Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PK profiles of tulathromycin were analyzed by the non-compartmental model with uniform weighting using WinNonlin software (version 5.2; Pharsight, CA, USA). The surrogate marker of antibacterial effectiveness, AUC168h/MIC, was calculated using in vitro MIC values and PK parameters obtained from lung tissue samples from three individuals treated with IM administrations of tulathromycin. The effectiveness of tulathromycin was expressed as a reduction of H. parasuis loading calculated by subtracting loading of the treatment group from the control group. The in vivo PK/PD relationship of tulathromycin was described using a sigmoid inhibitory Emax model with the WinNonlin software (version 5.2; Pharsight, CA, USA) where the equation is as follows:
where E is the antibacterial effect measured as the reduction in log10 CFU/lung after administration of tulathromycin compared to that of the log10 CFU/lung in the untreated control group; Emax is the reduction in log10 CFU/lung for the untreated control guinea pigs; E0 is the maximum reduction after administration and represents the maximum antibacterial effect; Ce is the AUC/MICserum parameter; EC50 is the AUC/MICserum value required to achieve 50% of the maximal antibacterial effect; and N is the Hill coefficient that describes the steepness of the AUC/MICserum and effect curve.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PK profiles of tiamulin were analyzed by the non-compartmental model with uniform weighting using the WinNonlin software (version 6.1; Pharsight, CA, USA). The surrogate marker of antibacterial activity, AUC24h/MIC were calculated using in vitro MIC value and PK parameters obtained from three doses of i.m. administrations of tiamulin. The bacteria loading for each animal was calculated according to Ct values and the in vitro standard DNA curve. The efficacy of tiamulin was evaluated by the reduction of M. gallisepticum compared to the initial bacteria count before drug treatment. The in vivo PK/PD relationship of tiamulin against M. gallisepticum was studied using the sigmoid Emax model WinNonlin software (version 6.1; Pharsight, CA, USA) with the equation as follows:
E=E0+Emax×CeNEC50N+CeN
where E0 is the change in log10 ccu equivalents/mL in the control sample (absence of tiamulin), Emax is the difference in log10 ccu equivalents/mL of the greatest amount of kill, Ce is the AUC24h/MIC in the effect compartment, EC50 is the AUC24h/MIC value producing a 50% reduction in bacterial counts, and N is the Hill coefficient that describes the steepness of the curve (25 ).

Efficacy of AQ-13 for Malaria Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sample size estimates were based on a 15% non-inferiority margin, 95% cure for those given artemether with lumefantrine, and 20% attrition after treatment10 (link) with the power (1 – β=80%) to detect a 15% or greater decrease in efficacy, which yielded sample sizes of 33 per group and 66 participants in total. Testing of the primary and secondary outcomes was done with the Fisher's exact test, t test, or Mann-Whitney U test. These statistical tests were done in GraphPad Prism (version 6.07). Times to parasite and fever clearance were compared with Kaplan-Meier survival curves and tested for significance using the log-rank test. Pharmacokinetic parameters for AQ-13 from phase 2 efficacy studies were based on non-compartmental analysis with the use of the Win Nonlin software in Pharsight (version 6.5) and compared with t tests for which p values less than 0·05 were considered significant. Two-sided testing was used for all statistical comparisons.
The data and safety monitoring board did an interim analysis after 33 patients were enrolled in the study. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01614964.

To study the PK profile, the blood samples were collected at the following timepoints: 0 hours (pre-dose), 4 hours, 12 hours, and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113 days post-dose. After 0.5 hour at room temperature, blood samples were centrifuged at 2000g at 4 °C for 15 minutes. The serum samples were stored at − 60 °C until subsequent measurement of the drug concentration by a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Covance Inc., Shanghai, China). The lower limits of quantification of the assay for serum BAT2206 or ustekinumab were 50.0 ng/mL, and the calibration range was 50.0–1600 ng/mL. The accuracy was − 2.5 to 3.2%, with the precision within the 3.9% coefficient of variation.
Pharmacokinetic evaluations included the following parameters: Cmax, time to Cmax, area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time 0 to 672 hours (AUC0–672), AUC over the dosing interval (AUC0–t), AUC0–inf, elimination half-life, first-order rate constant of drug associated with the terminal portion of the curve, apparent clearance (CL/F), and apparent volume of distribution. The calculation of PK parameters was performed using WinNonlin software (version 8.0; Pharsight Corporation, St. Louis, MO, USA) with the non-compartment model.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nicotine concentrations in serum samples were measured by gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection using a standard protocol in our laboratory (Harris et al., 2008 ; LeSage et al., 2003 (link)). Single dose nicotine pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated after completion of the dose-reduction protocol using our previously reported methods (Harris et al., 2008 ). In brief, rats were anesthetized with droperidol (2 mg/kg)/fentanyl (0.04 mg/kg) i.m. and implanted with a femoral catheter. They received nicotine 0.1 mg/kg i.v. over 10 sec via the catheter used for self-administration (see below), and blood was obtained via the femoral catheter at 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min for measurement of the serum nicotine concentration (Harris et al., 2008 ). Parameter estimates (e.g., volume of distribution, half-life, clearance, and area under the curve (AUC)) were obtained using standard non-compartmental methods using WinNonlin software (version 4.1, Pharsight, Mountain View, CA).
