- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum measured concentration of analyte in plasma (Cmax) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Amount of analyte eliminated in urine from the time point t1 to time point t2 (Aet1-t2) up to 80 hours after last drug administration
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time from dosing to maximum measured concentration (tmax) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over a uniform dosing interval τ after administration of the first dose (AUCτ,1) up to 32 hours after drug administration Terminal rate constant in plasma (λz) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz following an extravascular dose (Vz/F) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Amount of analyte eliminated in urine from the time point t1 to time point t2 (Aet1-t2) up to 80 hours after last drug administration Fraction of analyte eliminated in urine from time point t1 to time point t2 (fet1-t2) up to 80 hours after last drug administration Renal clearance of the analyte from the time point t1 until the time point t2 (CLR,t1-t2) up to 80 hours after last drug administration Average concentration of the analyte in plasma at steady-state (Cavg) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Terminal half-life of the analyte in plasma (t1/2) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Mean residence time of the analyte in the body (MRTpo) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Total/apparent clearance in plasma after extravascular administration (CL/F) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Minimum concentration of the analyte in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval τ (Cmin,ss) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Predose concentration of the analyte in plasma at steady state immediately before administration of the next dose (Cpre,ss) predose on days 1-4 Linearity index (LI) up to 104 hours after last drug administration Accumulation ratio (RA) based on Cmax (RA,Cmax,N) up to 104 hours after last drug administration RA,AUC,N based on AUC0-τ up to 104 hours after last drug administration Number of subjects with clinically relevant findings in vital sign parameters (blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR)) up to 14 days after last drug administration Number of subjects with clinically relevant findings in 12-lead electrocardiogram up to 14 days after last drug administration Number of subjects with abnormal changes in laboratory parameters up to 14 days after last drug administration Number of subjects with abnormal findings in physical examination up to 14 days after last drug administration Occurrence of adverse events up to 47 days Tolerability assessed by investigator on a 4-point scale within 14 days after last drug administration
