Monkey NOAEL 4 mg/kg: AUC margin 0.09 (AUC0-24 vs AUCtau) to 0.57 (AUC0-∞)
“When monkey AUC0-24 was compared to human AUCtau (area under the concentration vs. time curve over the dosing interval 21 days) exposure margin was 0.09; however, when monkey AUC0-∞ was used for comparison the exposure multiple was 0.57.”
“In a 10-week toxicity study in monkeys a mid-dose of 4 mg/kg/dose Q3W of MIRV was selected to characterize potential toxicity at an exposure metric which was predicted to be similar to that of the IV dose (6 mg/kg, AIBW) utilized for the registrational studies. This dose was considered as NOAEL.”
