brentuximab vedotin · CD30Rat and cynomolgus monkey (monkey the antigen-binding species)
Decnupaz: which tox species, and why?
pivekimab sunirine · CD123
Species
Cynomolgus monkey (no CD123 cross-reactivity; off-target/payload toxicity) plus rat for FGN849 payload
“pivekimab sunirine does not cross-react with CD123 in standard animal species used for toxicology studies (mouse, rat, or cynomolgus monkey).”
Why that species
No CD123 cross-reactivity in standard species; monkey used for off-target/payload effects; weaker monkey TCR staining
“PVEK produced less intense and less frequently observed staining in monkey mononuclear cells.”
Surrogate molecule
No surrogate; clinical ADC tested in monkey; FGN849 payload tested alone in rats
“Additional studies were conducted with the FGN849 payload alone in rats, including single-dose studies (doses of 0, 15, or 25 μg/kg) and 5-day repeat-dose studies (doses of 0, 1, or 3 μg/kg daily for five days).”
