AUC[0-t] is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last measurable concentration.
  • 5-hydroxy Saxagliptin PK Parameter Terminal Half-life (T 1/2) [Time Frame: Periods 1, 2, 3, & 4: pre-dosing, 15, 30, 45 mins & 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 & 48 hrs post-dosing] [Designated as safety issue: No]PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. T 1/2 is the time required for the concentration of the drug to reach half of its original value in plasma.
  • 5-hydroxy Saxagliptin PK Parameter Time to Achieve the Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) [Time Frame: Periods 1, 2, 3, & 4: pre-dosing, 15, 30, 45 mins & 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 & 48 hrs post-dosing] [Designated as safety issue: No]PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. Tmax is the time taken to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration.
  • Safety: Adverse Events (AEs), Discontinuations Due to AEs, Deaths, and Serious AEs (SAEs). [Time Frame: AEs: from study drug administration Day 1/Period 1 till study discharge. SAEs: from date of written consent until 30 days after discontinuation of dosing or study participation. Duration of the study was approximately 45 days (including screening).] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a subject administered an investigational product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE=any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization (including elective surgery), results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event.
  • Safety: Clinically Significant Laboratory, Vital Sign, Physical Examination, and/or 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities [Time Frame: From Day 1/Period 1 to study discharge or premature discontinuation. Duration of study was approximately 45 days (including screening).] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Abnormalities that were considered clinically significant and/or reported as an AE by the investigator.
