Standard of care (SoC), active vitamin D and calcium, raises sCa and sP and increases burden of illness on HP patients by worsening hypercalciuria and the CaxP product. Parathyroid hormone (PTH)(1–84)(t1/2 ~2–3 hrs) is approved and can raise sCa and allow partial withdrawal of SoC, but does not sufficiently control urine calcium or symptoma...
