Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Efficacy - Primary Endpoint During the Blinded Period
26 weeks

The primary endpoint was a multi-component endpoint that included the percentage of participants who met the following criteria at 26 weeks of blinded treatment: 1) albumin-adjusted serum calcium measured within 4 weeks prior to and on Week 26 visit within the normal range (8.3 to 10.6 mg/dL), and 2) independence from active vitamin D within 4 weeks prior to Week 26 visit (i.e., all daily standing dose of active vitamin D equal to zero AND use of PRN ≤7 days during the 4 weeks), and 3) independence from therapeutic doses of calcium within 4 weeks prior to Week 26 visit (i.e., average daily standing dose of elemental calcium ≤600 mg AND use of PRN doses on ≤7 days during the 4 weeks), and 4) no increase in prescribed study drug within 4 weeks prior to Week 26 visit.
