ELF epithelial lining fluid, AUC area under the concentration-time curve, PO by mouth, IV intravenously, q24h every 24 h, SD standard deviation

aSampling time after the last dose

bTotal plasma and ELF concentrations expressed as mean ± SD

cBased on the ratio of AUC24 in ELF to AUC24 in unbound plasma, calculated using each participant’s derived unbound fraction

dBased on the ratio of AUC168 in ELF to AUC168 in unbound plasma, assuming 93% protein binding in plasma

eThirty-seven plasma concentrations were reported at each sampling time; values expressed as median ± SD
