Pharmacokinetic comparison of single dose intravenous and subcutaneous anakinra in healthy volunteers*
Intravenous (100 mg)† | Subcutaneous (100 mg)† | |
---|---|---|
Healthy volunteers | 7 | 8 |
Cmax (ng/mL) | 32 193 | 1326 |
Tmax (h) | Not applicable | 4·3 |
t1/2(h) | 1·69 | 3·63 |
AUC (ng*hour/mL) | 14 658 | 13 266 |
CL (mL/min) | 122 | 134 |
Data are presented as mean values. Cmax= maximum plasma concentration. Tmax=time at which Cmax occurred. t1/2=terminal half-life. AUC=area under plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity. CL=plasma clearance.
