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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a daily injection of palopegteriparatide (also known as Yorvipath)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer adolescents with chronic hypoparathyroidism a way to control calcium levels without needing daily vitamin D or high-dose calcium supplements.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm study with no placebo group, so results may not be definitive. Long-term safety and effectiveness beyond 234 weeks are not yet known.
