With regard to such therapeutic ranges, duration of exposure to predefined plasma ETO concentration ranges and the related AUC (expressed as percent of total AUC, pAUC) were used to compare pharmacokinetic profiles after oral and short time i.v. (1 h infusion) administration of identical ETO doses (100 mg/m2). Patients included in this study received i.v. (18 patients, short-term infusions) or oral (16 patients) ETO on different treatment schedules. Plasma ETO concentrations were determined by HPLC and population pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated (P-Pharm 1.4). Despite an 'apparent bioavailability' of 59%, oral administration of ETO was associated with the same time of exposure to a predefined 'therapeutic range' of 0.5-3 mg/l and a significantly higher pAUC compared to i.v. administration.
