- Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Positive Response During Dosing Period 1 [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 ]Positive response is defined as having two consecutive >= 30% reductions from baseline in intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) or two consecutive iPTH values in the target range between 150 picograms (pg)/milliliters (mL) to 300 pg/mL (16.5-33.0 picomole[pmol]/L).
- Incidence of Hypercalcemia During Dosing Period 1 [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 ]Incidence of hypercalcemia is defined as two consecutive, post-baseline, corrected calcium measurements above the normal participants's age-specific upper limit.

- Percentage of Participants Who Achieve a Positive Response During Dosing Periods 1 and 2 Combined [ Time Frame: Up to Week 24 ]Positive response is defined as having two consecutive >= 30% reductions from baseline in iPTH or two consecutive iPTH values in the target range between 150 pg/mL to 300 pg/mL (16.5-33.0 picomole[pmol]/L).
