Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Change From Baseline at Week 40 in Serum Phosphorus [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
   The Generalized Estimation Equation (GEE) model includes the change from baseline as the dependent variable, time as the categorical variable and adjusted for baseline measurement, with exchangeable covariance structure.
2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Treatment Emergent AEs (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation [ Time Frame: From the signing of informed consent through the Week 64 data cutoff ]
   An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug, whether or not considered drug related. A serious AE was defined as an AE that at any dose, in the view of either the Investigator or Sponsor, results in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or disability, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or other important medical events (according to the investigator). An AE was considered a TEAE if it occurred on or after the first dose and was not present prior to the first dose, or it was present prior to the first dose but increased in severity during the study. Events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0: grade 1 (mild), grade 2 (moderate), grade 3 (severe), grade 4 (life-threatening), grade 5 (death).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) Global Score at Week 40 [ Time Frame: Week 40 ]
   Changes in the severity of rickets and bowing were assessed centrally by three independent pediatric radiologists contracted by a central imaging facility using a disease specific qualitative RGI-C scoring system. The RGI-C is a seven point ordinal scale with possible values: +3 = very much better (complete or near complete healing of rickets), +2 = much better (substantial healing of rickets), +1 = minimally better (i.e., minimal healing of rickets), 0 = unchanged, -1 = minimally worse (minimal worsening of rickets), -2 = much worse (moderate worsening of rickets), -3 = very much worse (severe worsening of rickets). The Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model includes the RGI-C score as the dependent variable, age and RSS at baseline as covariates.
2. RGI-C Global Score at Week 64 [ Time Frame: Week 64 ]
   Changes in the severity of rickets and bowing were assessed centrally by three independent pediatric radiologists contracted by a central imaging facility using a disease specific qualitative RGI-C scoring system. The RGI-C is a seven point ordinal scale with possible values: +3 = very much better (complete or near complete healing of rickets), +2 = much better (substantial healing of rickets), +1 = minimally better (i.e., minimal healing of rickets), 0 = unchanged, -1 = minimally worse (minimal worsening of rickets), -2 = much worse (moderate worsening of rickets), -3 = very much worse (severe worsening of rickets). The GEE model includes the RGI-C score as the dependent variable, visit as a factor, age and RSS at baseline as covariates, with exchangeable covariance structure.
3. Change From Baseline in Rickets at Week 40 as Assessed by the RSS Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
   The RSS system is a 10-point radiographic scoring method that was developed to assess the severity of nutritional rickets in the wrists and knees based on the degree of metaphyseal fraying, cupping, and the proportion of the growth plate affected. Scores are assigned for the unilateral wrist and knee X-rays deemed by the rater to be the more severe of the bilateral images. The maximum total score on the RSS is 10 points and the minimum score is 0, with a total possible score of 4 points for the wrists and 6 points for the knees. Higher scores indicate greater rickets severity.The ANCOVA model includes the RGI-C score as the dependent variable, age and RSS at baseline as covariates.
4. Change From Baseline in Rickets at Week 64 as Assessed by the RSS Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 64 ]
   The RSS system is a 10-point radiographic scoring method that was developed to assess the severity of nutritional rickets in the wrists and knees based on the degree of metaphyseal fraying, cupping, and the proportion of the growth plate affected. Scores are assigned for the unilateral wrist and knee X-rays deemed by the rater to be the more severe of the bilateral images. The maximum total score on the RSS is 10 points, with a total possible score of 4 points for the wrists and 6 points for the knees. Higher scores indicate greater rickets severity. The GEE model includes the change from baseline in RSS as the dependent variable, visit as a factor, age and RSS at baseline as covariates, with exchangeable covariance structure.
5. RGI-C Lower Limb Deformity Score at Week 40 [ Time Frame: Week 40 ]
   Changes in the severity of lower extremity skeletal abnormalities were assessed centrally by three independent pediatric radiologists contracted by a central imaging facility using a disease specific qualitative RGI-C scoring system. The RGI-C is a seven point ordinal scale with possible values: +3 = very much better (complete or near complete healing of rickets), +2 = much better (substantial healing of rickets), +1 = minimally better (i.e., minimal healing of rickets), 0 = unchanged, -1 = minimally worse (minimal worsening of rickets), -2 = much worse (moderate worsening of rickets), -3 = very much worse (severe worsening of rickets). The ANCOVA model includes the RGI-C score as the dependent variable, age and RSS at baseline as covariates.
6. RGI-C Lower Limb Deformity Score at Week 64 [ Time Frame: Week 64 ]
   Changes in the severity of lower extremity skeletal abnormalities were assessed centrally by three independent pediatric radiologists contracted by a central imaging facility using a disease specific qualitative RGI-C scoring system. The RGI-C is a seven point ordinal scale with possible values: +3 = very much better (complete or near complete healing of rickets), +2 = much better (substantial healing of rickets), +1 = minimally better (i.e., minimal healing of rickets), 0 = unchanged, -1 = minimally worse (minimal worsening of rickets), -2 = much worse (moderate worsening of rickets), -3 = very much worse (severe worsening of rickets). The GEE model includes the RGI-C score as the dependent variable, visit as a factor, age and RSS at baseline as covariates, with exchangeable covariance structure.
7. Change From Baseline in Recumbent Length/Standing Height From Baseline Up to Week 64 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 40, 64 ]
8. Change From Baseline in Recumbent Length/Standing Height From Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 40, and 64 as Assessed by Height-for-Age Z-Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 40, 64 ]
   Recumbent length/Standing height z scores are measures of height adjusted for a child's age and sex. The Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from a reference population (from the CDC growth charts) in the same age range and with the same sex. A Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean with negative numbers indicating values lower than the mean and positive values higher. Higher Z-scores indicate a better outcome.
9. Change From Baseline in Recumbent Length/Standing Height From Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 40, and 64 as Assessed by Percentiles [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 40, 64 ]
10. Change From Baseline Over Time in Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 12, 20, 40, 48, 56, 64 ]
    The GEE model includes the change from baseline as the dependent variable, time as the categorical variable and adjusted for baseline measurement, with exchangeable covariance structure.
11. Percent Change From Baseline Over Time in Serum ALP [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 12, 20, 40, 48, 56, 64 ]
