  • Data are expressed as geometric mean (% coefficient of variation) for pre- and post-doses of crizotinib (n = 14 and 8 patients, respectively).

  • a Fold increase in Cmax (CmaxR) and AUC0-∞ (AUCR) with coadministration of crizotinib with 90% CI.

  • b Calculated predicted to observed pharmacokinetic parameter ratio.

  • c Simcyp simulation was performed using TDI parameters from either HLM or HSP.
