Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration [AUC (0-t)]Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

AUC (0-t)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (predose) to time of last quantifiable concentration (0-t).

Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time [AUC (0 - ∞)]Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

AUC (0 - ∞)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (predose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞).

Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2)Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half.

Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F)Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

Terminal-Phase Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

Vz/F was calculated as the ratio of clearance (CL) to terminal disposition rate constant (λz).
