Abstract
Several studies have investigated replacement therapy with recombinant human parathyroid hormone [rhPTH(1-84)] for patients affected by chronic hypoparathyroidism who are not adequately controlled with standard treatment. In 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA approved rhPTH(1-84), named Natpara®, for the pharmacological management of hypoparathyroidism. In Europe, in February 2017, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended granting a conditional marketing authorization in the European Union for rhPTH(1-84). Here we review the studies conducted with rhPTH(1-84) and PTH(1-34) in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism. The research done in this field has shown that replacement treatment with rhPTH(1-84) is an important therapeutic option for subjects with chronic hypoparathyroidism who are not well controlled with conventional treatment. However, further long-term investigations are needed.
期刊介绍:
A series of integrated overviews on cutting-edge topics
New sophisticated technologies and methodological approaches in diagnostics and therapeutics have led to significant improvements in identifying and characterizing an increasing number of medical conditions, which is particularly true for all aspects of endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions. Novel insights in endocrine physiology and pathophysiology allow for new perspectives in clinical management and thus lead to the development of molecular, personalized treatments. In view of this, the active interplay between basic scientists and clinicians has become fundamental, both to provide patients with the most appropriate care and to advance future research.
