ALP alkaline phosphatase, BL baseline, LLN lower limit of normal, LSM least-squares mean (estimated using models that accounted for Rickets Severity Score and other variables at BL), TmP/GFR maximum rate of tubular phosphate reabsorption/glomerular filtrate rate, ULN upper limit of normal, wk week

*p = 0.002, **p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001 vs BL

aScores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe disease (blinded assessment of prespecified radiographic abnormalities at the wrist and knee at a single timepoint)

bScores range from − 3 to + 3, with negative scores indicating worsening, 0 no change, and positive scores healing (blinded side-by-side assessment of radiographs of the wrist and knee obtained at two timepoints)
