“The 2-month Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) study in adult mice, and the 3-month GLP study in juvenile mice, at dose levels up to 1.3 x 1011 vg/ear showed no DB-OTO-related adverse findings, with a no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 1.3 x 1011 vg/ear.”

Route in tox
Intracochlear via round window membrane; posterior semicircular canal in juvenile mice (worst-case systemic exposure)
“The intended clinical route of administration, IC injection via the round window membrane (RWM), was used in adult mice and monkeys, while a posterior semicircular canal (PSCC) injection was used in juvenile mice to assess a worst-case scenario for systemic exposure.”
