▧ Absorption :
The Cmax values and areas under the plasma concentration versus time curves from 0 to infinity (AUC inf) increase linearly with dose, although the increase was slightly more than dose proportional. Carboplatin exhibits linear pharmacokinetics.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
* 16 L [apparent volume of distribution, 30 minute IV infusion of 300 mg/m^2 to 500 mg/m^2]
▧ Protein binding :
Carboplatin is not bound to plasma protein. However, the platinum itself from carboplatin irreversibly binds to plasma proteins and is slowly eliminated with a minimum half-life of 5 days.
▧ Route of Elimination :
The major route of elimination of carboplatin is renal excretion. After 24 hours, all of the platinum is recovered in the urine as carboplatin. Whether biliary excretion occurs is not known.
▧ Half Life :
Initial plasma half-life (alpha) = 1.1 to 2 hours;
Post distribution plasma half-life (beta) = 2.6 - 5.9 hours.
▧ Clearance :
* 4.4 L/hour [total body clearance, 30 minute IV infusion of 300 mg/m^2 to 500 mg/m^2]
