Outcome results

Primary

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of MMX Mesalamine (5-ASA) at Steady State

AUC can be used as a measure of drug exposure. It is derived from drug concentration and time so it gives a measure how much and how long a drug stays in a body.

Time frame: 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose on day 7

Population: The Pharmacokinetic Set (PKS) consisted of all subjects in the Safety Analysis Set who generated sufficient plasma samples to allow reliable determination of Cmax and AUC. The Safety Analysis Set consisted of subjects who took at least 1 dose of investigational product and had at least 1 post-dose safety assessment.
