Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by hypersecretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by typically benign phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs). FGF23 excess causes chronic hypophosphatemia through renal phosphate losses and decreased production of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin-D. TIO presents with symptoms of chronic hypophosphatemia including fatigue, bone pain, weakness, and fractures.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious inflammatory condition with no specific treatments available; it's triggered by factors like elevated calcium levels and ATP depletion.
  • A new drug, CM4620, currently in Phase 2b trials, shows promise as a CRAC channel inhibitor for AP but requires high concentrations for effectiveness, which could cause side effects.
  • Combining lower doses of CM4620 with galactose, a natural carbohydrate, significantly enhances protective effects against cell damage and inflammation in AP models, suggesting a synergistic approach to treatment.

Introduction Chronic kidney disease-related mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), characterized by abnormalities in calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone metabolism, with impaired bone turnover and extravascular calcification is a known complication of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) develops early in the disease and its prevalence gradually increases with the disease progression, becoming almost universal in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The treatment for SHPT includes synthetic vitamin D analogs, calcitriol or calcimimetics.

Introduction: Evocalcet is an oral calcimimetic agent with proven efficacy and safety in treating secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in Japanese patients on dialysis.

Methods: This randomized, double-blind, intrapatient dose-adjustment, parallel-group, international multicenter study compared the efficacy and safety of evocalcet versus cinacalcet for 52 weeks in East Asian hemodialysis patients with SHPT.

Results: In total, 203 and 200 patients were randomized to receive evocalcet or cinacalcet, respectively (overall, 70.
