Parameter estimates for logistic regression model for probability of being cured versus CSF, Css,min, and model estimated plasma AUC in a 6-h dosing intervala

Parameter by enantiomerb Median (5th and 95th percentiles):

a

CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; Css,min, average trough concentration at steady state. The estimates are presented as the median and 5th and 95th percentiles based on 1,000 data sets generated by a nonparametric bootstrap of the original data set.

b

CSF concentrations are the average concentrations on days 10 and 15 (n = 2). Css,min is the average plasma concentration prior to the next dose or 6 h after the last dose (n = 3). AUCτ is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve in the dosing interval (τ = 6 h). The total eflornithine is the sum of the l- and d-eflornithine concentrations. The bootstrap estimates correspond to parameters by bootstrapping 1,000 data sets for each enantiomer and exposure measurement. Runs without successful conclusion (“MINIMIZATION SUCCESSFUL”) were omitted for analysis (n = 1 to 29); 979 to 999 runs were included when calculating the percentiles.
