Lupkynis: what safety margin did regulators accept?

voclosporin · Calcineurin
Check my plan vs. these
Safety margin at NOAEL
NOAEL exposure margins lower than the optimal 10x; toxicology similar to cyclosporine
“Therefore, the safety margins are lower than the optimal 10x. However, the toxicological profile of voclosporin was similar to that of cyclosporine”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 534Source ↗
NOAEL / key findings
Immunosuppression plus class effects: renal toxicity, neurotoxicity, gingival hyperplasia, liver toxicity
“The adverse findings observed were either expected due to drug-related immunosuppression (e.g., thymic medullary atrophy, absence of germinal centers, lymphomas, decreased lymphocyte counts) or to the known drug class specific adverse effects (e.g., renal toxicity, neurotoxicity, gingival hyperplasia, liver toxicity).”
