Pharmacokinetic results. (A) Mean plasma concentration versus time curves for imatinib at steady state in children and adults. Data for adults are from Peng et al.19 h indicates hour; ng/mL, nanogram per milliliter; and mg/m2, milligram per square meter. (B) Comparison of the imatinib AUCs at steady state in children and adults. Note: A 400-mg dose in adults is approximately 235 mg/m2 and a 600-mg dose is approximately 350 mg/m2. Data for adults are from Peng et al.19 AUC(0-24h) (ng.h/mL) indicates area-under-the concentration-time curve, from time 0 to 24 hours (nanogram times hour per milliliter); mg/m2, milligram per square meter; and n, number of patients. Error bars indicate SD.
