Safety margin at NOAEL
NHP NOAEL (vg/eye) is 5-fold the proposed clinical dose
“The no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) in NHPs was 7.5 x 1011vg/eye, which is 5-fold higher than the proposed clinical dose level specified in the applicant’s ‘Dosage and Administration’ section of the label.”

NOAEL / key findings
NHP NOAEL 7.5e11 vg/eye (5x clinical); ocular inflammation/retinal degeneration in dogs at 1.5e12 vg/eye; no systemic toxicity
“The no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) in NHPs was 7.5 x 1011vg/eye, which is 5-fold higher than the proposed clinical dose level”
