Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

Percent change = (\[trough concentration on Day 15 minus trough concentration on Day 57\] divided by trough concentration on Day 15) multiplied by 100.

Ratio of Total and Unbound Trough GDC-0449 Concentration Between Day 57 to Day 15
Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 on Days 1, 29, 50, and 54 and predose on Days 8, 10, 15, 22, 33, 36, 43, and 57

Ratio = trough concentration on Day 57 divided by trough concentration on Day 15. If the ratio of total and unbound trough GDC-0449 concentration between Day 57 to Day 15 is less than 1, then it indicates reduction in total and unbound trough GDC-0449 concentration between Day 15 to Day 57.

Plasma GDC-0449 concentrations were reported in nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) units and converted to micromolar (mcM) units using the molecular weight (421.30 grams per mole \[g/mol\]) prior to PK analysis. Css was calculated for Days 28 to 56.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Total and Unbound GDC-0449
0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours on Day 1, 15 and 57 post-dose

AUC is a measure of the serum concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption. AUC values were calculated using the linear trapezoidal method when the concentrations were rising and using the logarithmic trapezoidal method when the concentrations were declining (linear up/log down rule in WinNonlin). Below the limit of quantitation (BLQ) values at pre-dose were considered as zero for PK analysis.
