Notes:

a

Nineteen runs with minimization terminated were excluded when calculating bootstrap results;

b

V2/F, V3/F, and KA parameters were fixed to the obtained by using plasma-concentration data from PK and safety studies. Correlation (Cl/F–V2/F) calculated as covariance (Cl/F–V2/F)/square root (variance [Cl/F] × variance [V2/F]).

Abbreviations: Cl/F, apparent clearance; CV, coefficient of variation; F, bioavailability; IIV, interindividual variability; KA, first-order absorption-rate constant; PK, pharmacokinetic; Q/F, apparent intercompartmental clearance; RSE, relative standard error; RV, residual variability; V2/F, apparent central volume of distribution; V3/F, apparent peripheral volume of distribution.
