The primary end point was the percentage of patients at week 8 with supplement reductions in calcium to ≤500 mg/d and in calcitriol to ≤0.25 μg/d, while maintaining serum calcium levels between 1.875 mmol/L and the upper limit of normal.
RELAY was a dose-blinded, multicenter, 8-week study of patients with hypoparathyroidism randomized to fixed 25- or 50-μg/d doses of subcutaneous rhPTH(1-84).
