Conducted: ADC clastogenic in mouse micronucleus; free calicheamicin DMH mutagenic and clastogenic in vitro
“Gemtuzumab ozogamicin was found to be clastogenic. This is consistent with the known induction of DNA breaks by calicheamicin and other enediyne antitumour antibiotics.”
Rat male/female fertility and rat EFD (one species agreed); embryolethal, teratogenic, male fertility impaired; no PPND
“Based on the unequivocally positive results obtained from a pilot study, the Agency previously agreed with the Applicant that one species would be sufficient to support an NDA application for CMA-676 in a leukemia indication.”
