What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a once-weekly injection of canvuparatide (MBX 2109) can help adults with hypoparathyroidism reduce their daily calcium and vitamin D supplements while keeping blood calcium in a healthy range. The study includes 160 participants who will receive either the drug or a placebo for 26 weeks, followed by an open-label extension. The goal is to see if more people on the drug can become independent of active vitamin D and high-dose calcium supplements compared to those on placebo.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
canvuparatide (MBX 2109)
What this could lead to
If successful, this once-weekly injection could allow many people with hypoparathyroidism to reduce or stop daily calcium and vitamin D supplements while keeping their blood calcium levels normal.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, so earlier results were promising but not definitive. The treatment may not work for everyone, and side effects or the need for dose adjustments are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Is an adult ≥18 years of age. 2. Has a documented diagnosis of post-surgical, chronic HypoPT or genetic, idiopathic, or autoimmune HypoPT for at least 12 months prior to screening. 3. Intact PTH level below the median value of the normal range 4. Minimum requirement for a dose of calcitriol ≥0.5 μg/day, or alfacalcidol ≥1.0 μg/day and (elemental) calcium ≥1000 mg/day for at least 12 weeks prior to screening. In addition, the doses of calcitriol, or alfacalcidol, and calcium should be stable for at least 3 weeks prior to screening. 5. Two (2) consecutive measurements of albumin-adjusted serum calcium at least 1 week apart within the range of 7.8 to 9.4 mg/dL (1.95 to 2.35 mmol/L). Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Has a known history of pseudohypoparathyroidism 2. Clinically significant abnormal hematology, clinical chemistry, or coagulation. 3. Any disease that might affect calcium metabolism or calcium-phosphate homeostasis or PTH levels other than HypoPT, such as active endogenous hyperthyroidism; 4. Use of therapies affecting the calcium metabolism within 4 weeks prior to randomization 5. PTH or PTH-related protein drugs such as PTH(1-84) and PTH(1-34) within 5 weeks prior to screening.
