No relevant AUC- or Cmax-based margins at repeat-dose NOAELs (mouse, rat, monkey) vs human doses of 25 to 70 mg bid
“However, no relevant Cmax- and AUC-based safety margins could be established for givinostat at the respective NOAELs in subchronic and chronic toxicity studies in mice, rats and monkeys compared to the envisaged therapeutic human doses of 25 to 70 mg bid in DMD patients.”
Transient CNS signs (rat, monkey); decreased WBC and bone marrow myeloid series (rat); bile duct hyperplasia and thymic atrophy (monkey)
“Primary toxicities included transient CNS signs in rat and monkey, decreases in WBC counts and bone myeloid series in rats, and bile duct hyperplasia and thymic atrophy in monkeys.”
