The following dosing information is available for YORVIPATH (palopegteriparatide):
It isessential that the manufacturer's labeling be consulted for more detailed information on dosage and administration of this drug. Dosage summary:
*Use only one injection to achieve the once daily recommended dosage.
*Individualize dosage based on serum calcium.
*The recommended starting dosage is 18 mcg once daily and is titrated in 3 mcg increments or decrements with the goal of maintaining serum calcium within the normal range without the need for active vitamin D (e.g., calcitriol) or therapeutic calcium doses (elemental calcium >600 mg/day). The maximum recommended palopegteriparatide dosage is 30 mcg subcutaneously once daily. If an adequate response is not achieved with the maximum dose of 30 mcg, consider adding or restarting calcium and/or active vitamin D therapy and/or seek other treatment options.
*Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for complete dosage and administration information.

Available data from reports of pregnancies in the clinical trials from drug development are insufficient to identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are disease-associated risks to the mother and fetus related to hypocalcemia in pregnancy. In animal reproduction studies, administration of palopegteriparatide to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in no significant adverse effects up to doses 16- and 13-fold, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), based on PTH(1-34) and active metabolite PTH(1-33) exposure by AUC.
The background risk of birth defects and miscarriages for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S.
general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. If palopegteriparatide is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving palopegteriparatide, healthcare providers should report palopegteriparatide exposure by calling 1-844-442-7236. Maternal hypocalcemia can result in an increased rate of spontaneous abortion, premature and dysfunctional labor, and possibly preeclampsia.
Infants born to mothers with hypocalcemia can have associated fetal and neonatal hyperparathyroidism, which may cause fetal and neonatal skeletal demineralization, subperiosteal bone resorption, osteitis fibrosa cystica, and neonatal seizures. Infants born to mothers with hypocalcemia should be monitored for signs of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia, including neuromuscular irritability (e.g., myotonic jerks, seizures), apnea, cyanosis, and cardiac arrhythmias.

There are no data available on the presence of palopegteriparatide or its metabolite in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Infants breastfed by females treated with palopegteriparatide should be monitored for signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. Monitoring of serum calcium in the infant should be considered. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for palopegteriparatide and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from the drug or from the underlying sub-optimally treated maternal condition.
In Study 1, 8 of 61 (13%) palopegteriparatide-treated subjects were 65 years of age or older compared to 2 of 21 (10%) subjects in the placebo group. Clinical studies of palopegteriparatide did not include a sufficient number of subjects 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult subjects.
