Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Hypocalcemia
Clinically significant hypocalcemia is defined as albumin-adjusted calcium \< 7.0 mg/dL or symptomatic hypocalcemia. Symptomatic hypocalcemiais is defined as both a clinical adverse event of hypocalcemia and a concomitant symptom of hypocalcemia (e.g., hypoesthesia, paresthesia, muscle cramps, seizure, prolonged QT interval) that occurred along with the hypocalcemia event or decreased serum calcium levels.
Time frame: 113 days
Number of Participants With Hypocalcemia Determined by CTCAE v.4.0 Criteria
The severity of hypocalcemia (a low concentration of calcium, corrected for albumin, in the blood) was graded according to the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) v.4.0 criteria: Grade 1: albumin-adjusted serum calcium \< lower limit of normal (LLN; 9.2 mg/dL) to 8.0 mg/dL; Grade 2: albumin-adjusted serum calcium \< 8.0 to 7.0 mg/dL; Grade 3: albumin-adjusted serum calcium \< 7.0 to 6.0 mg/dL; Grade 4: albumin-adjusted serum calcium \< 6.0 mg/dL.
Time frame: 113 days
Number of Participants With Hypophosphatemia Determined by CTCAE v.4.0 Criteria
The severity of hypophosphatemia (a low concentration of phosphates in the blood) was graded according to the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) v.4.0 criteria: Grade 1: \< LLN (3 mg/dL) - 2.5 mg/dL; Grade 2: \< 2.5 - 2.0 mg/dL; Grade 3: \< 2.0 - 1.0 mg/dL; Grade 4: \< 1.0 mg/dL.
Time frame: 113 days
Number of Participants With Hypomagnesemia Determined by CTCAE v.4.0 Criteria
The severity of hypomagnesemia (a low concentration of magnesium in the blood) was graded according to the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) v.4.0 criteria: Grade 1: \< LLN (1.5 mg/dL) - 1.2 mg/dL; Grade 2: \< 1.2 - 0.9 mg/dL; Grade 3: \< 0.9 - 0.7 mg/dL; Grade 4: \< 0.7 mg/dL.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events
The severity of each adverse event (AE) was graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0. The investigator assessed whether AEs were possibly related to study drug by answering the question: "Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the investigational product?" Abnormal laboratory findings without clinical significance (based on the investigator's judgment) were not recorded as AEs, however, laboratory value changes that required treatment or adjustment in current therapy were considered AEs. A serious adverse event is defined as an adverse event that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria: • fatal, • life-threatening (places the participant at immediate risk of death), • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, • congenital anomaly/birth defect, and/or • other medically important serious event.
