New hope for rare bone disease: experimental drug aims to help patients walk better
NCT ID NCT06079281
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests an experimental drug called ALXN1850 in 124 adolescents and adults with hypophosphatasia, a rare genetic bone disease. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo by injection under the skin. The main goal is to see if the drug improves walking distance in 6 minutes, with other measures like sit-to-stand ability and pain. The study is active but no longer recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ALXN1850 (recombinant alkaline phosphatase)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for hypophosphatasia, improving mobility and reducing pain for people who have not used other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but results are not yet available. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects from the injection or the drug itself are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of HPP documented in the medical records * Must meet 1 of the following criteria: 1. Documented ALPL gene variant (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variant of unknown significance) from a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) or ISO 15189 certified laboratory (Section 8.7 ) 2. Plasma PLP above the upper limit of normal (ULN) during the Screening Period (central or local laboratory results allowed per local regulations) * Must meet 1 of the following criteria without a probably cause other than HPP: 1. Serum ALP activity below the age- and sex-adjusted normal range during the screening period as measured by the Central Laboratory 2. Two documented serum ALP activity results, at least 15 days apart, below the age- and sex-adjusted local laboratory normal range during the 24 months before the Day 1 Visit. Note: Local laboratories need to be CLIA or ISO 15189 certified, or have other local equivalent laboratory certification with Alexion's approval. * Two separate 6MWTs at below 85% of the predicted distance (for age, sex, weight, and height) during the Screening Period without a probable cause other than HPP Exclusion Criteria: * History or presence of cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrinological, hematological, neurological disorders, or any other disorders that are capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; constituting a risk when taking the study intervention; or interfering with the interpretation of data as determined by the Investigator * Diagnosis of primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism * Hypoparathyroidism, unless secondary to HPP * Any new fracture within 12 weeks before Day 1 (excluding pseudofractures) * Planned surgical intervention which may impact the results of study assessments (in the opinion of the Investigator) during the Randomized Evaluation Period * History of allergy or hypersensitivity to any ingredient contained in ALXN1850 or the placebo comparator (Table 9)
