Area Under the Curve 0 to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

Area under the concentration-time curve of empagliflozin (empa) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity. Note the standard deviation is actually the coefficient of variation (CV (%)).

Time frame: 30 minutes (mins) before drug administration and 20min, 40min, 1 hour (h), 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 24h, 34h, 48h, 72h after drug administration

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) set included all subjects who took at least one dose of study medication and who provided evaluable data for at least one observation for at least one primary PK endpoint without important protocol violations relevant to the evaluation of PK.
