NCT ID NCT07081997
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests higher daily doses (over 30 mcg) of palopegteriparatide (Yorvipath) in 36 adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism. Participants already on the drug will have their dose adjusted to find the best level for controlling calcium without needing extra vitamin D or calcium supplements. The study lasts 78 weeks and focuses on safety and effectiveness.
