Maximum Baseline Corrected Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for ALA
Maximum baseline corrected plasma concentration (Cmax) for ALA over the 24 hour sampling time period. Blood samples were taken before ALA application and at 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours following study medication application.
Time frame: 2 days
Time at Which Cmax is Attained (Tmax) for ALA
Time of the maximum baseline corrected plasma concentration for ALA measured at at 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours following study medication application.If a maximum value occurred at more than one timepoint Tmax is defined as the first timepoint with this value.
Time frame: 2 days
AUCt
AUCt is the area under the baseline corrected plasma concentration-time profile up to the last quantifiable/non-negative plasma concentration
Time frame: 0, 15, 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 hours post-dose
The Terminal Exponential Half-life (T1/2,z) for ALA
The terminal slope was calculated by linear least squares regression of the log plasma concentration-time data. The terminal exponential half-life (T1/2,z) will be calculated as 0.693 divided by the absolute value of slope.
Time frame: 2 days
