Primary

Area Under Curve From 0 to ∞ Hours (AUC0-∞)

AUC0-∞ represents the area under the concentration curve of the analyte in plasma from 0 extrapolated to infinity.

Time frame: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours post

Population: This subject set includes all evaluable subjects of the treated set who were assigned to the final dose groups and who provide at least one observation for at least one primary (PK) endpoint without important protocol violations relevant to the evaluation of PK.
