Rethymic: which tox species, and why?

allogeneic processed thymus tissue · Allogeneic thymus tissue
Check my plan vs. these
Species
No relevant species; nude rat pharmacology studies only, no tox
“Based on the acceptable clinical safety profile of RVT-802 and the lack of relevant animal species/models, no nonclinical toxicology studies with RVT-802 were performed.”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 2Source ↗
Why that species
Nude rats used to model engraftment and thymopoiesis of allogeneic thymus; no relevant tox species
“Studies were conducted in nude rats to to identify potentially optimal culture conditions of allogeneic neonatal thymus that result in engraftment and development of an endogenous T cell population”
✓ VerifiedFDA pharmacology/toxicology review, p. 2Source ↗
Surrogate molecule
No surrogate; human product tested in athymic nude rats (pharmacology only)
