Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary outcome measurement will be area under the plasma concentration*<br /><br>time curve (AUC) from time 0 to infinitive (inf) post infusion (AUC0* inf)<br /><br>values of AmBisome. The AUC0inf will be determined by use of the linear up, log<br /><br>down trapezoidal rule. Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) will be directly<br /><br>observed from the data. The elimination rate constant (ke) will be determined<br /><br>by linear regression of the terminal points of the log-linear plasma<br /><br>concentration time curve. Clearance (CL) will be calculated as dose/AUC0* inf.<br /><br>Volume of distribution (Vd) will be calculated as dose/AUC0-inf * ke. </p><br>
