Qfitlia: which tox species, and why?
fitusiran · Antithrombin / SERPINC1 (siRNA)
Species
Healthy rat and cynomolgus monkey (GLP); hemophilia A mouse, hemophilia A dog and induced-HA monkey models
“Repeat-dose toxicology studies were conducted in healthy rats for up to 26 weeks, healthy monkeys for up to 39 weeks, and in hemophilia mice for up to 26 weeks.”
Why that species
Antithrombin mRNA sequence highly conserved, so fitusiran is pharmacologically active in mouse, rat, monkey and dog
“Fitusiran is pharmacologically active in mice, rats, monkeys, and dogs because the antithrombin mRNA sequences are highly conserved across species.”
Surrogate molecule
No surrogate; clinical siRNA active in rodent and monkey; hemophilia animal models added to assess on-target risk
“To address the limitations of studies in healthy animals, the Applicant conducted extensive studies in animal models of hemophilia”
