Fig. 2From: Antiresorptive effect of a cathepsin K inhibitor ONO-5334 and its relationship to BMD increase in a phase II trial for postmenopausal osteoporosisPlasma ONO-5334 concentrations following administration and those required for different levels of sCTX inhibition. Plasma ONO-5334 concentrations at 100Â mg QD, 300Â mg QD and 50Â mg BID in the MAD study are shown. At 50Â mg BID, plasma ONO-5334 concentrations between 12 and 24Â h after administration are substituted by values between 0 and 12Â h. ONO-5334 concentrations required for sCTX inhibition of 20, 50, 80 and 99% Emax are indicated. The plasma ONO-5334 concentration in the MAD study was reported by Nagase et al. [29]Back to article page
