Abbreviations: AUC0–t=area under the concentration–time curve from time zero to the time of last observation; AUC0–∞=area under the concentration–time curve from time zero to infinity; CL/f=apparent oral clearance; Cmax=maximal concentration; FOLFIRI=5-fluorouracil/folinic acid/irinotecan; Tmax=time of maximum concentration; t1/2=apparent half-life; Vz/f=apparent oral volume of distribution.

Pharmacokinetics of pimasertib following single 45 and 60 mg doses on day 1 administered concomitantly with FOLFIRI (test) and following single 45 and 60 mg doses on day 8 administered alone (reference).
