Abstract
CONTEXT: Conventional therapy for hypoparathyroidism aims to alleviate symptoms of hypocalcemia but does not address insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
OBJECTIVE: Assess the long-term efficacy and safety of TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) for hypoparathyroidism.
DESIGN: Phase 3 trial with a 26-week double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by a 156-week open-label extension (OLE).
SETTING: 21 sites across North America and Europe.
PARTICIPANTS: 82 adults with hypoparathyroidism were randomized and received study drug and 78 completed week 52.
INTERVENTION(S): All OLE participants received TransCon PTH administered once daily.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Multi-component efficacy endpoint: proportion of participants at week 52 who achieved normal serum calcium (8.3-10.6 mg/dL) and independence from conventional therapy (≤600 mg/day of elemental calcium and no active vitamin D). Other efficacy endpoints included patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and bone mineral density (BMD). Safety was assessed by 24-hour urine calcium and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
RESULTS: At week 52, 81% (63/78) met the multi-component efficacy endpoint, 95% (74/78) achieved independence from conventional therapy, and none required active vitamin D. PROs showed sustained improvements in quality of life, physical functioning, and well-being. Mean BMD Z-scores decreased toward age- and sex-matched norms from baseline to week 52. Mean (SD) 24-hour urine calcium excretion decreased from 376 (168) mg/day at baseline to 195 (114) mg/day at week 52. Most TEAEs were mild or moderate and none led to trial discontinuation during the OLE.
CONCLUSIONS: At week 52 of the PaTHway trial, TransCon PTH showed sustained efficacy, safety, and tolerability in adults with hypoparathyroidism.
