Sustained improvement in renal function with palopegteriparatide in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism: 2-year results from the phase 3 PaTHway-trial

J Bone Miner ResPublished Post hoc analysis of the PaTHway randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

These findings demonstrate sustained renal safety of palopegteriparatide and suggest that PTH replacement therapy with palopegteriparatide preserves and may improve renal function in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism after 104 wk of treatment.
