Primary outcomes
- Tmax — predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 and 45 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours
Tmax = time from inhalation to to maximum observed loxapine concentration - Half-life — predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 and 45 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours
Half-life of the terminal elimination phase of loxapine concentrations - ke — predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 and 45 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours
elimination rate constant - Clearance — predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 and 45 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours
clearance (CL/F) of lozxapine - Cmax — predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 and 45 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours
maximum concentration of loxapine observed - Dose Proportionality (AUCinf) by Power Analysis — predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 and 45 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours
Dose proportionality by power analysis examines the linear regression of the log-AUC versus log-Dose on a by-patient basis across all doses administered. The slope and 90% confidence interval (CI) provide a clear, quantitative (best practices) assessment of the relationship of drug delivered to dose administered. The units on such analyses are generally those of slope (rise over run), with 1.000 being "perfect". Although any positive slope might be considered clinically useful, a 90% CI within the criteria of 0.800-1.250 may be considered a delivery system which is "as good as it gets".
