σ2, variance of residual error quantity ε; ALAG, absorption lag time; CI, confidence interval; CL/F, apparent clearance; CV, coefficient of variation; F, bioavailability; IIV, interindividual variability; Ka, rate of absorption; OLZ/SAM, combination of olanzapine and samidorphan; Q/F, intercompartmental clearance; RSE, relative standard error; Vc/F, apparent volume of central compartment; Vp/F, apparent volume of peripheral compartment; WT, time‐changing body weight.

a

Fixed at allometric exponent.

b

Fixed at estimate from previous stable model where effect was reliably estimated.

c

Dose time was not recorded in ALK3831‐A305, so imputed dose timing was used. Consequently, the change in ALAG for this study in comparison to population ALAG was estimated. ALK3831‐A305 had a 4‐week treatment period, and participants received oral study drug once daily. Pharmacokinetic samples were taken before dosing on the first day of treatment and subsequently during weeks 2 and 4 of the treatment period.

Where estimate >0.15, CV calculated as CVTVP=eωP21*100 rather than square root of ωP2*100.
