a

The formulation effect (dispersible tablet versus film-coated tablet) on F1 and MAT was fixed to the estimates from the population PK model including adult bioequivalence study (trial 245) data.

b

Fixed based on the estimates from the adult population PK model using data with a dose range of ∼50 to 400 mg (29).

c

CL/F, clearance; Vc/F, central volume of distribution; Q/F, intercompartmental clearance; Vp/F, peripheral volume of distribution; MAT, mean absorption time; CLM/F, clearance of DM-6705; VcM/F, central volume of distribution of DM-6705; QM/F, intercompartmental clearance of DM-6705; VpM/F, peripheral volume of distribution of DM-6705; IIV, interindividual variability; IOV, interoccasional variability; CV%, percent coefficient of variation; F1, bioavailability; FM, fraction metabolized; RV, residual variability; %RSE, percent relative standard error. Standard errors of estimates are obtained by the sampling importance resampling (SIR) approach. Covariate effects for delamanid are modeled as follows: CL/F (L/h) = 17.2 × [BW (kg)/33.5]0.75, Vc/F (L) = 346 × [BW (kg)/33.5]1.0, Q/F (L/h) = 62.4 × [BW (kg)/33.5]0.75, Vp/F (L) = 296 × [BW (kg)/33.5]1.0, MAT = 2.73 × (1 + 0.495) (if the formulation is a dispersible tablet), and F1 = 1.0{1 − 0.201 × [2 − age (years)]} (if age is >2.0 years) × (1 − 0.158) (if the formulation is a dispersible tablet) × (1 + 0.580) (if the dose is ≤50 mg). Covariate effects for DM-6705 are modeled as follows: CLM/F (L/h) = 54.2 × [BW (kg)/33.5]0.75, VcM/F (L) = 77.0 × [BW (kg)/33.5]1.0, QM/F (L/h) = 425 × [BW (kg)/33.5]0.75, VpM/F (L) = 13,150 × [BW (kg)/33.5]1.0, and FM = 1.0 × {1 − 0.0654 × [6 − age (years)]} (if age is <6 years).
