AUC inf  area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity; C max maximum observed concentration; PK pharmacokinetic; V ss volume of distribution at steady state; t 1/2 terminal half-life

aNumber of patients with at least one PK parameter evaluable

bPlasma DM1 concentrations were below the limit of quantification at the majority of time points and, therefore, no formal PK analysis was possible
