a

Data were obtained from reference 8.

b

CCV, constant coefficient of variation; CLd, distribution clearance for the peripheral compartment for ceftaroline; CLi, intrinsic ceftaroline clearance for the saturable elimination pathway; CLlin, linear ceftaroline clearance; Km, ceftaroline concentration producing 50% of CLi; ω2, interindividual variability; σ2, residual variability; Vc, ceftaroline central volume of distribution; Vp, = volume of distribution for the peripheral compartment for ceftaroline.

c

Population mean CLi (liters/h) = 11.6 · (CLCRj/102)0.441 −0.0883 · (agej − 36) + 4.11 · POPj, where POPj is an indicator variable in the jth subject with a value of 1 for phase 2/3 patients and 0 otherwise.

d

Population mean CLlin (liters/h) = 3.06 · (CLCRj/102)0.343.

e

Population mean Vc (liters) = 8.67 + 7.02 · POPj.

f

Population mean CLd (liters/h) = 8.59 + 4.88 · MALEj, where MALEj is an indicator variable in the jth subject with a value of 1 for males and 0 for females.

g

Population mean Vp (liters) = 11.7 + 2.87 · MALEj.

h

CV, coefficient of variation.
