AAFP abiraterone acetate fine particle, ANOVA analysis of variance, AUC 0 area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time zero to infinity, AUC 0t area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration, CI confidence interval, C max maximum plasma concentration, OAA originator abiraterone acetate, PK pharmacokinetic, SD standard deviation

aThe 90% CI fell within the recommended 0.800–1.250 limits of bioequivalence when analyzed on a log scale
