TransCon PTH PaTHway Trial Top-Line
Data at Week 26 PaTHway Trial met primary and all key secondary endpoints 78.7% of patients (48 of 61) treated with TransCon PTH achieved the primary endpoint, compared to 4.8% (1 of 21) of patients in the control group (p-value <0.0001)
Statistically significant improvements observed on all key prespecified secondary endpoints compared to control: HPES Symptom measures: Physical domain score (p-value = 0.0038) and Cognitive domain score (p-value = 0.0055) HPES Impact
measures: Physical Functioning domain score (p-value = 0.0046) and Daily Life domain score (p-value = 0.0061) SF-36v2 - Physical Functioning subscale score (p-value = 0.0347) TransCon PTH was generally well tolerated, with no discontinuations
related to study drug 82% of TransCon PTH patients and 100% of patients in control group reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), the majority of which were Grade 1, 2 in severity. One serious related TEAE in the TransCon PTH arm was
reported due to a dosing error One death in the TransCon PTH arm was assessed as unrelated to study drug TransCon PTH-treated patients showed a mean decrease in 24-hour urine calcium excretion into the normal range, from 390 mg/24 hours down
to 220 mg/24 hours HPES, Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scales.
