Brexanolone reported Breastmilk level results, where 95% of patients had milk allopregnanolone levels <10 mcg/L at 36 hours after the end of the infusion. The predicted weight-adjusted percent of maternal dosage was 1.3% and that the amount in milk was 1% to 2% of the weight-adjusted maternal dosage. Could you discuss on the limitations of this data and what your thoughts are on the subject?
