Change From Baseline at Week 40 in Serum Phosphorus |
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. |

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Treatment Emergent AEs (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation |
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). |
From first dose of study drug through the end of the study (Week 160). Maximum duration of exposure to study drug was 160 weeks. |

Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) Score at 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. |

RGI-C Score at 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. |

Change From Baseline in Rickets at Week 40 as Assessed by the RSS Total Score |
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. |

RGI-C Lower Limb Deformity Score at 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).

Change From Baseline Over Time in Recumbent Length/Standing Height as Assessed by Height-for-Age Z-Scores |
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. |
