Objective:

To evaluate the therapeutic response of palopegteriparatide in a pediatric patient with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1) who had inadequate control of symptoms and biochemical markers with standard therapy.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The patient experienced complete resolution of tetany.
    • Biochemical stability improved with reduced phosphate levels and a lower calcium-phosphate product, with specific values to be included.
    • Alfacalcidol and calcium supplementation were successfully discontinued.
    Interpretation:

    Palopegteriparatide may be a valuable therapeutic option in pediatric ADH1 when conventional therapy fails, highlighting the need for further studies on its long-term safety and efficacy, particularly in comparison to existing treatments.

    Limitations:
    • The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability to the broader pediatric population with ADH1.
    • Long-term safety and efficacy of palopegteriparatide in children remain to be established, necessitating further research.
    Conclusion:

    Palopegteriparatide shows promise as a treatment for pediatric patients with ADH1 when standard therapies are inadequate.
