CLPl/F, the apparent plasma clearance; VPl/F, the apparent plasma volume of distribution; Ka, absorption rate constant; Vm, the maximum dose rate (daily dose) at the steady state; Km, the Michaelis constant which denotes the steady-state trough concentration at half-maximal dose rate; ω, between subject variability; δ1, proportional residual error; δ2, additive residual error; θ, the coefficient of the included covariates on the parameters; CI, confidence interval; RSE, relative standard error; CYP3A5*1, CYP3A5*1*3 and CYP3A5*1*1 expresser; MM, Michaelis-Menten; Bias, prediction error.

Where NONMEM, represents the PK, parameters estimates of the final model and Bootstrap represents the PK, parameters median values obtained from the nonparametric bootstrap procedure.
