Inclusion criteria

  • Participants or their legal representative(s) provided written informed consent prior to undergoing any study-related procedures.
  • Participants were ≥18 years of age at Screening.
  • Participant had pediatric-onset hypophosphatasia (HPP), defined as onset of first sign(s)/symptom (s) of HPP prior to 18 years of age.
  • Participants had a documented diagnosis of HPP as indicated by a documented history of HPP-related skeletal abnormalities and 1 or more of the following:
  • Documented tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene mutation(s) from a certified laboratory.
  • Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level below the age-adjusted normal range AND plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) above the upper limit of normal at Screening.
  • Participants had a plasma inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) level of ≥3.9 micromolar (µM) at Screening.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential had a negative pregnancy test at the time of enrollment.
  • Sexually active male and female participants of childbearing potential agreed to use a highly effective method of birth control during the study.
  • Female participants not of child-bearing potential due to sterilization (at least 6 weeks after surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy or at least 6 weeks after tubal ligation) confirmed by medical history, or menopause.
  • Participants were willing to comply with study procedures and the visit schedule.

Exclusion criteria

  • Investigational site personnel directly affiliated with this study and/or their immediate families. Immediate family was defined as a spouse, parent, child, or sibling, whether biological or legally adopted.
  • Employees of Alexion Pharmaceuticals.
  • Currently enrolled in a clinical study involving another study drug or non-approved use of a drug or device.
  • Participated, within the last 30 days, in a clinical study involving a study drug (other than the study drug used in this study).
  • Completed or withdrawn from this study or any other study investigating asfotase alfa in the previous 3 years.
  • Women who were pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D levels below 20 nanogram (ng) per milliliter (mL) at Screening.
  • Screening serum creatinine or parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels ≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
  • Any medical condition, serious concurrent illness and/or injury, recent orthopedic surgery, or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may have significantly interfered with study compliance or study endpoints.
  • Prior treatment with bisphosphonates within 2 years of study entry for any length of time or for more than 2 consecutive years at any prior timepoint.
  • Treatment with PTH, strontium, or sclerostin inhibitors within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug.
  • Unwilling or unable to comply with the use of a data collection device on which study participants directly recorded data.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change In Plasma PPi From Baseline To Pre-3rd Dose At Week 9

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 9

    Plasma PPi concentrations were determined using a specific enzyme-catalyzed reaction with a radiolabelled marker in a 3-step process. Baseline plasma PPi values were calculated by averaging pre-dose values from samples collected during the Run-in Period at -168, -156, -24, -12, and 0 hours before Baseline. Week 9 plasma PPi values were calculated using blood samples collected before administration of the 3rd dose. The analysis was a restricted maximum likelihood (REML)-based repeated measures mixed model with treatment, visit, sex, Baseline PPi, Baseline weight group (≥ median versus < median), and study drug lot assignment as factors, and an unstructured covariance structure for within-participant correlation.

    Per inclusion criteria, participants had to have had a Screening PPi concentration of ≥3.9 micromolar (μM). Three participants (1 in each group) had Screening PPi concentrations of ≥3.9 μM, but Baseline PPi values ranged between 3.5 to 3.8 μM.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change In Plasma PLP From Baseline To Pre-3rd Dose At Week 9

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 9

    Plasma PLP was quantified using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Baseline plasma PLP values were calculated by averaging the pre-dose PLP values from blood samples collected during the Run-in Period at -168, -156, -24, -12, and 0 hours before Baseline. Week 9 PLP values were calculated using blood samples collected before the administration of the 3rd dose. The analysis was a REML-based repeated measures mixed model with treatment, visit, sex, Baseline PPi, Baseline weight group (≥ median versus < median) and study drug lot assignment as factors, and an unstructured covariance structure for within-participant correlation.
