Thanks for reply nobody:

It is apparent that there is a sample processing fault. Here is the related part in the study protocol:

"Individual samples will be re-assayed if at least one of the following criteria is met:
  1. Obtained study sample concentration is above the ULOQ. Such sample will be diluted with drugfree plasma and re-assayed.
  2. Internal standard and/or analyte response is not sufficient
  3. Fault in the sample processing
  4. Improper sample injection or malfunction of equipment
  5. Poor chromatography
  6. Identification of quantifiable analyte levels in pre-dose samples.
The individual samples selected for reanalysis that did not give a valid value (criteria a. – f.) will be reassayed in duplicate if sufficient plasma is available. Initial values, re-assayed results, finally accepted values and a justification for the acceptance will be reported. The individual samples selected for reassay will be assayed in a batch including calibration and QC samples.

I think neglecting that value in PK analysis will be the best practice as ElMaestro advised.

Far better an approximate answer to the right question,
which is often vague, than an exact answer to the wrong question,
which can always be made precise.    John W. Tukey
