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

datopotamab deruxtecan · Trop-2
Genotoxicity
Not conducted with ADC; DXd Ames negative, clastogenic in vitro chromosome aberration and in vivo rat micronucleus
“In genetic toxicology studies, deruxtecan was not mutagenic in an Ames assay but demonstrated clastogenic potential in an in vitro Chinese hamster lung chromosome aberration assay and an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 47Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (not warranted, advanced cancer)
“Carcinogenicity studies are not warranted to support the current application.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 47Source ↗
Reproductive & developmental
Not conducted (genotoxic payload); testis/ovary findings in rat; embryo-fetal toxicity warning
“The Applicant did not conduct fertility or embryo-fetal development toxicology studies with datopotamab deruxtecan as DXd is genotoxic and affects actively dividing cells, and therefore, these studies are not warranted to support the proposed indication.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 47Source ↗
Safety pharmacology
Stand-alone monkey CV/respiratory/neuro study plus repeat-dose endpoints; DXd hERG negative up to 10 µM
“Datopotamab deruxtecan did not have significant effects on cardiovascular, respiratory, or neurobehavior in safety pharmacology studies in monkeys.”
