NOTE. The pharmacokinetic parameters for the two patients studied at the 1,150 mg/m2 dosage level on course 1 day 1 for lapatinib were Cmax = 2.4 and 3.2 μg/mL, tmax = 3.1 and 3.1, and AUC0-12 = 11.5 and 26.7 μg/mL × hours.

Abbreviations: Cmax, maximum plasma concentration; tmax, time to maximum plasma concentration; AUC, area under the [plasma concentration-time] curve; N/A, not available.
