Cynomolgus monkey for rAd-IFN/Syn3 GLP tox; rat and monkey for excipient Syn3
“Rat and cynomolgus monkey have been used as the toxicology species for Syn3NODA and cynomolgus monkeys were used for the toxicological assessment of rAd-IFN/Syn3NODA.”
Monkey shows systemic vector exposure after intravesical dosing (unlike rodents), a worst-case model; permissiveness not otherwise discussed
“As a toxicological species, monkeys may be a worst-case model, since systemic toxicity of rAd-IFN will be of very limited relevance to the clinical situation.”
