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

nedosiran · LDHA (siRNA)
Genotoxicity
Conducted; negative (Ames, in vitro micronucleus, in vivo mouse micronucleus)
“Nedosiran was negative in the bacterial reverse mutation assay and did not induce micronuclei in mammalian cells in vitro or in vivo (Table 48).”
✓ VerifiedFDA integrated review, p. 96Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted pre-approval; deferred to postmarketing (TgRasH2 and 2-year studies)
“The carcinogenic potential of nedosiran has not been assessed. The Agency agrees that carcinogenicity studies can be conducted postmarketing.”
✓ VerifiedFDA integrated review, p. 96Source ↗
Reproductive & developmental
Mouse FEED/EFD/PPND clean; rabbit EFD: fetal loss and malformations at >=0.7-2x MRHD (unexplained, off-target)
“Higher postimplantation loss and lower numbers of live fetuses were observed at doses of ≥6 mg/kg/dose (0.7x the MRHD, based on body surface area), and fetal cardiovascular and skeletal malformations were observed at a dose of 20 mg/kg/dose (2x the MRHD).”
✓ VerifiedFDA integrated review, p. 50Source ↗
Safety pharmacology
Stand-alone in vitro hERG plus CNS/respiratory/CV studies in conscious monkeys; no significant effects
“Nedosiran had no significant adverse effect on central nervous system, respiratory, or cardiovascular function of cynomolgus monkeys at doses up to 300 mg/kg.”
