Final parameter estimates for the two-compartment caspofungin population pharmacokinetic model
| Pharmacokinetic parametera | Mean | SD | Median | CV% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ke (h−1) | 0.09 | 0.04 | 0.08 | 42.38 |
| V0 (liters/kg) | 7.71 | 2.70 | 7.20 | 34.98 |
| kcp (h−1) | 0.44 | 0.38 | 0.28 | 88.02 |
| kpc (h−1) | 0.46 | 0.35 | 0.34 | 75.98 |
Ke, elimination rate constant; V0, volume of distribution; kcp, rate constant for the caspofungin distribution from the central to the peripheral compartment; kpc, rate constant for the caspofungin distribution from the peripheral to the central compartment.
