Brief Summary

This clinical study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated dosing of recombinant human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH\[1-84\]) in Japanese participants with chronic hypoparathyroidism for a 26-week period.

Conditions

Chronic Hypoparathyroidism

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Number of Responders at Week 26

  Number of participants who achieved an albumin-corrected total serum calcium concentration that is maintained or normalized compared to baseline and does not exceed the upper limit of the reference range for the laboratory, at least a 50% reduction from baseline amounts of active vitamin D therapy and at least a 50% reduction from the baseline oral calcium supplement dose (this criterion will be considered met if the participant's baseline calcium dose is \<1000 mg and it does not increase during the study will be reported.

  Week 26

• Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

  An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this study treatment. A TEAE is defined as any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an investigational product or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the investigational product or medicinal product.

  From start of study treatment up to 30 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Change From Baseline in Serum Phosphate Level

  Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 26 and 30

• Change From Baseline in Urine Calcium Level

  Baseline, Week 26

Study Arms (1)

rhPTH(1-84)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a SC injection of initial dose of 50 mcg of rhPTH(1-84) once daily (QD) in the thigh (alternate thigh every day). If albumin-corrected serum calcium (ACSC; \[mg/dL\] = serum calcium \[mg/dL\] +0.8\*\[4-serum albumin (g/dL)\]) is \>2.25 mmol/L (\>9.0 mg/dL), a starting dose of 25 mcg will be considered. At 4 week intervals the rhPTH(1-84) dose may be increased in 25 mcg increments to a maximal dose of 100 mcg SC QD. At any time during the study as needed for safety reasons, rhPTH(1-84) doses may be decreased in 25 mcg decrements to a minimum of 25 mcg QD. If the ACSC is \>2.97 mmol/L (\>11.9 mg/dL), then the investigational product should be stopped until the calcium level is corrected.

Participants will receive a SC injection of initial dose of 50 mcg of rhPTH(1-84) once daily (QD) in the thigh (alternate thigh every day). If albumin-corrected serum calcium (ACSC; \[mg/dL\] = serum calcium \[mg/dL\] +0.8\*\[4-serum albumin (g/dL)\]) is \>2.25 mmol/L (\>9.0 mg/dL), a starting dose of 25 mcg will be considered. At 4 week intervals the rhPTH(1-84) dose may be increased in 25 mcg increments to a maximal dose of 100 mcg SC QD. At any time during the study as needed for safety reasons, rhPTH(1-84) doses may be decreased in 25 mcg decrements to a minimum of 25 mcg QD. If the ACSC is \>2.97 mmol/L (\>11.9 mg/dL), then the investigational product should be stopped until the calcium level is corrected.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 85 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• The participant has signed and dated the informed consent form.
• The participant is an adult male or female 20 to 85 years of age inclusive.
• The participant is living in Japan and is Japanese; in this case, Japanese is defined as having been born in Japan, with Japanese parents, and Japanese maternal and paternal grandparents.
• The participant has a diagnosis of chronic hypoparathyroidism with an onset of 18 months or more prior to screening. The diagnosis is based on historical biochemical evidence of hypocalcemia in the setting of a concomitant inappropriately low serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH). If such evidence is not available the diagnosis of chronic hypoparathyroidism must be confirmed by the Shire medical monitor based on other compelling medical history.
• The participant has been treated with active vitamin D therapy with alfacalcidol greater than or equal to (\>=) 1 microgram (mcg) per day (or an equivalent dose of calcitriol of \>=0.5 mcg per day or falecalcitriol \>=0.3 mcg per day) prior to baseline.
• The participant has indicated a willingness and ability to perform daily subcutaneous (SC) self-injections of study medication (or will have a designee, ie, a family member or caregiver, to perform injections).
• Females of childbearing potential must agree to comply with the contraceptive requirements of the protocol.
• The participants who are less than (\<) 25 years old demonstrate radiological evidence of epiphyseal closure at screening based on bone age X-ray (single posteroanterior X-ray of the left wrist and hand).
• The participant meets 1 of the following criteria:
• If not receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy, the participant has a serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level within normal laboratory limits at screening.
• If receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy, the dose must have been stable for at least 3 months prior to screening and serum TSH level within the reference range for the laboratory.
• The participant has a 25-hydroxyvitamin D level \>=50 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L) (20 nanogram per milliliter \[ng/mL\]) and \< upper limit of normal (ULN) of the laboratory reference range.
• The participant has a serum creatinine laboratory value of \<132.6 micromoles per liter (mcmoles/L) (1.5 milligram per deciliter \[mg/dL\]).
• The participant has a serum magnesium level within the laboratory reference range at baseline.
• The participant is not adequately controlled with standard therapy within 6 months of screening based upon the opinion of the investigator and approval by the sponsor's medical monitor. For example:

You may not qualify if:

• The participant and/or legally authorized representative(s) is unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study.
• The participant is unable to comply with the protocol, eg, uncooperative with protocol schedule, refusal to agree to all of the study procedures, inability to return for evaluations, or is otherwise unlikely to complete the study, as determined by the investigator or the medical monitor.
• The participant has any disease that might affect calcium metabolism or calcium-phosphate homeostasis other than hypoparathyroidism, such as active hyperthyroidism, Paget's disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus or poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (hemoglobin A1c \[HbA1c\] \>8%), severe and chronic cardiac, liver or renal disease, Cushing's syndrome, neuromuscular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, myeloma, pancreatitis, malnutrition, rickets, recent prolonged immobility, active malignancy, primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, a history of parathyroid carcinoma, hypopituitarism, acromegaly, or multiple endocrine neoplasia types I and II.
• The participant has a known history of hypoparathyroidism resulting from an activating mutation in the CaSR gene or impaired responsiveness to PTH (pseudohypoparathyroidism).
• The participant is taking prohibited medications (listed below) or other drugs known to influence calcium and bone metabolism during their respective prohibited periods.
• a) The following prohibited medications should not be taken within the specified number of days prior to the first dose of rhPTH(1-84): i) 30 days: loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics, phosphate binders (other than calcium carbonate), calcitonin, cinacalcet hydrochloride.
