Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • Area Under Curve From 0 to tz Hours (AUC0-tz) of Metformin [Time Frame: 0:20, 0:40, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 34, 48, 72 hours] [Designated as safety issue: No]AUC0-tz represents the area under the concentration curve of metformin in plasma from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable plasma contentration of the analyte. Note, the geometric mean is actually an adjusted geometric mean.
  • Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Metformin [Time Frame: 0:20, 0:40, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 34, 48, 72 hours] [Designated as safety issue: No]Cmax represents the maximum concentration of metformin in plasma. Note, the geometric mean is actually an adjusted geometric mean.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Area Under Curve From 0 to Infinity Hours (AUC0-infty) of Metformin [Time Frame: 0:20, 0:40, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 34, 48, 72 hours] [Designated as safety issue: No]AUC0-infty represents the area under the concentration curve of metformin in plasma from time 0 extrapolated to infinity. Note, the geometric mean is actually an adjusted geometric mean.
  • Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Metformin [Time Frame: 0:20, 0:40, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 34, 48, 72 hours] [Designated as safety issue: No]Time from dosing to the maximum concentration of metformin in plasma.
  • Terminal Half-life t1/2 of Metformin [Time Frame: 0:20, 0:40, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 34, 48, 72 hours] [Designated as safety issue: No]The terminal half-life of metformin in plasma is denoted by t1/2.
