Dear Yung-jin,

❝ […] is there any special consideration when using lin-up/log-down trapezoidal rule to calculate AUCs if there is more than one absorption peak?


I checked one study of bimodal release formulations. Imbalanced, n=15. I evaluated AUCt based on the linear trapezoidal and the lin-up/log-down method. Then I introduced a failure of the centrifuge resulting in a complete loss of 12 h samples in the second period. Let’s see:

                               PE       90% CI     %CVintra  %CVinter
complete, linear              99.89  95.23–104.78    7.38     33.75
complete, lin-up/log-down     99.78  95.10–104.69    7.42     33.40
incomplete, linear           100.08  95.64–104.72    7.00     33.84
incomplete, lin-up/log-down   99.93  95.37–104.72    7.23     33.39

With the linear trapezoidal results change whereas with the lin-up/log-down results are affected to a lesser degree. I didn’t check but expect to get identical results in a balanced case.

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
