A Study to Test the Effects and Safety of Palopegteriparatide in Adolescents With Long-term Hypoparathyroidism

Recruiting now · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Hypoparathyroidism

In brief

This trial will enroll adolescents between ages of ≥12 and \<18 years with clinically diagnosed hypoparathyroidism . The purpose of the study is to see how well treatment with once-daily palopegteriparatide works and how safe it is. At least 12 participants will receive palopegteriparatide for 234 weeks. This trial will be conducted in Europe.

You may not qualify if…

1. Impaired responsiveness to PTH which is characterized as PTH-resistance, with elevated PTH levels in the setting of hypocalcemia
2. Any disease that might affect calcium metabolism or calcium-phosphate homeostasis or PTH levels other than hypoparathyroidism, such as active hyperthyroidism
3. Use of loop diuretics, phosphate binders (other than calcium supplements), digoxin, lithium, methotrexate, biotin >30 µg/day, or systemic corticosteroids (other than as replacement therapy). Short course use of steroids (≤2 weeks/year) equivalent to prednisone ≤60 mg/day is permitted
4. Use of thiazide diuretic
5. Use of PTH-like drugs
6. Use of other drugs known to influence calcium and bone metabolism, such as calcitonin, fluoride tablets (>0.5 mg/day), strontium, or cinacalcet hydrochloride, within 12 weeks prior to Screening
7. Use of osteoporosis therapies known to influence calcium and bone metabolism, i.e., bisphosphonate (oral or intravenous [IV]), denosumab, raloxifene, or romosozumab therapies within 2 years prior to Screening
8. Non-hypocalcemic seizure disorder with occurrence of a seizure within 26 weeks prior to Screening
9. Increased risk for osteosarcoma
10. Female participants who are pregnant, intend to become pregnant, or are lactating
