The Z-Score indicates how many standard deviations a participant is from the population norm values. The body weight z-scores are designed to take into account the amount of weight gain that would be expected due to normal growth in children and adolescents. The body weight z-scores are by age and gender standardized values (corresponding to a normal distribution with mean 0 and a standard deviation of 1) of the actual weight measurements. Change From Baseline is calculated as value at Month 12 minus value at Baseline.

Height analyses will be conducted at Month 12, for prepubertal participants (2 to 9 years of age), participants 10 to 15 years of age, and participants 2 to 15 years of age.

Subjects are randomized to have the second bone biopsy done 1,2, or 4 years after the start of PTH.

Cohort 1 was treated with HPTH therapy on original protocol. Cohort 1 participants who consented to the new protocol and were treated with HPTH on the new protocol were followed for safety outcomes only. The Safety population of Cohort 1 consisted of 7 participants.

Cohort 1 (HPTH on Old Study) and Received HPTH on New Study

Cohort 2 consists of participants previously treated with conventional care (CC) throughout the original protocol. Cohort 2 participants who received at least one dose of HPTH on the new protocol were included in safety population. Cohort 2 safety population includes 5 participants.

Cohort 2 (CC on Old Study) and Treated With HPTH on New Study

Cohort 3 consists of new participants (i.e. not previously enrolled) that consented to the revised protocol. The Cohort 3 safety population includes 19 subjects who received any HPTH on the new study.

Participants (in Cohorts 2 and 3) were randomized to receive their second bone biopsy at year 1, 2, or 4 after the start of HPTH therapy. For Cohort 2, the baseline bone biopsy was completed at the start of CC on the original protocol. For Cohort 3, the baseline biopsy was completed immediately prior to the first HPTH dose. Because the sample sizes for the 1-, 2- and 4-year biopsies are reduced due to the early termination of the study, so the 2-, and 4-year biopsies were collapsed into one biopsy year group. Cn.BV/TV is one of 8 primary endpoints measured from the bone biopsy. The changes in Cn.BV/TV outcome between two time-points are being reported. The unit of measure is a z-score. Z-scores are normed to standard populations to a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1. The normal range for a z-score is from -2 to 2. Values above or below this normal range are considered worse outcomes.

Cohort 2 consists of participants previously treated with conventional care (CC) throughout the original protocol. Cohort 3 consisted of all new participants. Efficacy outcomes were only analyzed for Cohorts 2 and 3. (Cohort 1 consisted of previously enrolled participants who were on HPTH therapy on the original protocol and continued on HPTH on the new study as a separate group. These participants were not randomized to a bone biopsy year, nor did they have additional biopsies performed. Cohort 1 participants were followed for safety outcomes only. )

Ct.Po.N is a bone biopsy measure that assess the amount of holes in the cortical bone within a predetermined area of cortical bone. The changes in Cn.BV/TV outcome between two time-points are being reported. Cortical bone with a higher number of holes may be at greater risk of fracture. The n's in the outcome measure table refer to the number of complete records (non-missing baseline and post-baseline measures).

The changes in Cn.BFR/BS between two time-points are being reported. The unit of measure is a z-score. Z-scores are normed to standard populations to a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1. The normal range for a z-score is from -2 to 2. Values above or below this normal range are considered worse outcomes.

Change in Cancellous Bone Formation Rate Per Unit of Bone Surface (Cn.BFR/BS)

Following their baseline bone biopsy, 5, 5, and 2 participants were randomized to receive their second bone biopsy at years 1, 2, and 4 after the start of HPTH therapy, respectively. Because the sample sizes for the 1-, 2- and 4-year biopsies are reduced in size due to withdrawal and the early termination of the study, the 2-, and 4-year biopsies were collapsed into one biopsy year group. Cn.MS/BS is measured from the bone biopsy. This measure demonstrates the percentage of the cancellous bone surface that is actively forming bone. The region of interest is the predefined area of total bone that is being measured. The changes in Cn.MS/BS between two time-points are being reported.

Cohort 1 consisted of previously enrolled participants who were on HPTH therapy, were re-consented, and allowed to continue on the current study as a separate group. These participants were not randomized to a bone biopsy year, nor did they have additional biopsies performed. Cohort 1 participants were followed for safety outcomes only. Cohort 2 were previously enrolled participants on conventional care, were re-consented, re-enrolled, and randomized to a biopsy year. Cohort 3 consisted of all new participants consent, enrolled and randomized to a biopsy year. Efficacy outcomes were only analyzed for Cohorts 2 and 3 combined.

The 8 primary bone biopsy measures were to be adjusted HPTH dose by fitting the primary bone biopsy model with both linear and quadratic dose covariates added to the model. However, the study was terminated early resulting in only 5, 5, and 2 participants having their biopsies at 1, 2, and 4 years respectively. To add additional linear and quadratic dose covariates to the statistical model with an already small sample sizes would highly risk over-parameterizing the model. Thus no new analysis was performed.

Primary Bone Biopsy Measures Adjusted for HPTH Dose

As a sensitivity analysis, the 8 primary bone biopsy measures were to be adjusted for female menopausal status, by fitting the primary bone biopsy model with a menopausal status covariate added to the model. However, the study was terminated early resulting in only 5, 5, and 2 participants having their biopsies at 1, 2, and 4 years respectively. Furthermore, 3 males would need to be removed from the model leaving 4, 3, 2 participants with bone biopsies with an additional degree of freedom consumed for the menopausal status covariate. Thus, the planned mixed models analysis was not performed since with such small samples sizes random fluctuations in the data could give misleading erroneous results.
