Rat NOAEL: low to non-existing safety margins vs clinical exposure at 160 mg BID
“Major target organs for toxicity in rats comprises CNS, skin and bone marrow, with low to non-existing safety margins based on systemic exposure at NOAEL and expected human exposure at clinical intended dosing of 160 mg BID.”
Target organs: skin and CNS (rat), bone marrow (rat and monkey), GI tract (monkey); mostly reversible
“In the pivotal GLP-compliant RD-toxicity studies, the major target organs across species were the skin (rat), CNS (rat), bone marrow (rat and monkey), and GI (monkey). These findings were generally dose-dependent and were reversible or showed a trend towards reversibility.”
