Hi Helmut,

this happens occasionally with inhalation products and leaves everybody puzzled. If several subjects have such a profile one initial idea is to audit.
If nothing is found, and if SOPs are silent in relation to this situation, then I would say you can calculate AUCt but not kel or AUCinf for such subjects.
Hence I believe the subjects are not lost to evaluation of the primary endpoints Cmax and AUCt. You will of course get questions about the typical max. 20% extrapolation requirement which is impossible to answer in a meaningful manner. If you do business with some authority that requires AUCinf as primary then you have "an issue" and I have no solution which is universally useful.

Pass or fail!

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
