The risk of chronic kidney disease development in adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1-84): A retrospective cohort study
Clinical Endocrinology, 2022
Objective
This study assessed the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over a period of up to 5 years in adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH[1-84]) compared with a historical control cohort of patients not treated with rhPTH(1-84).
Design
Retrospective cohort study of patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1-84) derived from the REPLACE (NCT00732615), RELAY (NCT01268098), RACE (NCT01297309) and HEXT (NCT01199614, and its continuation study NCT02910466) clinical trials and a historical control cohort who did not receive PTH selected from an electronic medical record database.
Patients
One hundred and eighteen patients treated with rhPTH(1-84) and 497 patient controls.
Measurements
Incident CKD was defined as ≥2 eGFR measurements <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 ≥3 months apart during the study and a sustained eGFR decline of ≥30% from baseline.
Results
Over the 5-year period, Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that rhPTH(1-84)-treated patients had a significantly lower risk of developing CKD (log-rank p = .002) and a lower risk for a sustained eGFR decline ≥30% from baseline (log-rank p < .001) compared with patients in the control cohort. In adjusted analyses, patients in the rhPTH(1-84)-treated cohort had a 53% lower risk of developing CKD (hazard ratio [HR], 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25-0.87) and a 65% lower risk for sustained eGFR decline ≥30% from baseline (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.13-0.89) compared with controls.
Conclusions
Patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1-84) in long-term clinical trials had a significantly lower risk of developing CKD compared with patients in a historical control cohort not treated with rhPTH(1-84).
