Outcome results

Primary

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

Area under the concentration-time curve of digoxin in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity.

Time frame: 1.5 hours (h) prior to the first dose and 20 minutes (min), 40 min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h after the first dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) set comprised all evaluable subjects who took at least 1 dose of study medication with at least 1 observation for at least 1 primary PK endpoint without any important protocol violations relevant to the PK evaluation. One subject was excluded from the PK set because the pre-dose plasma concentration of digoxin was \>5% of Cmax.
