The drug was developed as TransCon PTH, a peptide therapy designed to address deficient levels of parathyroid hormone in patients with hypoparathyroidism.
Launch Preparation:
Ascendis Pharma is well-prepared for the U.S. launch of YORVIPATH, following the hard-fought FDA approval.
Significance:
This approval is a significant achievement for Ascendis Pharma, as it addresses a previously unmet medical need for patients with hypoparathyroidism.
