Rytelo: animal efficacy model or human cells?
imetelstat · Telomerase (oligo)
Efficacy evidence
Xenograft mice with ovarian cancer and AML cell lines and paediatric AML patient-derived cells
“In vivo, tumour growth inhibition and prolonged survival were demonstrated in xenograft mice models using cancer cell lines (ovarian cancer or AML cell lines) and patient-derived cancer cells (paediatric AML).”
Why that model
No MDS-specific cell lines or xenograft models; models of related myeloid and other tumors used
“Due to the lack of MDS specific cell lines and mouse xenograft models and given the increased expression of telomerase across most cancer types, particularly myeloid malignancies that are closely related to MDS, nonclinical data were generated in models of other tumor types that are relevant to demonstrate imetelstat’s mechanism of action and antitumor activity.”
Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA: no MDS-specific proof-of-concept; reliance on other myeloid malignancy models
“No specific proof-of concept for the proposed indication (MDS) is presented due to lack of MDS-specific cell lines and xenograft models”
