- Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time (AUC Infinity) [ Time Frame: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours post dose ]AUCinf = Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 (predose) extrapolated to infinite time; measured in nanograms times hour per milliliter (ng•hr/mL).
- Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) [ Time Frame: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours post dose ]AUClast = area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 (predose) to the time of the last measureable concentration (Clast); measured in nanograms times hour per milliliter (ng•hr/mL).
- Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours post dose ]Cmax = maximum observed plasma concentration. Measured in nanograms per milliter (ng/mL).
- Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) [ Time Frame: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours post dose ]Tmax = time (hours) to maximum plasma concentration (Cmax).
