1. Subjects who have completed treatment in Protocol PA-CL-05A (Stage 1 or Stage 2) (except subjects randomised to the PA21 low dose group of the Stage 2 primary efficacy assessment).
2. Subjects (or their legally acceptable representative) who have provided the appropriate written informed consent. Subjects must provide written informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed
including screening procedures.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 270
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 180
1. Subjects randomised to the PA21 low dose group of the Stage 2 primary efficacy assessment of Protocol PA-CL-05A.
2. Subjects with hypercalcaemia (total serum calcium >2.75 mmol/L or >11.00 mg/dL at the previous study visit in Protocol PA-CL-05A
(Week 20 for Stage 1, Week 26 for Stage 2)) (central laboratory values).
3. Subjects with hypocalcaemia (total serum calcium <1.9 mmol/L or <7.6 mg/dL at the previous study visit in Protocol PA-CL-05A (Week 20 for Stage 1, Week 26 for Stage 2)) (central laboratory values).
4. Subjects with raised alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase >3 times the upper limit of the normal range at the previous study visit in Protocol PA-CL-05A (Week 20 for Stage 1, Week 24 for Stage 2) (central laboratory values).
5. Subjects taking any prohibited medications (see Section 7.7, Prohibited Therapy and Concomitant Treatment, page 41).
6. Subjects who are pregnant (e.g., positive human chorionic gonadotropin test at Week 20 Protocol PA-CL-05A), breast feeding or, if of childbearing potential, not using adequate contraceptive precautions. Subjects must
agree to use adequate contraception during the study and for 1 month after the last dose of the study medication. Adequate methods of birth control are defined as those which result in a
low failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intra-uterine devices, sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner.
Non-childbearing potential includes being surgically sterilised at least 6 months prior to the study or post-menopausal, defined as amenorrhea for at least 12 months.
7. Subjects with serum ferritin >2,000 mcg/L (>4.494 pmol/L) at the previous study visit in Protocol PA-CL-05A (Week 20 for Stage 1, Week 24 for Stage 2) (central laboratory values).
8. Subjects with any kind of disorder that compromises the ability of the subject to give written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures.
