Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Males and females, =18 years of age 2. Subjects with postsurgical chronic HP, or auto-immune, genetic, or idiopathic HP for at least 26 weeks. Diagnosis of HP is established based on history of hypocalcemia in the setting of inappropriately low serum PTH levels (Hypocalcemia is defined as a value below the reference range for normal at the performing laboratory. Inappropriately low serum PTH levels are defined as at or below the median value of the reference range for normal at the performing laboratory while the concomitant serum calcium is low. If specific lab results at the time of original diagnosis are not available. as historical diagnosis affirming these two components is adequate for inclusion). 3. Requirement for doses of SOC eg, calcitriol, alfacalcidol, calcium supplements) at or above a minimum threshold: • For countries other than Japan: requirement for a dose of calcitriol =0.5 µg day, or alfacalcidol =1.0 µg day and (elemental) calcium =800 mg day (eg, calcium citrate, calcium carbonate etc.) for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening*. In addition, the dose of calcitriol, or alfacalcidol, or calcium should be stable** for at least 5 weeks prior to Screening. * Excluding individuals receiving PTH-like drugs within 12 weeks of the screening visit, who need only demonstrate a stable requirement for elemental calcium and active vitamin D above minimum thresholds for 5 weeks prior to the screening visit. * *Does not preclude occasional (=2/week) PRN doses of calcium and/or active vitamin D for symptomatic hypocalcemia. 4. Optimization of supplements prior to randomization to achieve the target serum levels of: • 25(OH) vitamin D levels of 20-80 ng/mL (49-200 nmol/L) and • Magnesium level in the normal range, or just below the normal range i.e.: =1.3 mg/dL (0.53 mmol/L) and • Albumin-adjusted or ionized sCa level in the normal range, or *just below the normal range, i.e.: - Albumin-adjusted sCa 7.8-10.6 mg/dL (or 1.95-2.64 mmol/L) - Ionized sCa 4.40-5.29 mg/dL (or 1.10-1.32 mmol/L) *Just below the normal range implies the numerical range of 7.8-8.2 mg/dL (or 1.95-2.06 mmol/L) for albumin-adjusted sCA and the numerical range of 4.40-4.636 mg/dL (or 1.10-1.159 mmol/L) for ionized sCA. 5. The subject demonstrates a 24-hour uCa excretion of =125 mg/24h (on a sample collected within 52 weeks prior to Screening or during the Screening Period) Note: Although 24-hour urine samples prior to Screening may be done on or off thiazide therapy, thiazide therapy is prohibited during the trial; and the 24-hour urine collection scheduled prior to Visit 1 must be done while off thiazides for at least 4 weeks prior to collection 6. BMI 17- 40 kg/m2 at Screening 7. If =25 years of age, radiological evidence of epiphyseal closure based on X-ray of non-dominant wrist and hand 8. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) within normal laboratory limits within the 6 weeks prior to Visit 1; if on suppressive therapy for a history of thyroid cancer, TSH level must be =0.2 mIU/L 9. If treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, the dose must have been stable for at least 5 weeks prior to Screening 10. eGFR =30 mL/min/1.73 m2 during Screening 11. Able to perform daily SC self-injections of study drug (or have a designee to perform injections) via a pre-filled injection pen 12. Able and willing to provide written and signed ICF in accordance with GCP. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Impaired responsiveness to PTH (pseudohypoparathyroidism) which is characterized as PTH-resistance, with elevated PTH levels in the setting of hypocalcemia 2.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the treatment effect of daily TransCon PTH on serum calcium levels, and therapeutic doses of active vitamin D (i.e., calcitriol or alfacalcidol) and calcium at 26 weeks of treatment. ;Secondary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of daily TransCon PTH • To assess the treatment effect of daily TransCon PTH on hypoparathyroidism patient experience scale (HPES) domain scores • To assess the treatment effect of daily TransCon PTH on PD markers (including sCa) and active vitamin D and calcium doses • To assess the treatment effect of daily TransCon PTH on sP, CxP (albumin-adjusted sCa x sP product), and sMg. • To assess anti-PTH, anti-TransCon PTH and anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibody responses • To assess the treatment effect during Extension Period • To assess the treatment effect of daily TransCon PTH on - BMD and trabecular bone score (TBS) by DXA - Bone turnover markers (serum P1NP and CTx) • To assess the impact of treatment on patient-reported health-related QOL and a clinician reported outcome (ClinRO) assessment;Primary end point(s): At 26 weeks of treatment, the proportion of subjects with: • Albumin-adjusted sCa measured within 4 weeks prior to and on the Week 26 visit are within the normal range (8.3-10.6mg/dL)*; and • Independence from active vitamin D ** and • Independence from therapeutic doses of calcium (ie, taking calcium supplements =600 mg/ day). This dose of calcium =600 mg/ day in the form of tablets, powder, liquid suspension, or transdermal patch is considered as “supplemental” to meeting recommended daily intake for general health, as opposed to a “therapeutic” dose to treat hypoparathyroidism*** and •No increase in prescribed study drug within 4 weeks prior to Week 26 visit**** * Except for at the Week 26 visit, confirmation that an albumin-adjusted sCa is "abnormal" requires 2 consecutive results outside the normal range within 4 weeks prior to the Week 26 visit. ** Independence from active vitami
