Polivy: genotox, carcinogenicity and repro: done or skipped?

polatuzumab vedotin · CD79b
Genotoxicity
Not conducted with ADC; MMAE Ames and mouse lymphoma negative, rat micronucleus positive (aneugenic)
“MMAE was genotoxic in the rat bone marrow micronucleus study through an aneugenic mechanism.”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 12Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (not warranted for indication; ICH S9)
“Carcinogenicity studies in animals have not been performed with polatuzumab vedotin or MMAE and are not warranted for the proposed indication.”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 12Source ↗
Reproductive & developmental
No fertility study (ICH S9); MMAE rat EFD embryolethal and teratogenic; testicular toxicity in rat repeat-dose
“A designated fertility study was not conducted with polatuzumab vedotin or MMAE and is not needed for the proposed indication.”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 12Source ↗
Safety pharmacology
Incorporated into rat and monkey repeat-dose studies; MMAE hERG IC50 >100 uM; no adverse effects
“Safety pharmacology assessments (neurobehavioral, cardiovascular, and respiratory) that were incorporated into the repeat-dose toxicology studies showed no polatuzumab vedotin- or surrogate ADC-induced adverse effects in monkeys.”
