Oxlumo: which tox species, and why?

lumasiran · HAO1 (siRNA)
Species
Rat and cynomolgus monkey (both pharmacologically relevant); rabbit for EFD
“The target site of lumasiran in the HAO1 mRNA is conserved across mammalian species and both rodent and monkey are pharmacologically relevant species.”
✓ VerifiedFDA integrated review, p. 25Source ↗
Why that species
HAO1 target site conserved across mammals; active in rodents, lagomorphs and NHP
“Lumasiran is pharmacologically active in both rodents, lagomorphs and nonhuman primates.”
✓ VerifiedFDA integrated review, p. 78Source ↗
Surrogate molecule
No surrogate; clinical siRNA pharmacologically active in rodent and monkey tox species
“The target site of lumasiran in the HAO1 mRNA is conserved across mammalian species and both rodent and monkey are pharmacologically relevant species.”
