Not conducted (low AAV integration risk); vector integration assessed in germline transmission study
“studies were not conducted to evaluate genotoxicity as they expect that the risk of DTX401 insertion is low.”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 11Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (AAV8 predominantly episomal; no link between AAV integration and hepatic tumors)
“studies were not conducted to evaluate carcinogenicity/tumorigenicity”

Reproductive & developmental
Embryo-fetal development and germline transmission studies in mice; NOAEL 7.0x10^13 gc/kg; no germline integration
“IV administration of DTX401 at 7 × 1013 gc/kg to pregnant dams at presumed gestational day (GD) 6 resulted in DTX401 DNA detection in placenta but not offspring livers”

Safety pharmacology
Incorporated into 6-month monkey study (respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological); no in vitro studies
“Relevant safety pharmacology endpoints (respiratory, cardiological, and neurological endpoints) were evaluated in Study #11”

betibeglogene autotemcel · HBB T87Q (LVV, ex vivo HSC)
Insertional mutagenesis assessed instead of standard genotox: in vitro immortalization assay (low potential) and integration site analysis (no clonal dominance)
