Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone (1-84) in Adults With Chronic Hypoparathyroidism.

Chronic hypoparathyroidism is conventionally treated with oral calcium and active vitamin D to reach and maintain targeted serum calcium and phosphorus levels, but some patients remain inadequately controlled. To assess long-term safety and efficacy of recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH(1-84)) treatment. This was an open-label extension study at 12 US centers. Adults (n = 49) with chronic hypoparathyroidism were included. The intervention was rhPTH(1-84) for 6 years. The main outcome measures were safety, biochemical measures, oral supplement doses, bone indices. Thirty-eight patients (77.6%) completed the study. Throughout 72 months, mean albumin-adjusted serum calcium was within 2.00 to 2.25 mmol/L (8.0-9.0 mg/dL). At baseline, 65% of patients with measurements (n = 24/37) were hypercalciuric; of these, 54% (n = 13/24) were normocalciuric at month 72. Mean serum phosphorus declined from 1.6 ± 0.19 mmol/L at baseline (n = 49) to 1.3 ± 0.20 mmol/L at month 72 (n = 36). Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate was stable. rhPTH(1-84)-related adverse events were reported in 51.0% of patients (n = 25/49); all but 1 event were mild/moderate in severity. Mean oral calcium supplementation reduced by 45% ± 113.6% and calcitriol by 74% ± 39.3%. Bone turnover markers declined by month 32 to a plateau above pretreatment values; only aminoterminal propeptide of type 1 collagen remained outside the reference range. Mean bone mineral density 6 years of rhPTH(1-84) treatment was associated with sustained improvements in biochemical parameters, a reduction in the percentage of patients with hypercalciuria, stable renal function, and decreased supplement requirements. rhPTH(1-84) was well tolerated; no new safety signals were identified.
