Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 10, 2025, the Company announced positive interim data from its ENERGY 1 trial and Expanded Access Program (“EAP”) evaluating INZ-701 in infants and young children with ENPP1 Deficiency, completion of enrollment in the Company’s ENERGY 3 pivotal trial in pediatric patients with ENPP1 Deficiency and regulatory guidance for the Company’s planned ASPIRE pivotal trial in children with ABCC6 Deficiency.

ENERGY 1 Trial and Expanded Access Program

Interim data from the ENERGY 1 trial (three infants) and the EAP (two infants and one child - 2.5 years old) evaluated patients with generalized arterial calcification of infancy (“GACI”), a severe manifestation of ENPP1 Deficiency. Patients were treated with INZ-701 for periods of three weeks to 22 months. Key results include:

• Improved Survival: 80% of infants treated with INZ-701 survived beyond their first year, compared to a historical survival rate of approximately 50%.

• Reduction in Arterial Calcifications: Substantial reductions or stabilization of arterial calcifications were observed in all surviving patients, including complete resolution in some instances. There was no evidence of progression of arterial calcification in any patient.

• Improved Heart Function: Stabilization or improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction was noted in all surviving patients.

• Reduced Risk of Rickets: No radiographic evidence of rickets was observed in patients evaluated beyond one year of age and at-risk of rickets development (n=3), supported by stabilization or increases in serum phosphate levels.

• Favorable Safety Profile: INZ-701 was well-tolerated, with no serious treatment-related adverse events in infants and young children. Observed treatment-related events were limited to mild injection site reactions. Across studies to-date, low, often transient, anti-drug antibody (“ADA”) levels were noted in some children and adults, with no impact on pharmacokinetics (“PK”) or pharmacodynamics (“PD”). In the ENERGY 1 trial and EAP, higher ADA levels in some infants significantly

affected PK and PD. In infants with high ADA levels, data collected pre- and post-dosing demonstrated substantial transient increases in PPi and drug exposure following INZ-701 administration, consistent with the clinical effects observed. ADAs were not associated with adverse events in any patient.

Enrollment Complete in ENERGY 3 Pivotal Trial

The Company today announced completion of enrollment in its ENERGY 3 pivotal trial of INZ-701 in patients with ENPP1 Deficiency aged >1 to <13 years. Based on recommendations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the primary endpoint of plasma PPi should be supported by consistent trends in appropriate clinical endpoints, such as radiographic global impression of change (“RGI-C”), a measure for progression or improvement of rickets. As per agreement with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), plasma PPi and RGI-C are co-primary endpoints, with a relaxed p-value of <0.2 for RGI-C.

With 25 patients enrolled, the trial’s 2:1 randomized design provides >90% power to detect meaningful differences in RGI-C between treatment and control groups. Strong patient interest and scheduled screenings may result in the enrollment of additional participants in January 2025. The Company anticipates completing the one-year dosing period for all patients by January 2026, with topline data expected in early 2026.

Regulatory Progress for Planned ASPIRE Pivotal Trial in Children with ABCC6 Deficiency

The Company is advancing the development of INZ-701 in ABCC6 Deficiency. In April 2024, the Company reported topline data from an open-label, dose-escalation study in adults, along with findings from a natural history study documenting the significant disease burden in patients with the early-onset form of the disease, known as GACI Type 2 (GACI-2). The adult study demonstrated positive improvements in vascular and retinal pathology after 48 weeks of treatment with INZ-701, as well as normalization of PPi levels at the highest dose tested, supporting further development in additional age groups. The natural history study revealed a high disease burden characterized by childhood strokes, arteriopathy, cardiovascular complications, and early mortality. Further research has identified a substantial pediatric population with ABCC6 Deficiency, underscoring the significant unmet medical need in this group.

The natural history study data, supplemented by literature reports, has informed the design of the Company’s planned randomized, controlled ASPIRE trial of INZ-701 in children with ABCC6 Deficiency. The proposed primary endpoint, comprising major adverse clinical events over a two-year treatment period, has been reviewed and received preliminary support from U.S. and EU regulators. The trial is expected to enroll approximately 70 patients from infancy up to <18 years old with biallelic or monoallelic ABCC6 Deficiency. The Company is currently refining the trial design to harmonize feedback from the FDA and EMA.

The Company plans to continue regulatory engagement over the coming months to finalize the trial protocol. Pending ongoing regulatory review and the availability of financial resources, the Company aims to initiate the ASPIRE trial in early 2026.
