Ascendis Pharma 5-Year TransCon PTH PaTH Forward Data: 82% Off Active Vitamin D and Calcium at Week 266, 95% Trial Completion
Ascendis Pharma (Nasdaq: ASND) released June 11 the 5-year (Week 266) results from its Phase 2 PaTH Forward trial of TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism, ahead of formal presentation at ENDO 2026 in Chicago. At Week 266, 82% of patients met the composite endpoint of normal serum calcium without active vitamin D and with less than 600 mg/day of calcium; nearly all participants achieved independence from conventional therapy, and 95% completed the full five years. TransCon PTH replicated endogenous PTH across kidney, intestine, CNS, and bone, with normalized urine and serum calcium, sustained bone mineral density, and quality-of-life gains. The data directly stress-tests MBX Biosciences's once-weekly canvuparatide Phase 2 readout from June 12, which posted 63% responder at 12 weeks and 57% at one year.
