Heart risk in hypoparathyroidism: could a Once-Daily injection protect arteries?
NCT ID NCT07707479
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether long-acting parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogues can reduce signs of early heart and blood vessel damage in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism. Researchers will compare artery stiffness and heart function in people taking the PTH analogue palopegteriparatide, those on standard therapy, and healthy volunteers. Participants will be followed for 12 months with vascular tests, heart imaging, and blood work to track changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a long-acting parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogue called palopegteriparatide (TransCon PTH)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that PTH analogues protect the heart and arteries in people with hypoparathyroidism, potentially reducing their risk of cardiovascular disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up study, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. The treatment is already approved, but its heart benefits are not yet proven.

Inclusion Criteria: \- Cross sectional arm: Baseline State: Adults (≥18y) with chronic HypoPT (≥12 months) currently treated with conventional therapy or palopegteriparatide for more than one year -Prospective Follow-up: Adults (≥18y) with chronic HypoPT (≥12 months) currently treated with conventional therapy and about to start treatment with palopegteriparatide willing to undergo baseline measurements (prior to the first dose) and repeat measurements at 3 and 12 months.
