No margin: most repeat-dose exposure margins for elafibranor <1 (CHMP); findings likely clinically relevant
“Based on the exposure margins recalculated by the CHMP, the observed findings in the preclinical studies are likely to be clinically relevant, as most of the exposure margins for the repeat-dose toxicity studies for elafibranor are <1”
Monkey 52-week: minimal liver hypertrophy, degeneration/necrosis and single-cell necrosis at ≥10 mg/kg/day (0.5× human AUC)
“Microscopic changes in liver included hepatocytic hypertrophy (minimal), hepatocellular degeneration/necrosis (minimal), single cell necrosis/apoptosis (minimal to slight), and granulocytic foci (minimal) at ≥ 10 mg/kg/day (0.5 times the recommended dose based on combined AUC for elafibranor and GFT1007).”
