Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (ICH S9); GLP in vitro 60-day IL-2-independent growth study instead
“Consistent with regulatory guidance under “Nonclinical Evaluation for Anticancer Pharmaceuticals” (ICH S9, 2009) carcinogenicity studies were not conducted.”
Not conducted (no survival in immunocompetent rodents; GvHD in immunodeficient mice)
“JCAR017 does not survive in immunocompetent rodents and induces graft-versus-host disease in immunocompromised mice; therefore, traditional DART studies were not conducted.”

Safety pharmacology
Not conducted (no species cross-reactivity)
“The autologous cell-based JCAR017 T products lack species cross-reactivity thus in all NC studies performed safety pharmacology was deemed not practical and of negligible utility.”
