Program Summary
1,6
Encaleret is an investigational oral negative allosteric modulator of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) targeting low calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia) and high levels of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria) by selectively modulating the CaSR. Chronic hypoparathyroidism is characterized by inadequate or impaired parathyroid hormone secretion causing low serum calcium and can lead to a range of debilitating symptoms. Hypoparathyroidism is also associated with excess calcium in urine, a condition called hypercalciuria, and increased phosphate in the blood. Most cases of hypoparathyroidism occur as a complication of surgery. Encaleret is being evaluated for its potential to be a therapy for chronic hypoparathyroidism, acting on the CaSR to regulate calcium homeostasis. We plan to initiate a Phase 3 study of encaleret in chronic hypoparathyroidism in 2026.
*This is an investigator-initiated study conducted at the NIH and Calcilytix. Calcilytix has a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) in place with NIH.
