TABLE 2

Estimated drug exposure for the intravital imaging studies

Exposure of AMG-009 or bosentan during the intravital imaging studies, and an estimated Cmax based on previously conducted intravenous studies with these compounds. As shown, subject number 1 in the 3 mg/kg bosentan dose group had no measurable exposure (limit of quantitation was 100 µg/l). Given that the other two animals in this dose group had plasma concentrations 13–36 times the limit of quantitation, it was concluded that subject number 1 was not properly dosed and imaging data for this animal was removed from the data set. The formula weight for AMG-009 is 581.47 and for bosentan is 551.62.
