Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Part A, B and C: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC 0-inf) of Tepotinib

Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 hours post-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period

AUC0-inf was calculated by combining AUC0-t and AUCextra. AUC extra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast/ lambda z, where Clast is the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration is at or above the Lower Limit of quantification (LLOQ) and lambda z is the apparent terminal rate constant determined by log-linear regression analysis of the measured plasma concentrations of the terminal log-linear phase.

Part A, B and C: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC 0-t) of Tepotinib

Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 hours post-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period

Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last sampling time t at which the concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). AUC0-t was to be calculated according to the mixed log-linear trapezoidal rule.

Part A, B and C: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Tepotinib

Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 hours post-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period

Cmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.
