What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ibrutinib

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  2. Time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) of Ibrutinib

    The Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-last]) of Ibrutinib

    The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) of Ibrutinib

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z); wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration, and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  5. Elimination Rate Constant (Lambda[z]) of Ibrutinib

    Lambda(z) is first-order elimination rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  6. Terminal Half-Life (t[1/2]) of Ibrutinib

    The elimination half-life (t1/2) is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  7. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of IMBRUVICA

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  8. Time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) of IMBRUVICA

    The Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  9. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-last]) of IMBRUVICA

    The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  10. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) of IMBRUVICA

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z); wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration, and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  11. Elimination Rate Constant (Lambda[z]) of IMBRUVICA

    Lambda(z) is first-order elimination rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

  12. Terminal Half-Life (t[1/2]) of IMBRUVICA

    The elimination half-life (t1/2) is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Time frame: Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Time frame: Baseline up to 14 days after last dose of study drug (Day 17)
