1. Males and females aged =18 years
2. Subjects with postsurgical chronic HP or auto-immune, genetic, or idiopathic HP for at least 26 weeks. Diagnosis of HP is established based on hypocalcemia in the setting of inappropriately low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
3. On a stable dose* for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening of:
- =0.25 µg BID of calcitriol (active vitamin D) or =0.5 µg BID or =1.0 µg daily of alfacalcidol (active vitamin D) and
- =400 mg BID calcium citrate or carbonate
If subject has a history of hypercalcemia on such doses, subject may be taking <0.25 µg BID of calcitriol, <0.5 µg BID or < 1.0 µg daily of alfacalcidol, or <400 mg BID of calcium citrate or carbonate, with approval of Medical Monitor/Medical Expert
*Does not preclude occasional (<3/week) rescue doses of active vitamin D and/or calcium for symptomatic hypocalcemia
4. Optimization of supplements prior to randomization to achieve the target levels of:
- 25(OH) vitamin D levels of 30-70 ng/mL (75-175 pmol/mL) and
- Magnesium level within the normal range* and
- Albumin-adjusted or ionized serum calcium (sCa) level in the lower half of the normal range
*If subject has a history of inability to be successfully managed within the normal range for magnesium level, a level slightly below the normal range is acceptable with approval of the Medical Monitor/Medical Expert
5. BMI 17-40 kg/m2 at Visit 1
6. If =25 years of age, radiological evidence of epiphyseal closure based on x-ray of non-dominant wrist and hand
7. eGFR >30 mL/min/1.73m2 during Screening
8. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) within normal laboratory limits within the 12 weeks prior to Visit 1; if on suppressive therapy for thyroid cancer, TSH level must be =0.2 µIU/mL
9. If treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, the dose must be stable for at least 12 weeks prior to Visit 1
10. Able to perform daily subcutaneous self-injections of study drug (or have a designee perform injection) via a pre-filled injection pen
11. Written, signed, informed consent of the subject
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 30
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 10
1. Known activating mutation in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) gene
2. Impaired responsiveness to PTH (pseudohypoparathyroidism) which is characterized as PTH-resistance, with elevated PTH levels in the setting of hypocalcemia
3. Any disease that might affect calcium metabolism or calcium-phosphate homeostasis or PTH levels other than HP, such as active hyperthyroidism; Paget’s disease; hypomagnesemia; type 1 diabetes mellitus or poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus; severe and chronic cardiac, liver, or renal disease; Cushing syndrome; rheumatoid arthritis; multiple myeloma; active pancreatitis; malnutrition; rickets; recent prolonged immobility; active malignancy (other than low-risk well differentiated thyroid cancer or basal cell skin cancer); parathyroid carcinoma within 5 years prior to Screening;
acromegaly; multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 2
4. Use of loop diuretics, phosphate binders (other than calcium carbonate/calcium citrate), digoxin, lithium, methotrexate, or systemic corticosteroids (other than replacement therapy)
5. Use of thiazide diuretic within 4 weeks prior to the Screening 24-hour urine collection or the first dose adjustment of SOC during Screening
6. Use of PTH-like drugs (whether commercially available or through participation in an investigational trial) including PTH(1-84), PTH(1-34), or other N-terminal fragments or analogs of PTH or PTH-related protein within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1
7. Use of other drugs known to influence calcium and bone metabolism, such as calcitonin, fluoride tablets (> 0.5 mg/day), strontium, or cinacalcet hydrochloride within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1
8. Use of bisphosphonates (oral or IV) or denosumab within 2 years prior to Visit 1
9. Non-hypocalcemic seizure disorder with a history of a seizure within 26 weeks prior to Visit 1
NOTE: History of seizures that occur in the setting of hypocalcemia is not exclusionary
10. Increased risk for osteosarcoma, such as those with Paget's disease of bone or unexplained elevations of alkaline phosphatase, open epiphyses, hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma, or with a prior history of substantial external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton
11. Pregnant or lactating women.
NOTE: Highly effective contraception (see Appendix 6) is required for sexually active women of childbearing potential during the trial and for 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug, and pregnancy testing will be performed throughout the trial. Sexually active women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to use highly effective contraception are excluded from the trial.
12. Diagnosis of drug or alcohol dependence within 3 years prior to Visit 1
13. Disease processes that may adversely affect gastrointestinal absorption including but not limited to short bowel syndrome, bowel resection, gastric bypass, tropical sprue, active celiac disease, active ulcerative colitis, gastroparesis, AIRE gene mutations with malabsorption, and active Crohn’s disease
14. Chronic or severe cardiac disease within 26 weeks prior to Visit 1 including but not limited to congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, QTcF >430 msec (males) or
>450 msec (females), severe or uncontrolled arrhythmias, bradycardia (resting heart rate
<50 beats/minute), symptomatic hypotension, systolic BP <80 mm Hg or diastolic
<40 mm Hg, or poorly controlled hypertension (systolic BP >150 mm Hg or diastolic
>95 mm Hg)
15. Cerebrovascular accident within 5
