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

fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan · HER2
Genotoxicity
Not conducted with ADC; DXd clastogenic (rat micronucleus, CHL chromosome aberration), Ames negative
“MAAA-1181a was clastogenic in both an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay and an in vitro Chinese hamster lung chromosome aberration assay but was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 42Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (not warranted for indication; ICH S9)
“Carcinogenicity studies are not warranted to support the licensing application of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki for the proposed indication.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 43Source ↗
Reproductive & developmental
Not conducted (ICH S9: genotoxic payload, HER2 antibody oligohydramnios); fertility assessed from repeat-dose testis findings
“The Applicant did not conduct any reproductive toxicology studies with DS-8201a.”

Safety pharmacology
Standalone telemetered monkey CV/respiratory/CNS study (no effects) plus DXd hERG; QTc prolongation in one monkey in repeat-dose
“In a safety pharmacology study, DS-8201a did not have any significant effects on blood pressure, heart rate, ECG parameters, body temperature, or neurobehavioral function in conscious and unrestrained telemetered male cynomolgus monkeys following a single 78.8 mg/kg dose.”
