PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 hours post dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter analysis population: all subjects enrolled and treated who had at least 1 of the PK parameters of primary interest in at least 1 treatment period. Only 73 subjects contributed to the PK analysis in the reference group as plasma concentrations for 1 subject were below the limit of quantification, except 1 time point.

AUCinf = Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 (predose) extrapolated to infinite time; measured in nanograms times hour per milliliter (ng•hr/mL).
