Primary and secondary pharmacokinetic endpoints

Pharmacokinetic endpoint Definition
Primary endpoints
 AUC(0-t) AUC from time 0 to the last sampling time
 AUC(0-inf) AUC from time 0 to infinity
Cmax Maximal concentration
Secondary endpoints
 AUC% extrap obs Percentage of AUC extrapolated to infinity from Tlast to infinity based on observed value for concentration at Tlast
Kel Elimination rate constant
t1/2 Terminal elimination half-life
tmax Time to reach peak plasma concentration

AUC, area under the plasma concentration–time curve.
