Pharmacokinetic - Mean AUC24

Approximately nine sparse pharmacokinetic (PK) samples were collected from each participant under steady-state conditions. These samples were taken at pre-dose, 1-3 hours post-dose, and/or 4-7 hours post-dose during Weeks 2, 6, and 13. The individual pharmacokinetic parameters for NNZ-2591, including half-life (t1/2) and area under the curve over 24 hours (AUC24), were derived using subject-level concentration-time profiles from the study population model.

Time frame: Pre-dose, 1-3 h post-dose and/or 4-7 h post-dose at Weeks 2, 6 and 13.

Population: All participants enrolled in this study who receive the study drug through to the morning dose of Week 2 (Visit 5) as a minimum, and who underwent PK sample collection at least one of the specified post-dose time point(s).
