Hi John,

❝ ❝ BTW, if you ask Phoenix/WinNonlin for partial AUCs (and sampling wasn’t per­formed exactly at the cut-off time point) an interpolation between two adjacent time points (before/after) is used; linear if C2 ≥ C1 and log/linear if C2 < C1. Makes sense, IMHO.


❝ I don't think you can make interpolation to obtain the concentration at the desire time right


Why not? As you know we work on the same drugs (pAUCs standard). Never had a problem. Of course I describe the procedure in the protocol and even give an example plot similar to that one …

… showing how pAUCs, t75%, and HVD are calculated. Samples denoted with an orange circle were not taken at scheduled time points – they were either interpolated (at t=0 and t=4) or extrapolated (t=24).

❝ (example: interpolate 4 hr concentration from 3.5 hr and 4.25 hr concentration)?


I thought that you don’t have the 3.5 sample (delayed till 4:11)? But you have the one at 4:02. Interpolate between this one and the one before. If you feel that you are reaching too far “to the left”, drop the AUCs and keep the Cmax.

❝ I thought you have to use the time point as is?


Who told you that? :-D
Did you never have small time deviations close to the truncation time point and asked Phoenix/WinNonlin for partial AUCs? If yes, I’m surprised. If no, guess what was going on behind the veil (or look it up in the User’s Guide).
