Inozyme Pharma Reports 2024 Financial Results and Progress in ENPP1 Deficiency Program
Inozyme Pharma reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, and provided business updates on its ENPP1 Deficiency program. Reported cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $113.1 million at year-end, and with the implementation of cost-saving measures—including a 25% workforce reduction—it expects to extend its cash runway into the first quarter of 2026.
Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by 51.8% year-over-year, rising from $54.8 million in 2023 to $83.2 million in 2024, primarily due to clinical development and manufacturing costs. General and administrative (G&A) expenses remained steady at $20.8 million, while net loss widened to $102.0 million, or $1.62 per share, compared to $71.2 million, or $1.37 per share, in 2023.
Inozyme completed enrollment for its pivotal ENERGY 3 trial, enrolling 27 pediatric patients with ENPP1 Deficiency in a 2:1 randomized design, with topline data expected in the first quarter of 2026. ENPP1 Deficiency, a rare genetic disorder affecting an estimated 19,000 individuals worldwide, leads to severe complications in bone development and vascular function. If successful, the trial could pave the way for regulatory approval of INZ-701, potentially benefiting thousands of patients with limited treatment options.
Additionally, interim data from the ENERGY 1 trial and the Expanded Access Program showed improvements from baseline in multiple disease measures in six infants and young children treated with INZ-701 for up to 22 months. As part of its strategic focus, Inozyme will prioritize advancing INZ-701 toward potential approval for ENPP1 Deficiency while postponing future trials in ABCC6 Deficiency and calciphylaxis.
