  • G1, group 1; G2, group 2.

  • a Concentration is estimated from the relative distribution of apixaban or M1 in the plasma, the total concentration of radioactivity, and the specific activity (5.44 μCi/mg) of the administered drug. AUCT1—T2 is estimated from the concentration in plasma at limited time points (1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h) using the trapezoidal rule.
