Lynozyfic: which tox species, and why?

linvoseltamab · BCMA x CD3
Species
Cynomolgus monkey only
“Overall, data indicate that linvoseltamab bound human and Cynomolgus monkey BCMA, but not rat or mouse BCMA.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 27Source ↗
Why that species
Binds human and monkey BCMA (monkey lower affinity, KD 24.6 nM vs 437 pM human) and CD3 on both; no rat/mouse BCMA binding
“Overall, data indicate that linvoseltamab bound human and Cynomolgus monkey BCMA, but not rat or mouse BCMA.”

Surrogate molecule
No surrogate; clinical molecule (REGN5458) tested in cynomolgus monkey
“Two repeat dose toxicology studies were performed by the applicant, (Study R5458-TX-17179 and Study r5458-tx-20118).”
