Amtagvi: genotox, carcinogenicity and repro: done or skipped?

lifileucel · TIL therapy
Genotoxicity
Not conducted (not warranted given product characteristics and biological activity)
“No genotoxicity studies were conducted for AMTAGVI. Given the characteristics and biological activity of AMTAGVI, this omission is acceptable.”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 14Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (expanded TILs free of tumor cells; residual tumor cell release controls; no clinical tumorigenicity signal)
“No tumorigenicity studies were conducted for AMTAGVI. This is acceptable since Studies #3 and #4 provided evidence that the expanded human TIL cultures in the studies were free of tumor cells.”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 14Source ↗
Reproductive & developmental
Not conducted (product characteristics and biological activity)
“No DART studies were conducted for AMTAGVI. Given the characteristics and biological activity of AMTAGVI, this omission is acceptable.”
