In Europe, rhPTH(1-84) is an approved adjunctive treatment for adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism that cannot be adequately controlled with conventional therapy. Here we present data from the longest rhPTH(1-84)-treated study cohort of patients with hypoparathyroidism. In a single-centre, single-arm, phase 4 study (NCT02910466), long-term rhPTH(1-84) treatment (25, 50, 75, or 100 μg/day subcutaneously) was evaluated in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism who mainta...

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder characterised by hypocalcaemia and insufficient or undetectable parathyroid hormone (PTH). Recombinant human PTH, rhPTH(1-84), has been approved in the United States and Europe as an adjunctive treatment for adult patients with hypoparathyroidism. When hypoparathyroidism is established, long-term administration of rhPTH(1-84) is a treatment option. Thus, long-term safety and efficacy data for rhPTH(1-84) are needed. To this end, we evaluat...
