a

AUC0–24 h, area under the plasma-time concentration curve from time 0 to 24 h; BID, twice-daily; Cmax, peak (maximum) concentration of drug in plasma; CL/F, oral clearance; ND, not determined; Rac, accumulation ratio; t1/2, z, terminal phase elimination half-life; tmax, time of peak concentration (Cmax).

b

Delamanid was administered in combination with an optimized background regimen. All values are expressed as median (range). Included for comparison are published PK data from adults with multidrug-resistant TB receiving delamanid (10).

c

Group 1 and group 2 received adult formulation delamanid (2× 50 mg tablet and 1× 50 mg tablet, respectively).

d

Group 3 received delamanid pediatric formulation (1× 25 mg dispersible tablet).

e

Group 4 received delamanid pediatric formulation (administered as 5 mg dispersible tablets) according to their baseline body weights, i.e., patients who were >10 kg received 10 mg BID, >8 and ≤10 kg received 5 mg BID, and ≥5.5 kg and ≤8 kg received 5 mg QD.
