Frequently asked questions about Canvuparatide

What is Canvuparatide used for?

Canvuparatide is being developed for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism, a condition in which the body produces insufficient parathyroid hormone. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved by the FDA. The clinical program is focused on adults with hypoparathyroidism, and the drug has received an orphan drug designation from the FDA.

How does Canvuparatide work?

Canvuparatide targets the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor, known as PTH1R. By acting on this receptor, it is designed to mimic the physiological effects of parathyroid hormone, which regulates calcium and phosphate balance. This mechanism is intended to address the hormonal deficiency that characterizes hypoparathyroidism.

Who is developing Canvuparatide?

Canvuparatide is being developed by MBX Biosciences, Inc., which trades under the ticker MBX. The company is responsible for the clinical development program, including the ongoing Phase 3 trial and the Phase 2 extension study in patients with hypoparathyroidism.

What phase is Canvuparatide in?

Canvuparatide is in Phase 3 clinical development for hypoparathyroidism. The Phase 3 study is currently recruiting participants, and a Phase 2 extension study is active but no longer recruiting. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is Canvuparatide in?

Canvuparatide is being evaluated in two clinical trials. The Phase 3 trial, NCT07699471, is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adults with hypoparathyroidism, recruiting in the United States. The Phase 2 extension study, NCT06531941, is evaluating long-term safety and tolerability in the United States, Argentina, and Turkey.

Is Canvuparatide the same as MBX 2109?

Yes, Canvuparatide is also known as MBX 2109. The alternative names refer to different dose levels of the same investigational compound, including 400 micrograms and 200 to 1600 micrograms administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection. Both names describe the same drug candidate being developed for hypoparathyroidism.
