TABLE 4.
Pharmacokinetic parameters of group 1 and group 2a
| Pharmacokinetic parameter | Values |
Pb | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 (n = 22) | Group 2 (n = 33) | ||
| CLm/F (liters/h/1.85 m2) | 17.9 (9.1–32.9) | 13.8 (5.4–54.3) | 0.035 |
| V/F (liters/kg LBM) | 0.844 (0.545–1.514) | 0.637 (0.325–1.162) | 0.002 |
| ka (1/h) | 0.90 (0.22–3.24) | 1.33 (0.26–5.37) | 0.078 |
| Tlag (h) | 1.11 (0.46–2.92) | 0.77 (0.30–2.12) | 0.017 |
Data are presented as geometric mean (range). CLm/F, apparent metabolic clearance in liters per hour normalized to a body surface area of 1.85 m2; V/F, apparent volume of distribution in liters per kg of lean body mass; ka, absorption constant in 1/h; Tlag, lag time in the absorption phase in hours.
Data from comparisons of groups 1 and 2 were tested using the Mann-Whitney U test.
