Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Tepotinib
Predose up to 168 hours post dose

The AUC from time zero (= dosing time) extrapolated to infinity, based on the predicted value for the concentration at tlast, as estimated using the linear regression from lambda (λ)z determination.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to Time of Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-tlast) of Tepotinib
Predose up to 168 hours post dose

The AUC from time zero (= dosing time) to time of the last quantifiable concentration (tlast). Calculated using the mixed log-linear trapezoidal rule (linear up, log down).

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Tepotinib and Metabolite
Predose up to 168 hours post dose

Cmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of Tepotinib
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero (= dosing time) to the last sampling time (tlast) at which the concentration is at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), calculated using the mixed log linear trapezoidal rule (linear up/log down).

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Tepotinib
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

Cmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Sampling Time (AUC0-t) at Concentration at or Above Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) of Tepotinib
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 216, 288, 336, and 504 hours post-dose during Treatment Periods 1 and 2

AUC0-t was calculated according to the mixed log linear trapezoidal rule.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Tepotinib
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 216, 288, 336, and 504 hours post-dose during Treatment Periods 1 and 2

AUC0-inf was calculated as AUC0-t + AUCextra. AUCextra represents the extrapolated part of AUC0-inf calculated by Clastcalc/λz, where Clastcalc was the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration was at or above the LLOQ and λz was the apparent terminal rate constant determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve.

Maximum Plasma Concentration Observed (Cmax) of Tepotinib
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 216, 288, 336, and 504 hours post-dose during Treatment Periods 1 and 2

Cmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.

Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Tepotinib
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 216, 288, 336, and 504 hours post-dose during Treatment Periods 1 and 2

Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.
