Background: Hypoparathyroidism is an endocrine disease caused by insufficient levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and is associated with reduced quality of life and a high comorbidity burden. Conventional therapy for hypoparathyroidism (active vitamin D and elemental calcium) aims to alleviate hypocalcemia but does not address insufficient PTH and may increase the risk of renal complications. Palopegteriparatide is a prodrug of PTH(1-34), administered subcutaneously once daily, designed to provide active PTH within the physiological range for 24 hours/day. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration, European Commission, and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. This analysis evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of palopegteriparatide in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism through week 156 of the PaTHway trial. Methods: PaTHway is a phase 3 trial with a 26-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by an ongoing open-label extension period. Serum biochemistries were assessed at baseline and regular intervals. Renal function was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Safety assessments included 24-hour urine calcium and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Results: At week 156, 89% (73/82) of participants remained in the trial; of those, 96% were independent from conventional therapy (no active vitamin D and ≤600 mg/day elemental calcium) and 88% had normal albumin-adjusted serum calcium levels (8.3-10.6 mg/dL) with a mean (SD) of 8.9 (0.6) mg/dL. Mean (SD) serum phosphate (3.4 [0.6] mg/dL) and calcium x phosphate product (30.6 [5.4] mg2/dL2) levels remained within normal ranges through week 156. Mean (SD) eGFR at week 156 was 78.0 (14.5) mL/min/1.73 m2, reflecting a mean (SD) increase of 8.8 (11.9) mL/min/1.73 m2 from baseline (P<0.0001); 59% and 43% of participants had an increase in eGFR of ≥5 mL/min/1.73 m2 and ≥10 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Among participants with baseline eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n=23), the mean (SD) increase in eGFR was 14.0 (8.9) mL/min/1.73 m2 from baseline to week 156. Mean (SD) 24-hour urine calcium levels normalized with palopegteriparatide treatment, remaining below the upper limit of normal (≤250 mg/day) through week 156 (162.1 [117.8] mg/day). TEAEs were mostly grade 1 or 2, with no new safety signals identified. Conclusion: Through year 3 of the PaTHway trial, retention rate was high and palopegteriparatide demonstrated consistent longer-term safety and efficacy, which included the maintenance of serum and urine biochemistries within normal levels and sustained improvement in renal function.

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 Twenty-one sites across North America and Europe. Participants A total of 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) Multicomponent 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 and bone mineral density. Safety was assessed by 24-hour urine calcium and treatment-emergent adverse events. Results At week 52, 81% (63/78) met the multicomponent efficacy endpoint, 95% (74/78) achieved independence from conventional therapy, and none required active vitamin D. Patient-reported outcomes showed sustained improvements in quality of life, physical functioning, and well-being. Mean bone mineral density 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 treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate and none led to trial discontinuation during the OLE. Conclusion At week 52 of the PaTHway trial, TransCon PTH showed sustained efficacy, safety, and tolerability in adults with hypoparathyroidism.

ABSTRACT Conventional therapy for hypoparathyroidism consisting of active vitamin D and calcium aims to alleviate hypocalcemia but fails to restore normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) physiology. PTH replacement therapy is the ideal physiologic treatment for hypoparathyroidism. The double-blind, placebo-controlled, 26-week, phase 3 PaTHway trial assessed the efficacy and safety of PTH replacement therapy for hypoparathyroidism individuals with the investigational drug TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide). Participants (n = 84) were randomized 3:1 to once-daily TransCon PTH (initially 18 μg/d) or placebo, both co-administered with conventional therapy. The study drug and conventional therapy were titrated according to a dosing algorithm guided by serum calcium. The composite primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of participants at week 26 who achieved normal albumin-adjusted serum calcium levels (8.3–10.6 mg/dL), independence from conventional therapy (requiring no active vitamin D and ≤600 mg/d of calcium), and no increase in study drug over 4 weeks before week 26. Other outcomes of interest included health-related quality of life measured by the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), hypoparathyroidism-related symptoms, functioning, and well-being measured by the Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scale (HPES), and urinary calcium excretion. At week 26, 79% (48/61) of participants treated with TransCon PTH versus 5% (1/21) wiplacebo met the composite primary efficacy endpoint (p < 0.0001). TransCon PTH treatment demonstrated a significant improvement in all key secondary endpoint HPES domain scores (all p < 0.01) and the SF-36 Physical Functioning subscale score (p = 0.0347) compared with placebo. Additionally, 93% (57/61) of participants treated with TransCon PTH achieved independence from conventional therapy. TransCon PTH treatment normalized mean 24-hour urine calcium. Overall, 82% (50/61) treated with TransCon PTH and 100% (21/21) wiplacebo experienced adverse events; most were mild (46%) or moderate (46%). No study drug-related withdrawals occurred. In conclusion, TransCon PTH maintained normocalcemia while permitting independence from conventional therapy and was well-tolerated in individuals with hypoparathyroidism. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract TransCon PTH is an investigational once-daily prodrug providing sustained release of active PTH designed to maintain stable PTH levels in the physiological range for 24 hours/day. The PaTHway trial met all primary and key secondary endpoints with statistically significant differences from placebo. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild/moderate. Injection-site reactions and headaches were the most common treatment-related AEs.
