Hypoparathyroidism
This study is investigating the safety and efficacy of eneboparatide (AZP-3601) in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism (cHP). During the first 24 weeks of the trial, participants will be randomized to receive eneboparatide or placebo. Study treatment is blinded: patients and doctors will not know which group each patient has been randomized to. All patients will start with a fixed dose of study treatment (eneboparatide or placebo), administered subcutaneously with a pre-filled pen. Study treatment will be individually titrated. After completion of the first 24 weeks, patients will be treated in the open label extension part of the study for 132 weeks. During this phase, all patients (including patients that were in the placebo group) will receive eneboparatide.

Background: Parathyroid glands in the neck make a hormone that keeps blood calcium levels stable. Sometimes these glands are damaged or removed during neck surgery. This can lead to a condition called postsurgical hypoparathyroidism (PSH). People with PSH have low levels of calcium in their blood. Calcium and vitamin D pills can help them keep their blood calcium levels steady. But this can increase calcium in the urine and result in kidney problems. New treatments for PSH are needed. Objective: To test a drug (encaleret) in people with PSH. Eligibility: People aged 18 or older who have PSH. Design: Participants will be in the study for 6 months. They will have a screening visit and a treatment visit. Screening will take up to 2 days. Participants will have a physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and tests of their heart function. They will have an ultrasound of their kidneys; they will lie on a table for 15 to 30 minutes while a wand is moved over their back. Treatment will require participants to stay in the clinic for 7 days and 6 nights. They will take the study drug (encaleret) by mouth twice a day for 5 days. They will have a small, flexible tube inserted into a vein; this will remain in place during the visit. Blood samples will be taken through the tube 4 to 9 times each day. Participants urine will be collected. Participants will have follow-up blood tests 1 week after leaving the clinic. They will have 3 follow-up phone calls.
Post-Surgical Hypoparathyroidism
Options for treatment of severe, refractory hypocalcemia are limited for the thousands of patients in the United States who suffer from hypoparathyroidism. Parathyroid allotransplantation is an emerging treatment that provides hope for these individuals. Currently, this therapy has only been successfully provided by a few centers in the world. In the UAB PATH trial, we propose to become one of the few centers worldwide to successfully achieve parathyroid allotransplantation in transplant-naïve patients.
Hypoparathyroidism
During the first 26 weeks of the trial, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive TransCon PTH and one group will receive placebo. All subjects will start with study drug at a dose of 18 mcg/day and will be individually and progressively titrated to an optimal dose in dose increments of 3 mcg/day. TransCon PTH or placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled injection pen. Neither trial participants nor their doctors will know who has been assigned to each group. After the 26 weeks, participants will continue in the trial as part of a long-term extension study. During the extension, all participants will receive TransCon PTH, with the dose adjusted to their individual needs. This is a global trial that will be conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Italy, and Hungary.

This is a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multiple-ascending dose study in patients with hypoparathyroidism. The total duration of study medication treatment will be 13 weeks and includes a Fixed-Dose Treatment period and a Dose Titration Treatment period. The Fixed-Dose Treatment period consists of multiple daily dosing at a fixed dose level. Once patients have completed the Fixed-Dose Treatment period, patients will enter the Dose Titration Treatment period where PCO371 (or placebo), oral calcium and oral active vitamin D can each be titrated according to the patient's albumin-corrected serum calcium level.
Hypoparathyroidism
During the first four weeks of the trial, participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: three groups will receive fixed doses of TransCon PTH and one group will receive placebo. TransCon PTH or placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled injection pen. Neither trial participants nor their doctors will know who has been assigned to each group. After the four weeks, participants will continue in the trial as part of a long-term extension study. During the extension, all participants will receive TransCon PTH, with the dose adjusted to their individual needs. This is a global trial that will be conducted in, but not limited to, the United States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, and Norway.

This study is open to adults with hypoparathyroidism who complete the SHP634-101 study (PARALLAX Study). The purpose of this study is to see if rhPTH(1-84) is safe and effective in adults with hypoparathyroidism who previously participated in the SHP634-101 study. All participants enrolled in this study will receive rhPTH(1-84) once-daily for 52 weeks via an injection. Patients who complete the SHP634-101 study will have the option to screen for this extension study.
Hypoparathyroidism
Recombinant human parathyroid hormone, also known as if rhPTH(1-84), is a medicine to treat people with Hypothyroidism. The main aim of this study is to learn if rhPTH(1-84) can improve symptoms in adults with hypoparathyroidism. In this study, participants will receive 1 of 2 treatments: rhPTH(1-84) or a placebo. A placebo looks like the medicine being studied but does not have medicine in it. In this study, the placebo will be a standard treatment which is either active Vitamin D, or active Vitamin D with calcium. Active Vitamin D is a form of vitamin D that has a faster effect on the body. These treatments will be given as a daily injection just under the skin. Participants will not know which treatment they received, nor will their study doctors. This is to help make sure the results are more reliable. All participants will also take active vitamin D and calcium supplements during treatment. Participants will record their symptoms in a tool called the hypoparathyroidism symptom diary. This tool is used to assess symptoms and their impact and will give an overall score for each participant. The study doctors will also check for side effects from the study treatments. After treatment, researchers will check if there is any difference in the diary scores between the 2 treatment groups. A difference in score means there is a difference in symptoms and their impact. From this, researchers will learn if symptoms have improved for participants treated with rhPTH(1-84) compared with those treated with placebo.
Hypoparathyroidism
Chronic hypoparathyroidism is a life-long and irreversible disease for which the chronic administration of rhPTH(1-84) is a potential treatment option. The group of participants in the AAAE0544 core study has been taking rhPTH(1-84) for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism for up to 11 years. This study is designed to extend this experience and gain knowledge about how safe and effective rhPTH(1-84) is in participants with hypoparathyroidism over a long-term duration.
Chronic Hypoparathyroidism, Hypoparathyroidism
This study is being conducted to characterize the effects of twice daily administration of rhPTH(1-84) on the way the body handles rhPTH(1-84) as well as its actions and safety and tolerability over the course of 24 hours as compared with the current once daily dosing regimen of marketed rhPTH(1-84) (marketed in the United States as Natpara® and in the EU as Natpar).
Hypoparathyroidism
The main aim of this study is to find out the long-term safety and effectiveness profile of recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH\[1-84\]) treatment in participants with chronic hypoparathyroidism under conditions of routine clinical practice. Participants will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice determined by the treating doctors. Each participant will fill out a study questionnaire during a routine doctor visit.
Hypoparathyroidism
This study is a long-term, open-label study using NPSP558 for the treatment of adult patients with Hypoparathyroidism.
Hypoparathyroidism
Use of PTH (1-84) a recombinant hormone in 25 µg or 50 µg doses for the treatment of adults with hypoparathyroidism. The use of PTH (1-84) should result in a decrease of calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Hypoparathyroidism
This is an open-label study of PTH(1-84) treatment that seeks: 1. To determine the actions of PTH(1-84) to provide long term control of serum calcium and urinary calcium excretion with use of standard amounts of calcium and vitamin D supplementation. 2. To determine the extent to which PTH(1-84) improves quality-of-life on long-term basis. 3. To establish the safety of PTH(1-84) when administered for up to 12 years. 4. To attempt to quantify improvements in the typical signs/symptoms of hypoparathyroidism post PTH administration. There will be one visit conducted every six months in the study offices of the principal investigator, Dr. John Bilezikian. In addition to these visits, there will be, for new patients who have not used PTH (1-84) before, a Screening Visit four weeks prior to the baseline visit for the purpose of performing screening labs as well as a Pre-Baseline Local Quest Lab performed to ensure stability prior to Baseline.
Hypoparathyroidism
This study evaluated the effects of teriparatide (Forteo) on low calcium levels in the setting of thyroid surgery associated with low parathyroid hormone. The hypothesis was that teriparatide ( Forteo) would shorten the length of hospitalization post thyroidectomy in patients with symptomatic hypoparathyroidism.
Hypoparathyroidism Post-surgical
The purpose of this protocol is to add on additional exploratory studies to investigate changes in bone quality parameters with PTH(1-84) treatment of hypoparathyroidism. In addition to the biochemical hallmarks of hypoPT, it has been found that the microscopic structure of the bone, as well as the bone remodeling system, are markedly abnormal in this disease. How these abnormalities may be corrected with PTH(1-84) administration are not fully understood. The studies outlined in this add-on protocol are designed to shed light on the mechanistic ways that PTH(1-84) replacement may restore normal bone metabolism. These mechanistic studies are beyond the scope of the parent NPS study, which was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of PTH(1-84) in hypoPT treatment. Subjects who are participating in the NPS' REPLACE, RELAY, and RACE Studies and the HEXT Study at Columbia University will be invited to participate in this add-on protocol, which will involve a separate IRB-approved informed consent. Study procedures: 1. High Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HRpQCT; XtremeCT, Scanco): Done at the same visit as DXA. In the REPLACE study twice, in RELAY once (or not at all if done within the last 6 months), in RACE twice, and in HEXT three times. 2. Osteolineage: At Baseline/Randomization/Visit One and at 4, 8, 12, 24, and 52 weeks of treatment in the REPLACE, RELAY, or RACE Study, if applicable, or at baseline and each 6-months visit in the HEXT Study, blood test for circulating osteogenic cells (10 cc) will be performed 3. Sclerostin: At Baseline/Randomization/Visit One and at 4, 8, 12, 24, and 52 weeks of treatment in the REPLACE, RELAY, or RACE Study, if applicable, or at baseline and each 6-months visit in the HEXT Study, blood test for sclerostin (5cc) will be performed Funding Source - FDA OOPD
Hypoparathyroidism
This study will evaluate the safety, biological activity, and pharmacokinetics of PTH delivered by subcutaneous injection compared with an infusion pump. We anticipate pump delivery of PTH will be more physiologic because it mimics normal parathyroid gland secretion of PTH. We expect that pump delivery will simultaneously normalize blood and urine calcium, phosphorus and magnesium levels with minimal or no fluctuations throughout the day. Pump therapy will require lower PTH doses and should normalize markers of bone turnover. We expect the improved metabolic control during pump therapy will be especially evident in patients with more severe forms of hypoparathyrodism where there is an unmet need for improved therapy.
Hypoparathyroidism, Hypocalcemia
Use of PTH (1-84) a recombinant hormone in escalating doses for the treatment of adults with hypoparathyroidism. The use of PTH should result in a decrease of calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Hypoparathyroidism
Whereas much information is known about the properties of bone in primary hyperparathyroidism, a disorder of parathyroid hormone (PTH) excess, virtually nothing is known about the skeleton in hypoparathyroidism, a disorder in which PTH is absent. The purpose of this research project is to test the hypothesis that the skeleton in hypoparathyroidism is abnormal in its metabolic, densitometric, geometric, biomechanical and microarchitectural features. We will also test the hypothesis that the skeleton is dependent upon PTH for normal structure and function. Using non-invasive approaches as well as direct analysis of bone itself, the human hypoparathyroid skeleton will be thoroughly characterized. With each patient serving as his/her own control, we will determine how, to what extent, and in what ways the administration of PTH restores skeletal dynamics and structure to the hypoparathyroid skeleton. In this way, we will identify those structural and dynamic elements of the skeleton that are influenced by or dependent upon PTH. Methods to be utilized include dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, quantitative central and peripheral computed tomography, geometry and size quantification, histomorphometry by standard and microCT methods, finite element analysis, biochemical bone markers, quantitative back scattered electron imaging, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. This research project will extend our knowledge of the skeletal effects of PTH to its deficient range and thus complete our understanding of PTH action on bone gained by our many years of studying PTH overexpression in primary hyperparathyroidism. This investigation may also provide insight into the means by which PTH helps to restore the skeleton when it is used to treat osteoporosis.
Hypoparathyroidism
Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition associated with a low level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the blood. Hypoparathyroidism can be genetic and show up in childhood, or it can occur later in life. If it occurs later, it is usually due to damage or removal of the parathyroid glands during neck surgery. PTH helps control the amount of calcium in blood, kidneys, and bones. Low levels of calcium in the blood can cause a person to feel sick. It can cause cramping or tingling in the hands, feet, or other parts of the body. A very low blood calcium can cause fainting or seizures. The standard treatment for hypoparathyroidism is a form of vitamin D (calcitriol) and calcium supplements. Keeping normal blood levels of calcium can be difficult. Sometimes there is too much calcium in the urine even if the calcium levels in the blood are low. High calcium in the kidneys and urine can cause problems such as calcium deposits in the kidney (nephrocalcinosis) or kidney stones. High levels of calcium in the kidney may keep the kidney from functioning normally. Treatment with PTH will replace the hormone you are missing. Your disease may be better controlled on PTH than on calcium and calcitriol. Researchers at the NIH have conducted prior studies to establish synthetic human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (HPTH) as a treatment for hypoparathyroidism. Other studies have shown that PTH may improve calcium levels in blood and urine. The primary purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of synthetic human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (HPTH) replacement therapy on bone in adults and teenagers with hypoparathyroidism. The study takes 5 (Omega) years to complete and requires 12 inpatient visits to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. The first visit will help the study team decide whether you are eligible. This visit will last 2 to 3 days. After taking calcium and calcitriol for 1 - 7 months you will return to the NIH Clinical Center for the baseline visit. The baseline visit is the visit that you will start your PTH; you will also undergo a bone biopsy during the visit. The baseline visit may last 7 to 10 days. You will then take PTH twice a day for 5 years. You will be asked to return to the NIH clinical center every 6 months for 10 follow-up visits. During one of the follow-up visits, you will have a second bone biopsy taken from the other hip. That second biopsy will be done after 1 year, 2 years, or 4 years of taking PTH; the researchers will assign the timing of the second biopsy randomly. You will be asked to go to your local laboratory for blood and urine tests between each follow up visit. At first the blood tests will occur at least once a week. Later, you will need to go to your local laboratory for blood tests at least once a month and urine tests once every 3 months. The local laboratory visits and follow-up visits at the NIH Clinical Center will help the study team determine whether the HPTH treatment is controlling your hypoparathyroidism.
Hypoparathyroidism, DiGeorge Syndrome
This study has been important in establishing synthetic human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (PTH) as a beneficial treatment for hypoparathyroidism, superior to conventional therapy with calcium and calcitriol. Providing synthetic human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (PTH) to patients who are unresponsive to conventional therapy has enabled severe cases of hypoparathyroidism to be managed effectively with the investigational drug, PTH. The primary goals of this study are to (1) provide long-term PTH therapy to patients who do not respond to conventional therapy; (2) understand the long-term effect of therapeutic PTH replacement on kidney function and bone mineral density; (3) study and track linear growth and bone accrual in children with hypoparathyroidism. (4) determine if subjects reach a normal level of peak bone mass and if the timing of this is comparable to normal age-matched healthy controls.

The purpose of this study is to compare how rhPTH(1-84) affects the body between healthy adults of Japanese descent and matched, healthy Caucasian adults.
Hypoparathyroidism
This study will explore the regulation of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23). It is a hormone recently identified as a regulator of the blood levels of phosphorus and vitamin D, both of which are essential for overall health and especially important for bone health. The parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates phosphorus and calcium, but people with hypoparathyroidism or pseudohypoparathyroidism do not have sufficient PTH action. There are genetic diseases that influence FGF-23, causing abnormal metabolism of phosphorus and vitamin D, thus affecting the bones. Also, there are rare tumors that may cause overproduction of FGF-23 causing debilitating bone disease. Patients ages 18 and older who have low PTH levels, or are resistant to PTH action, and take calcitriol and calcium supplements, who are not pregnant, and who do not have kidney disorders may be eligible for this study. During the 4-day study, patients will be provided with a controlled diet that has a lower than usual phosphorus content. On day 1, patients will be admitted to the NIH Clinic Center and undergo blood and urine tests to measure calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and FGF-23. They will continue with their regular medicine for hypoparathyroidism. On that day and throughout the study, patients will fast from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. the following day. On day 2, patients will continue fasting until 4:00 p.m. A tube will be placed in the vein of each arm: one for drawing blood and the other for infusing calcium. Just one intravenous (IV) line will be used on the other days. Patients will receive calcium chloride for 8 hours, at a dose carefully monitored by a machine. The purpose is to bring the blood calcium level to the high normal range or just above. Blood and urine samples will be collected periodically, to check for effects of calcium chloride on FGF-23 and PTH. On days 3 and 4, patients will not take calcitriol and calcium but will receive injections of PTH, under the skin, two times each day. On day 3, blood and urine samples will be again be collected for analysis. On day 4, patients will receive one dose of calcitriol by IV. The total amount of blood drawn during this study will be about 5 ounces. ...
