J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Secondary analysis of the PaTH Forward trial

An erratum to this article was published (J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 17 Mar 2026 ↗)

Authors' conclusion

Through week 110 of the PaTH Forward trial, PTH replacement therapy with palopegteriparatide was associated with significant improvements in disease-specific symptoms and impacts on daily functioning and well-being, as well as general health-related QoL.

Study context

Population
Adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism
Comparison
Palopegteriparatide, change from baseline
Primary endpoint
PROs: disease-specific symptoms and impacts on functioning and well-being (Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scales (HPES)); general health-related QoL (SF-36v2)
Methodological detailsphase 2, 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, open-label extension through week 266, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) collected at baseline, weeks 4, 12, 26, 58 and annually to trial end; descriptive statistics and Mixed Models for Repeated Measures
  • Phase 2
  • 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period
  • Open-label extension through week 266
  • PROs collected at baseline, weeks 4, 12, 26, 58 and annually to trial end; descriptive statistics and Mixed Models for Repeated Measures

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

HPES symptoms and impacts on daily functioning and well-being · week 12, sustained through week 110
  • Significant improvements from baseline at week 12, sustained through week 110
  • Mean changes in PROs met thresholds for clinically meaningful within-patient improvement

Further findings

General health-related quality of life (QoL) (SF-36v2)

Significant improvements in SF-36v2 scores

PRO changes by demographics and patient characteristics

Results generally similar across demographics and patient characteristics
