The company’s subsidiary, OPKO Health, has already expanded its collaboration with Entera Bio to accelerate the development of the first oral, long-acting parathyroid hormone analog for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism. The partnered program showed positive PK/PD results in December 2025, with an IND filing planned for late 2026. OPKO and Entera each hold 50% ownership.

Oral OXM and oral GLP-2 have both demonstrated robust PK profiles and bioavailability. Furthermore, preclinical data of oral LA-PTH suggests that this program holds the potential to transform the hypoparathyroidism landscape, said Miranda Toledano, Chief Executive Officer of Entera.

Under the terms of the strategic collaboration, OPKO and Entera are to hold a 50% pro rata ownership interest in the LA-PTH hypoparathyroidism. The company will also be responsible for 50% of the program’s development costs.
