Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to 168 Hours (AUC0-168h) of RVT-1401
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were not estimated because the sparse PK sampling schedule did not allow for accurate estimates of these parameters.
Time frame: Pre-dose; Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29, Day 36, Day 38, Day 40, Week 7, Week 8
Population: PK Population: all participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had at least 1 post-dose PK sample assayed for RVT-1401. Only 2 non-Ctrough time point samples were collected after the first dose (on Day 3 and Day 5) and last dose (on Day 38 and Day 40). As a result, having 2 sparse time point samples did not allow to accurately estimate AUC0-168h parameter.

Only 2 non-Ctrough time point samples were collected after the first dose (on Day 3 and Day 5) and last dose (on Day 38 and Day 40). As a result, having 2 sparse time point samples did not allow to accurately estimate Cmax parameter.
