Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Comparison of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-72): calculated by modelling a pharmacokinetic curve from plasma concentrations cabozantinib, obtained by pharmacokinetic samples from 0 to 72 hours after ingestion of cabozantinib.

It is defined as comparable if the geometric mean ratio is within the range of 0.8 – 1.25.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"AUC0-72 calculated by modelling a pharmacokinetic curve from plasma concentrations obtained by PK samples from 0 to 72 hours after ingestion; comparability defined as geometric mean ratio within 0.8–1.25."}
