Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration [AUC (0-t)] of Bapineuzumab

AUC is a measure of the serum concentration of the drug over time. AUC (0-t) is area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to time of last quantifiable concentration (0-t). Participants who received bapineuzumab were reported.

Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time [AUC (0 - ∞)] of Bapineuzumab

AUC is a measure of the serum concentration of the drug over time. AUC (0 - ∞) is area under the serum concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞). Participants who received bapineuzumab were reported.

Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) of Bapineuzumab

Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical blood volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Steady state volume of distribution (Vss) is the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state. Participants who received bapineuzumab were reported.

Mean Residence Time of Bapineuzumab

MRT is average time for which the drug molecules resides in the body, after administration. It is calculated as area under the serum concentration versus time first moment curve from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (AUMC [0 - ∞]) divided by area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (AUC[0 - ∞]). AUMC (0-∞) is calculated as AUMC(0-inf)= AUMCt + [(t x Ct) / kel] + (Ct / kel^2). AUMCt is the area under the first moment curve from zero time to time t calculated using the trapezoidal method, Ct is the concentration at time t and kel is the terminal phase rate constant.
