Efficacy and Safety of TransCon PTH in Adults With Hypoparathyroidism: 52-Week Results From the Phase 3 PaTHway Trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CONTEXT: Conventional therapy for hypoparathyroidism aims to alleviate symptoms of hypocalcemia but does not address insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. OBJECTIVE: Assess the long-term efficacy and safety of TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) for hypoparathyroidism. DESIGN: Phase 3 trial with a 26-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by a 156-week, open-label extension (OLE). SETTING: Twenty-one sites across North America and Europe. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 82 adults with hypoparathyroidism were randomized and received study drug and 78 completed week 52. INTERVENTION(S): All OLE participants received TransCon PTH administered once daily. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Multicomponent efficacy endpoint: proportion of participants at week 52 who achieved normal serum calcium (8.3-10.6 mg/dL) and independence from conventional therapy (≤600 mg/day of elemental calcium and no active vitamin D). Other efficacy endpoints included patient-reported outcomes and bone mineral density. Safety was assessed by 24-hour urine calcium and treatment-emergent adverse events. RESULTS: At week 52, 81% (63/78) met the multicomponent efficacy endpoint, 95% (74/78) achieved independence from conventional therapy, and none required active vitamin D. Patient-reported outcomes showed sustained improvements in quality of life, physical functioning, and well-being. Mean bone mineral density Z-scores decreased toward age- and sex-matched norms from baseline to week 52. Mean (SD) 24-hour urine calcium excretion decreased from 376 (168) mg/day at baseline to 195 (114) mg/day at week 52. Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate and none led to trial discontinuation during the OLE. CONCLUSION: At week 52 of the PaTHway trial, TransCon PTH showed sustained efficacy, safety, and tolerability in adults with hypoparathyroidism.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
