On June 13, 2026, the Company announced Week 182 data from its completed Phase 3 PaTHway Trial showing that long-term treatment with TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) demonstrated sustained efficacy and safety in adults with hypoparathyroidism. Over the three-and-a-half-year duration of the trial, TransCon PTH replicated the systemic actions of endogenous PTH, with a balanced, beneficial impact on the main target organ systems – CNS, kidney, small intestine, and bone – as demonstrated by improved quality of life and normalized and stable urine calcium, serum calcium, serum phosphate, and bone mineral density. These benefits were sustained while enabling independence from conventional therapy with active vitamin D and calcium.

Highlights of Week 182 Results from the Phase 3 PaTHway Trial

The PaTHway Trial of 82 adults with hypoparathyroidism (85% post-surgical, 15% non-surgical) included a 26-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by a 156-week open-label extension (OLE) period, and measured a wide array of clinical, biochemical, and quality of life endpoints, consistent with the breadth of negative long-term impacts experienced by patients with hypoparathyroidism. Seventy-three of the original 82 patients enrolled (89%) completed the three-and-a-half-year trial. Endpoints included independence from conventional therapy (defined as <600 mg/day of calcium and no active vitamin D) and maintenance of normocalcemia (8.3 to 10.6 mg/dL). Renal function was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by DXA scan was assessed at baseline and regular intervals through Week 182. Hypoparathyroidism-related symptoms and functional impacts were measured using the HPES. Health-related quality of life was measured using the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36 version 2). Safety assessments included treatment-emergent AEs and 24-hour urine calcium excretion.
