“Conventional therapy for ADH1 includes raising the blood calcium levels with calcium supplements and activated vitamin D, taken in multiple doses throughout day.

Key Points: 
  • “Conventional therapy for ADH1 includes raising the blood calcium levels with calcium supplements and activated vitamin D, taken in multiple doses throughout day.
  • But this burdensome regimen may also increase urine calcium levels above normal, which can damage the kidney, leading to kidney failure in worst-case scenarios.
  • People with ADH1 need better treatments, so they are not constantly walking on a tightrope.
  • As part of the Phase 2b study, participants completed one or two 5-day inpatient dose-ranging periods, followed by a 24-week outpatient period.
