Abbreviations: F, relative bioavailability; CL/F, oral elimination clearance; Vc/F, volume of distribution of the central compartment; MTT, mean transit absorption time; MAT50, postmenstrual age at which clearance is 50% of the mature clearance; HILL, Hill coefficient for maturation clearance; Q/F, intercompartmental clearance; Vp/F, volume of distribution of peripheral compartment; QCSF/F, intercompartmental clearance between central and CSF compartments; fu, fraction unbound; PC, transfer multiplier between central and CSF compartments describing blood-brain penetration; Slow acetylator, reduction of elimination clearance (percent) in slow acetylator compared to fast acetylator; IIV, interindividual variability; σ, variance of the residual variability, incorporated as an additive error on the logarithmic scale; AUC0–24, area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h; Cmax, peak concentration; Tmax, time to reach peak concentration; t1/2, terminal elimination half-life.

b

Computed population mean parameter estimates from NONMEM. Parameter estimates are scaled to typical patient at 10.9 kg and 3 years.

c

Assessed by sampling importance resampling (SIR).

d

Median (min-max).
