Assessment of how well predicted the multiple-dose exposure is from the single-dose data (ratio of day 14 AUC(0–5):day 1 AUC for study 2 and ratio of day 28 AUC(0-5):day 1 AUC for study 3).

AUC, area under the plasma concentration–time curve; AUC(0–5), area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time 0 to 5 h; CL/F, total apparent drug clearance; Cmax, maximum plasma drug concentration; Cmax ss, maximum plasma drug concentration at steady-state; Cmin ss, minimum plasma drug concentration at steady-state; tmax, time to reach maximum plasma drug concentration; tmax ss, time to reach maximum plasma drug concentration at steady-state; Vdss/F, apparent volume of distribution at steady-state.
