PG - 523-32 LID - 10.4158/EP15936.OR [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Hypoparathyroidism is characterized by inadequate parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting in hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and bone abnormalities. Adults with hypoparathyroidism treated with recombinant human PTH, rhPTH(1-84), in the 24-week, phase III REPLACE study maintained serum calcium despite reductions in oral calcium and active vitamin D. This study assessed the long-term efficacy and safety of rhPTH(1-84) for hypoparathyroidism. METHODS: This was a 24-week, open-label, flexible-dose extension study of REPLACE (REPEAT) conducted in 3 outpatient centers in Hungary. Patients who previously completed or enrolled in REPLACE received 50 mug/day rhPTH(1-84), escalated to 75 and then to 100 mug/day, if needed, to reduce active vitamin D and oral calcium. The primary endpoint was >/=50% reduction in oral calcium (or
