NCT ID NCT07706764

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a daily injection called palopegteriparatide (Yorvipath) in adolescents aged 12 to 18 with chronic hypoparathyroidism, a condition where the body cannot regulate calcium levels. The goal is to see if the drug can safely bring calcium into the normal range while allowing participants to stop taking active vitamin D and high-dose calcium supplements. The trial follows participants for 234 weeks and is being conducted in Europe.
