DS-1211b, a potent small-molecule inhibitor of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, is being developed for the treatment ectopic calcification diseases such as PXE. This study will assess DS-1211b (low-, middle-, and high-dose tablets) administered once daily for 12 weeks in individuals with PXE.
This study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) of DS-1211b, and pharmacokinetics (PK) in individuals with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). PXE is a rare disease that is associated with significant risks of visual impairments and comorbidity from peripheral and cardiovascular diseases, and adversely impacts the quality of life in afflicted individuals.
