Introduction: Palopegteriparatide is a prodrug of PTH(1-34), administered once daily, designed to provide active PTH within the physiological range for 24 hours/day. It is approved in the US, EU, UK and several other countries.

Methods: This analysis evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of palopegteriparatide in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism through week 156 of PaTHway, a phase 3 trial with a 26-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, followed by an open-label extension.

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 (2.07-2.64 mmol/l) with mean (SD) of (2.2 (0.2) mmol/l). Mean (SD) serum phosphate (1.1 (0.2) mmol/l) and calcium x phosphate product (2.5 (0.4) mmol2/l2) remained within normal ranges. Mean (SD) eGFR 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. 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.
