Roctavian: animal efficacy model or human cells?

valoctocogene roxaparvovec · Factor VIII
Efficacy evidence
Rag2-/- x FVIII-/- haemophilia A mice: blood loss and bleeding time almost corrected to wild-type levels
“In mice administered 1.0E14 vg/kg BMN 270, blood loss and bleeding time was almost corrected to wild-type levels, comparable to the correction achieved with Xyntha® treatment.”

Why that model
Immunocompetent mice mount antibodies against heterologous human FVIII, abolishing FVIII activity
“The applicant specified that the study was conducted in CD1 mice, a immunocompetent mice, thus able to mount an antibody response against a heterologous human protein. Results indicated that animals with higher anti-hFVIII TAb titers had FVIII activity that was BLQ.”

Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA: adequate set of pharmacology experiments across mouse strains and monkeys; proof of concept in Rag2-/- x FVIII-/- mice
“From a pharmacology point of view, it is acknowledged that an adequate set of experiments have been conducted in different animals species, eg normal C57BL/6J and Crl:CD1(ICR) mice, Rag2-/- mice, Rag2-/- x FVIII-/- mice, and Rhesus and Cynomolgus monkeys. Proof of concept has been determined in the Rag2-/- x FVIII-/- mice in the course of Study BMN 270-14-014.”
