Early U.S. Real-World Treatment Patterns and Outcomes in Palopegteriparatide Treatment for Patients With Hypoparathyroidism

Endocr PractPublished Real-world observational study

Authors' conclusion

This real-world analysis of palopegteriparatide treatment of hypoparathyroidism outside of a clinical trial setting reaffirms its efficacy and safety profile and provides insights into outcomes associated with different treatment transition practices.

Study context

Population
Adults with hypoparathyroidism enrolled in the U.S. expanded access program as of October 2024 who provided consent; 95.1% previously treated with short-lived parathyroid hormone (PTH) therapy135 enrolled
Participants
123 adults
Exposure
Direct switch vs Nondirect switch
  • Direct switchn = 62
Outcome
Independence from conventional therapy (no calcitriol and ≤600 mg/day elemental calcium)
Follow-up
Up to 12 months
Methodological detailsexpanded access program analysis, U.S. expanded access program, up to 12 months of treatment
  • Expanded access program analysis
  • U.S. expanded access program
  • Up to 12 months of treatment

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Proportion achieving independence from conventional therapy increased over 12 months with palopegteriparatide
  • Mean serum calcium remained within reference range (8.3-10.6 mg/dL)

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Palopegteriparatide dose, direct vs nondirect switch

No clinically meaningful difference (>3 μg) in dose between direct and nondirect switch, with similar trend over time

Safety

Adverse events · up to 12 months
