Inozyme Pharma, Inc. (INZY)·Q3 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2024 was steady operationally with continued R&D execution and a sequential improvement in net loss vs Q2 ($24.6M vs $27.0M) and EPS (-$0.39 vs -$0.44), supported by lower R&D and G&A .
- Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $131.6M, with runway “into the fourth quarter of 2025,” unchanged from prior quarter guidance .
- The company highlighted positive calciphylaxis Phase 1 interim data (SEAPORT 1) showing PPi normalization by week 3 and plans for a 2025 registrational trial, subject to regulatory alignment and funding—key near-term catalysts alongside ENERGY 1 interim data for ENPP1 infants by year-end .
- Notably, guidance for ENERGY 3 topline moved from 2H 2025 to “early 2026,” indicating a timeline extension for the pediatric ENPP1 pivotal program; complete enrollment shifted from Q3 2024 to “end of 2024” .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Calciphylaxis: INZ-701 significantly increased PPi levels into the normal range by week 3 in ESKD patients on hemodialysis; safety profile was favorable—foundational for a registrational trial in 2025, pending alignment and funding .
- Liquidity and runway: $131.6M cash/equivalents; runway “into Q4 2025” maintained, supporting continued development across programs .
- Management focus and program breadth: “Our focus remains firmly on advancing INZ-701 across each of our clinical programs,” emphasizing growing clinical evidence across multiple indications of high unmet need .
What Went Wrong
- Timeline slippage: ENERGY 3 topline moved to early 2026 (from 2H 2025); enrollment completion pushed from Q3 2024 to end of 2024—extends time to pivotal readout and potential value inflection point .
- YoY P&L: Net loss widened to $24.6M (vs $16.6M), driven by higher R&D ($19.9M vs $13.3M) as clinical activity expanded .
- Funding dependency: Initiation of registrational trials in calciphylaxis and ABCC6 in 2025 explicitly conditioned on regulatory alignment and sufficient funding—an ongoing overhang for timelines .

- “There is an urgent unmet need… These new data underscore the significant and multifaceted impact of ENPP1 and ABCC6 Deficiencies…” — Kurt Gunter, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, on ASBMR data .

- Actual EPS was -$0.39 for Q3 2024 .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Near-term catalysts: ENERGY 1 interim data (infants ENPP1) by year-end and calciphylaxis registrational trial plans for 2025—potential stock reaction drivers given first clinical signals in ESKD .
- Program breadth de-risks single-asset risk profile (ENPP1, ABCC6, calciphylaxis) but timelines are extended for pediatric ENPP1 (ENERGY 3 topline now early 2026) .
- Operating discipline: sequential improvement in net loss and EPS vs Q2 on lower R&D and G&A; expect variability as pivotal programs ramp .
- Liquidity runway into Q4 2025 supports planned clinical execution; pivotal initiations remain subject to alignment and funding—monitor capital strategy and potential partnerships .
- Calciphylaxis PPi data are compelling mechanistically; watch for regulatory feedback and study design specifics to assess path to approval risk .
- ENPP1/ABCC6 data dissemination at ASBMR and Fast Track status bolster scientific/regulatory narrative; however, pediatric timelines require patience and careful expectation management .
- With consensus estimates unavailable, trading setups should anchor on clinical catalysts and runway rather than near-term earnings variability; the narrative that moves the stock is clinical progress and regulatory clarity .
