- Ascendis Pharma A/S (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASND#NASDAQ">ASND</a>) today announced new data from Week 214 of its Phase 2 PaTH Forward Trial showing that long-term treatment with TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) continued to provide a durable response in adults with hypoparathyroidism. Results were shared in an oral presentation today by Andrea Palermo, M.D., from the Campus Bio-Medico University (Rome), during ESPE &amp; ESE 2025, the joint congress of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE).
The PaTH Forward Trial included a 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by an open-label extension period through Week 266. Renal function was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Bone turnover markers C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx) and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), as well as bone mineral density (BMD) measured by DXA scan, were assessed at baseline and regular intervals through Week 214. Safety assessments included 24-hour urine-calcium and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). At Week 214, 56 of the original 59 patients enrolled (95%) remained in the open-label extension portion of the trial.
At Week 214, nearly all patients (98%) continued to have normal albumin-adjusted serum calcium levels and 93% remained independent from conventional therapy (defined as taking &lt; 600mg/day of calcium and not taking active vitamin D). Bone turnover markers CTx and P1NP increased from the low end of normal at baseline, peaked by Week 26, then declined and remained stable above baseline levels through Week 214. The data also showed continued improvement in skeletal dynamics, with BMD remaining within age- and sex-matched norms. In addition, at Week 214, most participants (67.8%) had a clinically meaningful (≥ 5&nbsp;mL/min/1.73 m2) increase in eGFR from baseline, with changes in eGFR evident at Week 4.
In the trial, TransCon PTH treatment was generally well-tolerated, with no new safety signals identified. TEAEs were mostly mild or moderate and no serious TEAEs or discontinuations were related to study drug.
"We set out to address the underlying cause of disease and are pleased to see this long-term data reinforcing the safety profile and durability of response in patients treated with TransCon PTH, including sustained normalization of skeletal dynamics and significant and sustained improvements in kidney function," said&nbsp;Aimee Shu,&nbsp;M.D.&nbsp;Executive Vice President of Endocrine &amp; Rare Disease Medical Science and Chief Medical Officer at Ascendis Pharma.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
