The count of the number of packed red blood cell transfusions an infant receives during the entire course of their initial hospital stay.
First-order absorption rate constant (Ka) estimated using a population pharmacokinetic model. The estimate was derived from plasma erythropoietin concentration data collected at multiple time points following dosing throughout the 28-day study period.
Bioavailability estimated using a population pharmacokinetic target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) model. Bioavailability represents the fraction of the administered dose reaching the systemic circulation and is reported as a unitless proportion ranging from 0 to 1. The estimate was derived from plasma erythropoietin concentration data collected at multiple time points following dosing throughout the 28-day study period.
Central volume of distribution (Vc) estimated using a population pharmacokinetic target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) model. The estimate was derived from plasma erythropoietin concentration data collected at multiple time points following dosing throughout the 28-day study period.
Peripheral volume of distribution (Vp) estimated using a population pharmacokinetic target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) model. The estimate was derived from plasma erythropoietin concentration data collected at multiple time points following dosing throughout the 28-day study period.

| Epoetin Alpha study 1 | EXPERIMENTAL | Epoetin Alpha Tthe number of separate doses (per kg) to be given over 4 weeks by day of age will not exceed 10. These will be administered as follows: day of life (DOL) 2 (1200 U), DOL 4 (600 U), DOL 5 (600 U), DOL 6 (600U), DOL 7 (600 U), DOL 9 (600 U), DOL 14 (600 U), DOL 15 (600 U), DOL 16 (1200 U), and DOL 28 (600 U). The greatest dose in any 1 wk period is 3600 U. Infant study 1 Drug Intervention: all infants will be treated with Epoetin Alpha during the first four weeks of life to provide data for determining: 1) the PK/PD model determined optimized Epoetin Alpha dosing schedule; and 2) clinical and laboratory covariates predictive of which infants are good and poor Epoetin Alpha responder. |
