a

Data include a 5-mg single dose (n = 6) and simulation of 100 trials (n = 6/trial), with a decision for a 15-mg single dose.

b

Data include 5- and 15-mg single doses (n = 12) and simulation of 1,000 trials (n = 6/trial), with a decision for a 25-mg single dose.

c

Data include 5-, 15-, and 25-mg single doses (n = 18) and simulation of 1,000 trials (n = 6/trial), with a decision to end the single dose.

d

Data include 5-, 15-, and 25-mg single doses (n = 18) and simulation (steady state) of 1,000 trials (n = 8/trial), with a decision to initiate with 5 mg once daily.
