- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of patients with adverse events up to 36 days Number of patients with clinically relevant findings in vital signs up to 7 days after last drug administration Number of patients with clinically relevant findings in 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram) up to 7 days after last drug administration Number of patients with clinically relevant laboratory findings up to 7 days after last drug administration Assessment of tolerability by investigator on a 4-point scale up to 7 days after last drug administration
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma (Cmax ) for several time points up to 4 days Time from dosing to maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma (tmax) for several time points up to 4 days Renal clearance of the analyte from zero to 24 h after drug administration (CLR,0-24) for several time points up to 4 days Minimum concentration of the analyte in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval τ (Cmin,ss) up to 4 days Accumulation ratio (RA) based on Cmax for several time points up to 4 days RA based on AUC for several time points up to 4 days Linearity index (LI) of the analyte in plasma up to 4 days Area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC) for several time points up to 4 days The percentage of the AUC 0-∞ that is obtained by extrapolation (%AUCtz-∞) for several time points up to 4 days Terminal rate constant in plasma (λz) for several time points up to 4 days Terminal half-life of the analyte in plasma (t1/2) for several time points up to 4 days Mean residence time of the analyte in the body after p.o. administration (MRTpo) for several time points up to 4 days Apparent clearance of the analyte in plasma following extravascular administration (CL/F) for several time points up to 4 days Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz following an extravascular administration (Vz/F) for several time points up to 4 days Amount of analyte that is eliminated in urine from zero to 24 h after drug administration (Ae0-24) for several time points up to 4 days Fraction of analyte eliminated in urine from zero to 24 h after drug administration (fe0-24) for several time points up to 4 days
