A Phase 2 interventional study of MBX 2109 and Placebo in Hypoparathyroidism, sponsored by MBX Biosciences. Completed at 33 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-20.
Sponsored by MBX Biosciences · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of MBX 2109 administered once weekly to patients with hypoparathyroidism.
This study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of MBX 2109 administered once weekly to patients with hypoparathyroidism. Given MBX 2109 is intended as a parathyroid hormone (PTH) replacement hormone to demonstrate that MBX 2109 can maintain serum calcium within a normal range without the need for active vitamin D and therapeutic calcium supplements.

Is an adult ≥18 years of age at the time of the Screening visit.
a. If ≤25 years of age, radiological evidence of epiphyseal closure based on X-ray of non-dominant wrist and hand
Has a diagnosis of one of the following types of hypoparathyroidism for at least 26 weeks prior to the Screening visit:
On a dose for at least 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit of the following:
a) If the patient had a history of hypercalcemia on the above active vitamin D and/or calcium doses, the patient may be eligible to participate in the study on lower doses of calcitriol, alfacalcidol and/or elemental calcium with approval of the medical monitor
At the Screening visit or at completion of the Optimization Period, the following serum analytes must be within the following ranges:
Exclusion Criteria:
Use any of the following therapies:
Loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics, phosphate binders (other than calcium carbonate or citrate), digoxin, lithium, methotrexate, raloxifene hydrocholoride, or acute systemic within 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit;
Is pregnant, lactating or a woman of (WOCBP) who plans to conceive during the study.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
