| E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | Information not present in EudraCT | 
| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| to examine the long-term safety of two different dosage regiments of zoledronic acid over an additional 12 months in pediatric patients who have completed one-year of treatment of zoledronic acid in the core CZOL446H2202 study, with focus on general safety and renal safety. |  | 
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | 
| to assess continued efficacy, compared to baseline (visit 1 of core) : •	% change in lumbar spine bone mineral density  at mo 18 & 24
 •	change in Z score of lumbar spine at mo18 & 24
 •	# clinical fractures per patient over 12-mo ext &  24-mo total
 •	change  in bone resorption / formation markers at mo15, 18, 21 & 24
 •              change in supine length/height at mo 15, 18, 21 & 24
 •	change  in bone pain
 •              change in bone mineral content of total body at mo 18 & 24
 •	change in cortical bone thickness at mo 24
 •	change in vertebral spine length at mo 24
 •	change in grip strength at mo 15, 18, 21 & 24
 •	% of patients need treatment before scheduled dosing visits during the extension

| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Information not present in EudraCT | 
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria | 
| •	Children, male or female, between 1 year and 17 years of age at visit 1 of the extension, all inclusive, who have completed 1 year treatment of zoledronic acid or pamidronate in CZOL446H2202 trial. |  | 
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria | 
| •	Any disease or planned therapy which will interfere with the procedures or data collection of this trial. •	Any disease or abnormality that would prevent accurate bone-mineral density measurements of the lumbar spine (e.g., intra-abdominal calcification that may prohibit accurate data collection/interpretation; severe scoliosis, kyphosis, or metal implants, etc.)
 •	Any surgical bone-lengthening procedure, e.g. Ilizarov procedure planned/scheduled to occur during the trial.
 •	Female patients of child-bearing potential are eligible only if they are: not pregnant (serum β-hCG pregnancy-test negative)/non-lactating; are sexually abstinent or are surgically sterile (tubal ligation or hysterectomy): and if sexually active, must be practicing a medically acceptable form of birth control, defined as the use of an IUD, a barrier method with spermicide, condoms, subdermal implant or oral contraceptives.  Females of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must agree to continue to practice their birth control during the trial and at least 1 year after completing the trial and must consent to a pregnancy test prior to every dose administration.
 •	Renal abnormality (please see section 7.5.1): defined as a serum-creatinine  value above the upper limit of normal (age- and sex-matched) or  a urine dipstick greater than 2 + protein.
 •	Hypocalcemia: any value (age-matched) below the normal range.
 •	History or evidence of an intestinal malabsorption syndrome.
 •	Patients with a significant drug-related adverse event in the original protocol.
 •	Patients who discontinued treatment in the original protocol ZOL446H2202.
 
 |  | 
| E.5 End points | 
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) | 
| •	Bone-mineral density (BMD) measurements (lumbar spine and total body) by dual energy absorptiometry (DEXA) •	X-rays of the vertebral spine and the  left hand: to determine vertebral spine length, bone cortical thickness and number of clinical fractures.
 •	Specialized serum tests to evaluate bone resorption and formation will be performed for C-telopeptide (CTX), N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone specific alkaline phosphatase (SAP).
 •	Bone Pain Assessment using the pediatric Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale.
 •	Grip Strength using dynamometry
 •	Clinical fractures
 •	Height using stadiometer
 •	Incidence of patients who need treatment before scheduled dosing visit.
