Statistical analysis title |

Statistical analysis description |
Given a clinically relevant difference of 30% in AUC, a
within-patient standard deviation of 25%, 80% power
and a two-sided significance level of 5%, 14 evaluable
patients were required per study group (i.e. with or without
esomeprazole) [19]; hence, a total of 28 patients had to be
included.
Analyses of AUC 24 and Cmax were performed on logtransformed
values, since these parameters were assumed
to follow a log-normal distribution [20]. Estimates for the
mean differences in (log) AUC 24
