Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients With Serum Calcium <2.07 mmol/L at 9-11 Days After Receiving Zoledronic Acid.at Visit 2 (days 9 - 11 post-infusion), visit 3 (day 30)

To be included in the analysis, patients were required to have a baseline serum calcium of at least 2.07 mmol/L and at least one serum calcium measurement 9-11 days post-infusion of zoledronic acid. In case of multiple assessments, for baseline visit the last measurement prior to the first dose was used in the analysis, and for Visits 2 and 3, the lowest serum calcium in the visit window was used. hypocalcemia was defined as treatment-emergent serum calcium \<2.07 mmol/L at 9-11 days after the study drug infusion.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Newly Occurring Post-baseline Hypocalcemia Symptoms Based on Hypocalcemia Questionnaire at End of Study Visit 2 or Visit 3 (Safety Population)End of study: Visit 2 (days 9 - 11 post-infusion) or visit 3 (day 30)

The end of study is not a separate time point. It is the last post-baseline, for majority the end of study was visit 2. There were 2 patients who had the end of study at Visit 3. If calcium at visit 2 was abnormal it was measured again at visit 3.

Change From Baseline in Serum Calcium (mmol/L) - Safety PopulationBaseline, Visit 2 (days 9 - 11 post-infusion), visit 3 (day 30)

Change from baseline = endpoint - baseline, at each time point, only participants with a value at baseline and that time point are included in the change from baseline column. In case of multiple assessments, for baseline visit the last measurement prior to the first dose was used in the analysis, and for Visits 2 and 3, the lowest serum calcium in the visit window was used.
