Efficacy and Safety of Parathyroid Hormone Replacement With TransCon Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) in Hypoparathyroidism: 26-Week Results From the Phase 3 PaTHway Trial

J Bone Miner ResPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

In conclusion, TransCon PTH maintained normocalcemia while permitting independence from conventional therapy and was well-tolerated in individuals with hypoparathyroidism.

Study context

Population
Individuals with hypoparathyroidism on conventional therapy (active vitamin D and calcium)randomized 3:1
Participants
84 individuals
Comparison
Once-daily TransCon PTH vs placebo, both with conventional therapy
Primary endpoint
Composite:
  • Normal albumin-adjusted serum calcium (8.3-10.6 mg/dL)
  • Independence from conventional therapy (no active vitamin D and ≤600 mg/d calcium)
  • No increase in study drug over 4 weeks before week 26
Follow-up
Week 26
Methodological detailsdouble-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3, Study drug and conventional therapy titrated by a serum calcium-guided dosing algorithm
  • Double-blind
  • Placebo-controlled
  • Phase 3
  • Study drug and conventional therapy titrated by a serum calcium-guided dosing algorithm

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Key secondary endpoints: Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scale (HPES) domain scores and SF-36 Physical Functioning
all p < 0.01
Key secondary endpoints: HPES domain scores and SF-36 Physical Functioning · significant improvement

  • Key secondary endpoints: HPES domain scores and SF-36 Physical Functioning: significant improvement in all key secondary HPES domain scores
  • Independence from conventional therapy: 57/61
