• BMN 701 is a novel fusion protein of insulin-like growth factor 2 and acid alpha glucosidase (IGF2-GAA) for the treatment of Pompe disease, currently in Phase 1/2 clinical development
• BMN 111 (a modified C-natriuretic peptide for the treatment of achondroplasia) is currently in Phase 1 clinical development
• BMN 190 is a recombinant human tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (rhTPP1) is currently in Phase 1 for the treatment of late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN2), a form of Batten Disease
• BMN 270 (an AAV-factor VIII vector) is currently tested for the treatment of hemophilia A
• BMN 250 is a novel fusion of alpha-N-acetyglucosaminidase (NAGLU) with a peptide derived from insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) for the treatment of MPS IIIB
