NOAEL / key findings
26-week rat NOAEL 12 mg/kg/day; male-rat-specific kidney changes and adaptive liver hypertrophy
“Microscopic changes in the kidney (males) and liver (males and females) were attributed to drug, but renal changes were male rat specific, and the liver finding (centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy) is considered adaptive. The NOAEL (12 mg/kg/day) was associated with Week 26 Cmax and AUC0-t values of 9.3 ug/mL and 113.9 ug.h/mL in males and 17.6 ug/mL and 213.7 ug.h/mL in females, respectively.”
