Primary Objective: Evaluated the effect of Hectorol® capsules in reducing elevated levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). Secondary Objectives: * Evaluated the safety profile of Hectorol® capsules versus Rocaltrol® (calcitriol) capsules. * Determined the pharmacokinetic profile of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 after administration of Hectorol®.
The total study duration per participant was approximately up to 28 weeks.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved 2 Consecutive >=30% Reductions in Intact Parathyroid Hormone From Baseline up to Week 12
Blood samples were collected for assessment of iPTH levels. The percentage of participants meeting the iPTH \>=30% reduction from baseline at 2 consecutive study visits up to Week 12 was calculated. Two consecutive \>=30% reductions in iPTH from baseline up to Week 12 was defined as two consecutive 30% or greater reductions at any two consecutive measurements from baseline up to Week 12 with on-treatment strategy applied. The confidence interval (CI) was estimated using Clopper-Pearson method. The baseline value is defined as the last available value before the first dose of study treatment. Percentages are rounded off to the tenth decimal place.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 12
Percent Change in Intact Parathyroid Hormone From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24
Blood samples were collected for assessment of iPTH levels. The percentage changes from baseline iPTH, the effects over the treatment period time was explored using a mixed model for repeated measures approach (MMRM) as appropriate. The baseline value is defined as the last available value before the first dose of study treatment.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Weeks 12 and 24
Number of Hypercalcemia Events up to Weeks 12 and 24
Hypercalcemia was defined as albumin corrected serum calcium \>10.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Here, data for number of hypercalcemia events are reported.
Time frame: Up to Weeks 12 and 24
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant who was administered a pharmaceutical product, and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE occurred or was detected from the date the participant signed the informed consent form, irrespective of study periods without administration of the study treatment. TEAEs were defined as the AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the treatment-emergent period (defined as time from administration of study treatment \[Day 1\] to last administration of study treatment + 4 days). SAE: Any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event.
