Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Change from Baseline (CFB) in mean serum phosphorus level at the end of the dose cycle [ Time Frame: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Change in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain score over time [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 ]
   Change from baseline to post-baseline visits in BPI-Q3 (Worst Pain) score as averaged from daily diary scores recorded over 1 week and the study visit score. The BPI evaluates the condition of all pain over the previous 24 hours. Two dimensions are measured: pain severity (worst, least, average, and now) and the impact of pain on functioning (pain interference with general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others, and sleep). Question 3 of the short-form BPI (BPI-Q3) asks subjects to rate their pain at its worst in the last 24 hours on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).
2. Change in BPI Pain Severity score and Pain Interference score over time [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 ]
   Change from baseline to post-baseline visits in BPI pain severity score as averaged from daily diary scores recorded over 1 week and the study visit score. The BPI evaluates the condition of all pain over the previous 24 hours. Two dimensions are measured: pain severity (worst, least, average, and now) and the impact of pain on functioning (pain interference with general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others, and sleep). The severity of pain in the last 24 hours is rated on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).
3. Change in BPI Pain Interference score over time [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 ]
   Change from baseline to post-baseline visits in BPI pain interference score as recorded on the day of the study visit. The BPI evaluates the condition of all pain over the previous 24 hours. Two dimensions are measured: pain severity (worst, least, average, and now) and the impact of pain on functioning (pain interference with general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others, and sleep). Pain interference in the last 24 hours is rated on a scale of 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes).
4. Change in the Stiffness and Physical Function domains of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) over time [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 ]
   The WOMAC is a 24-item participant-reported questionnaire with two domains, Stiffness (2 questions) and Physical Function (17 questions) over the previous 48 hours. The WOMAC is administered in a 5-point Likert-scale format using descriptors of none, mild, moderate, severe, and extreme corresponding to an ordinal scale of 0-4. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse stiffness and functional limitations. Scores are normalized to a 0-100 metric where 0 was the best health state and 100 the worst.
5. Change in the health related QOL assessment by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function over time [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 ]
   The PROMIS was developed by the National Institutes of Health and uses domain-specific measures to assess patient well-being (Broderick et al. 2013), (NIH 2015). It uses a T-score metric in which 50 is the mean of a relevant reference population and 10 is the standard deviation (SD) of that population. For the Physical Function Domain, increases indicate greater mobility.
6. The proportion of subjects achieving mean serum phosphorus levels above the lower limit of normal (LLN; 2.5 mg/dL [0.81 mmol/L]) at the end of the dosing cycle [ Time Frame: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 ]
7. The proportion of subjects achieving mean serum phosphorus levels above the LLN (2.5 mg/dL [0.81 mmol/L]) at the mid-point of dosing cycle [ Time Frame: Weeks 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22 ]
8. CFB in mean serum phosphorus level at the mid-time point of dosing cycle [ Time Frame: Weeks 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22 ]
9. Mean percent CFB in serum phosphorus levels averaged at the end of dose cycles [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
10. Cumulative exposure: area under curve (AUC) of serum phosphorus [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
11. Change in serum 1,25(OH)2D over time [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
12. Change in urinary phosphorus over time [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
13. Change in ratio of renal tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR; algorithm method) over time [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]

Other Outcome Measures:

1. Radiologic healing or resolution of pre-existing fractures and/or pseudofractures, as defined by skeletal survey at Baseline and subsequent targeted radiography [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 ]
2. Change in enthesopathy spur at the calcaneus measured by lateral foot X-rays [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 24 and 48 ]
3. Change in 6-minute walking test (6MWT) over time [ Time Frame: Weeks 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 ]
4. Safety of KRN23 by studying the number, severity and relatedness of Adverse Events (including laboratory and imaging assessments) [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 56 ]
   Incidence, frequency, and severity of AEs and SAEs, including clinically significant changes in laboratory assessments as well as ECHO, ECG, ultrasound, vital sign, X-Ray images and Anti-KRN23 antibody.
5. Pharmacokinetics: KRN23 concentrations [ Time Frame: Week 0, 1, 2, 4, 21, 22, 24, 36, 48 and 56 ]
