a

BC = back-calculated from in vivo data, PE = parameter estimate, SF = scaling factor.

b

PGX = genotype, N.S. = not specified.

c

Data sets used in model verification included: (A) Single dose PK, (B) alternative dosing regimen, (C) alternative formulation, (D) alternative population, (E) DDI.

d

Acceptance criteria fell into 5 categories: (1) Not specified, (2) Ratio of PK parameter(s) must be within 30% of observed ratio, (3) Ratio of PK parameter(s) must be within 2 fold of observed ratio, (4) PK parameters must be within 30% of observed parameters, (5) PK parameters must be within 2 fold of observed parameters.
