C0=back-extrapolated time 0 plasma drug concentration (bortezomib alone); Cmax=observed maximum plasma drug concentration (docetaxel alone); AUC0−t=area under plasma concentration time curve from time 0 to last time point with measurable drug concentration; AUC0−∞=area under plasma concentration time curve extrapolated to infinity; T½,z=apparent plasma half-life; T½,z (24-h)=apparent plasma half-life in patients with measurable plasma concentrations at 24 h post-dose; CL=total body clearance; CV=coefficient of variance; Vss=volume of distribution at steady state; Vz=apparent volume of distribution in terminal elimination phase.
