Hypoparathyroidism is an endocrine disease caused by insufficient levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Individuals with chronic hypoparathyroidism managed with conventional therapy (active vitamin D and calcium) are at increased risk for renal complications and declines in renal function. In clinical trials, palopegteriparatide treatment enabled independence from conventional therapy (no active vitamin D and ≤600 mg/day elemental calcium) and maintained serum biochemistries within normal ranges. This analysis examines the impact of palopegteriparatide treatment on renal function in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism through week 104 of the PaTHway trial. PaTHway is a phase 3 trial with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 26-week period and ongoing 156-week open-label extension. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 ml/min/1.73 m2 was required for eligibility. In this post hoc analysis, changes in renal function were assessed using eGFR. Safety assessments included 24-hour urine calcium excretion and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). At week 104, 93% (76/82) of participants remained in the trial. Of those, 82% had normal albumin-adjusted serum calcium levels (2.07-2.64 mmol/l), 97% were independent from conventional therapy, and none required active vitamin D. Mean (SD) serum phosphate (1.1(0.2) mmol/l) and albumin-adjusted calcium × phosphate product (2.5(0.4) mmol2/l2) levels were also within normal ranges. At week 104, mean (SD) eGFR was 77.8 (14.8) ml/min/1.73 m2. Palopegteriparatide treatment resulted in a mean (SD) increase in eGFR of 8.9 (11.0) ml/min/1.73 m2 (P<.0001) from baseline to week 52, which was sustained through week 104 with a mean (SD) change from baseline of 9.0 (10.3) ml/min/1.73 m2 (P<.0001). By week 104, 61% and 44% 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), palopegteriparatide treatment resulted in a mean (SD) increase in eGFR of 13.8 (10.0) ml/min/1.73 m2 from baseline to week 104, and 78% and 57% had an increase in eGFR of ≥5 ml/min/1.73 m2 and ≥10 ml/min/1.73m2 respectively. Palopegteriparatide treatment normalized mean 24-hour urine calcium within 26 weeks and maintained levels below 6.2 mmol/day through week 104 (4.0(2.3) mmol/day). No cases of nephrolithiasis were reported with palopegteriparatide treatment. Most TEAEs were mild or moderate; no new safety signals were reported. This post hoc analysis of the phase 3 PaTHway trial through week 104 demonstrates the sustained renal safety of palopegteriparatide and suggests that PTH replacement therapy with palopegteriparatide and independence from conventional therapy may not only preserve but improve renal function in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism.
