Dear Helmut!

From all what you have explained to me I have the impression that two so-called 'Cmax' values are not so very sound. I have the impression that the authors of the Q&A have had some ideal time courses with distinct bi-phases in their mind.

The FDA approach seems here more straight I think, taking the partial AUC as measure of 'early exposure' (as they have suggested already since times) and the one Cmax as measure of 'peak exposure'.

It suffers at least not from the inconsistencies in defining some 'Cmax,I' or 'Cmax,II' where no maximum is seen.

I think the discriminatory value of the partial AUC is well enough seen from the examples in the presentation.
Thus the additional metrics only raise the burden.

Regards,

Detlew
