Briumvi: what safety margin did regulators accept?

ublituximab · CD20
Check my plan vs. these
Safety margin at NOAEL
Monkey 26-week study at only dose (30 mg/kg): Cave ~24x human at 450 mg MRHD; no NOAEL defined
“No adverse effects on male or female reproductive organs were observed at the only dose level evaluated (30 mg/kg) in a 26-week intravenous toxicity study in monkeys, which was associated with plasma exposures (C ave ) approximately 24 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (450 mg).”
✓ VerifiedUS prescribing informationSource ↗
NOAEL / key findings
No NOAEL identified in the 26-week study, as only one dose level was tested
“Since only one dose level of ublituximab was administered, no NOAEL was identified.”
