2 will begin when the safety and PK data for Cohort 1 weeks 1-4 has been reviewed by the DSMB. Cohort 2 will enroll 3 HPP patients and will receive a higher dose level than Cohort 1. Cohort 2 patients will have a single IV dose and three weekly SC doses of ENB-0040. End of Study for patients in Cohort 2 is at 8 weeks.
Biological: ENB-0040
Cohort 2: In Week 1, patients will receive an IV infusion of ENB-0040 at a dose of 7 mg/kg. In Weeks 2, 3 and 4, patients will receive weekly SC injections of ENB-0040 at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg SC.

Detailed Description:

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited form of rickets and osteomalacia caused by inactivating mutations in the gene encoding the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). The prevalence of the disease is thought to be about 1:100,000 although it is markedly higher in a small Canadian Mennonite population (Fraser 1957, Chodirker 1990). Inheritance can be autosomal recessive or dominant, and penetrance is variable resulting in a wide range of clinical expressivity. HPP differs from other forms of rickets and osteomalacia in that serum levels of calcium and phosphorus are generally normal or even elevated (Whyte 2002). Low circulating levels of alkaline phosphatase with elevated serum or urine levels of the TNSALP substrates inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and phosphoethanolamine (PEA) are the biochemical hallmarks of this inborn error of metabolism.

Disease severity in HPP is inversely related to the age at symptom presentation. The most severe cases occur in utero and almost invariably result in death, generally due to pulmonary compromise. Infants who present in the first six months of life have about 50% mortality. Children and adults have less severe disease but can have frequent fractures, bone pain, bowing of the long bones and muscle weakness, and morbidity is generally cumulative. Some patients cannot ambulate independently and end up wheelchair-bound.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 80 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

In order to qualify for participation, patients must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Patients must provide written informed consent, including privacy authorization, prior to participation.
  • Women of childbearing potential must sign the Women of Childbearing Potential Addendum and must be using an acceptable method of birth control. Women considered not of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile (total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, or tubal ligation) or post-menopausal, which is defined as a complete cessation of menstruation for at least one year after the age of 45 years. All women must have a serum pregnancy test conducted at Screening prior to enrollment and the results must be negative.
  • Be between 18 and 80 years of age at the time of consent
  • Patients must be medically stable in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Patients must be willing to comply with study procedures and the visit schedule.
  • Pre-established clinical diagnosis of HPP as indicated by:

    • a. Serum alkaline phosphatase at least 3 SD below the mean for age
    • b. Radiologic evidence of osteopenia or osteomalacia
    • c. Two or more HPP-related findings:

      • i. Plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate at least 2.5 SD above the mean (no vitamin B6 administered for at least 1 week prior to determination
      • ii. History of rickets
      • iii. History of premature loss of deciduous teeth
      • iv. Bone deformity consistent with osteomalacia or past history of rickets
      • v. History of any one of the following:

        • 1. Non-traumatic fracture
        • 2. Pseudofracture
        • 3. Non-healing fracture

Exclusion Criteria:

In order to qualify for participation, patients must not meet any of the following criteria:

  • Women who are pregnant or lactating.
  • History of sensitivity to any of the constituents of the study drug.
  • Low levels of serum calcium, magnesium or phosphate.
  • Serum 25(OH) vitamin D level below 9.2 ng/mL.
  • Elevated serum creatinine or parathyroid hormone level.
  • Known cause of hypophosphatasemia other than HPP.
  • Current or prior clinically significant cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal condition and/or other major disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes study participation.
  • Treatment with a bisphosphonate or parathyroid hormone (PTH) within 6 months prior to the start of ENB-0040 administration.
  • Participation in an interventional or investigational drug study within 30 days prior to study participation.
