Safety and Efficacy of Oral Human Parathyroid Hormone (1-34) in Hypoparathyroidism: An Open-Label Study.

ABSTRACT: The standard treatment of primary hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) with oral calcium supplementation and calcitriol (or an analog), intended to control hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia and avoid hypercalciuria, remains challenging for both patients and clinicians. In 2015, human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) (1-84) administered as a daily subcutaneous injection was approved as an adjunctive treatment in patients who cannot be well controlled on the standard treatments alone. This open-label study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of an oral hPTH(1-34) formulation as an adjunct to standard treatment in adult subjects with hypoparathyroidism. Oral hPTH(1-34) tablets (0.75 mg human hPTH(1-34) acetate) were administered four times daily for 16 consecutive weeks, and changes in calcium supplementation and alfacalcidol use, albumin-adjusted serum calcium (ACa), serum phosphate, urinary calcium excretion, and quality of life throughout the study were monitored. Of the 19 enrolled subjects, 15 completed the trial per protocol. A median 42% reduction from baseline in exogenous calcium dose was recorded (p = .001), whereas median serum ACa levels remained above the lower target ACa levels for hypoPT patients (>7.5 mg/dL) throughout the study. Median serum phosphate levels rapidly decreased (23%, p = .0003) 2 hours after the first dose and were maintained within the normal range for the duration of the study. A notable, but not statistically significant, median decrease (21%, p = .07) in 24-hour urine calcium excretion was observed between the first and last treatment days. Only four possible drug-related, non-serious adverse events were reported over the 16-week study, all by the same patient. A small but statistically significant increase from baseline quality of life (5%, p = .03) was reported by the end of the treatment period. Oral hPTH(1-34) treatment was generally safe and well tolerated and allowed for a reduction in exogenous calcium supplementation, while maintaining normocalcemia in adult patients with hypoparathyroidism. © 2021 The Authors.

Project description:Abstract RACE is an open-label study that assessed the long-term safety and efficacy of recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-84 (rhPTH[1-84]) for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01297309). Patients initially received 25 or 50 µg/day of rhPTH(1-84) subcutaneously, once daily, with stepwise dose adjustments of 25 µg (up or down) to a maximum of 100 µg/day. rhPTH(1-84) could be titrated and oral calcium (Ca) and calcitriol doses adjusted at any time during the study to maintain albumin-corrected serum Ca levels in the target range of 8.0-9.0 mg/dL. A composite efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved at least a 50% reduction from baseline (BL) in oral Ca dose (or Ca ≤500 mg/day) and at least a 50% reduction from BL in calcitriol dose (or calcitriol ≤0.25 µg/day), while normalizing or maintaining albumin-corrected serum Ca compared with BL value and not exceeding the upper limit of normal for the central laboratory. Here, we present 6-year safety and efficacy data with descriptive summary statistics (mean ± SD). The study cohort consisted of 49 patients enrolled at 12 US centers (mean age, 48.1±9.78 years; 81.6% female); data from 34 patients (69.4%) who completed 72 months (M72) of treatment with rhPTH(1-84) as of July 17, 2018 are presented here. Oral Ca and calcitriol doses were reduced by 40.4% and 72.2% at M72, respectively, and albumin-corrected serum Ca levels were maintained within the target range (BL, 8.4±0.70 mg/dL; M72, 8.4±0.68 mg/dL). At M72, 22 of 34 patients (64.7%) achieved the composite efficacy endpoint. Urinary Ca excretion declined from above-normal at BL to within the normal range (BL, 356.7±200.37 mg/24 h; M72, 213.2±128.82 mg/24 h). Mean serum creatinine levels remained stable (BL, 1.0±0.21 mg/dL; M72, 0.9±0.21 mg/dL), as did estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; BL, 77.7±17.67 mL/min/1.73 m2; M72, 79.4±18.39 mL/min/1.73 m2). Serum phosphorus levels declined from above-normal at BL to within normal range (BL, 4.8±0.58 mg/dL; M72, 4.0±0.62 mg/dL); calcium-phosphorus product levels also declined (BL, 42.1±6.35 mg2/dL2; M72, 33.7±5.01 mg2/dL2). Treatment-emergent adverse events and treatment-emergent serious adverse events were reported in 98.0% and 26.5% of patients, respectively; no new safety concerns were identified. Continuous use of rhPTH(1-84) over 6 years resulted in a favorable safety profile, was effective, and improved key measurements of mineral homeostasis, notably normalization of urinary calcium.

Project description:Purpose:Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) is approved in Japan, the United States (US), and Europe for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) refractory to standard therapies. This Phase 1b open-label study focused on the pharmacokinetic (PK) and toxicity profiles of FTD/TPI in Chinese patients with solid tumors. Methods:Patients with definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced/metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard treatments were enrolled. FTD/TPI (35 mg/m2) was administered orally twice daily for five consecutive days, followed by a 2-day recovery. Treatment was repeated for five consecutive days, followed by a 16-day recovery. The primary objective was to assess PK characteristics of FTD, 5-trifluoromethyl-2,4 (1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (FTY; an inactive form of FTD), and TPI, calculated from plasma concentrations. Additionally, these PK values were compared with those from similar Phase 1 studies in patients from Japan and the US, using Tukey-Kramer's honestly significant difference (HSD) multiple comparison tests. Safety and preliminary efficacy of FTD/TPI were assessed. Results:Fifteen patients (12 males, three females) were enrolled, most with CRC (87%). Geometric mean analysis showed that maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of FTD increased after multiple administration (from day 1 [3019.5 ng/mL] to day 12 [3693.1 ng/mL]), and the exposure (AUC0-t) increased 2.4-fold (day 1:7796.6 ng/mL•h; day 12:18,181.3 ng/mL•h). There was no meaningful change in the exposure to FTY and TPI throughout the study. HSD tests showed comparable PK for FTD, FTY, and TPI between Chinese and Japanese patients, and comparable exposure to FTD between Chinese and US patients. Eight patients (53.3%) experienced Grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events, most frequently anemia and fatigue (13.3%, two events each). Median progression-free survival was 1.9 months. Conclusion:FTD/TPI had an acceptable safety and efficacy profile and PK characteristics were comparable between Chinese, Japanese, and US patients, suggesting that this treatment may be suitable for Chinese patients with refractory mCRC. Trial Registration:This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02261532.
