Adcetris: what safety margin did regulators accept?

brentuximab vedotin · CD30
Safety margin at NOAEL
Monkey NOAEL serum exposure ~2 to 3x human exposure at the clinical dose
“The serum exposure to SGN-35 in monkeys at the NOAEL was approximately 2 to 3 times that in humans.”

NOAEL / key findings
Monkey NOAEL 1 mg/kg, HNSTD 3 mg/kg, 6 mg/kg lethal; rat HNSTD 5 mg/kg; bone marrow/neutropenia, lymphoid, rat liver and testis
“At 3 mg/kg (HNSTD), a similar, but less severe cyclic decrease in neutrophil counts was observed, while at 1 mg/kg (NOAEL) no biologically relevant effects on neutrophil counts was observed.”
