Abecma: which tox species, and why?
idecabtagene vicleucel · BCMA CAR-T
Species
No relevant species; NSG mouse xenografts and in vitro only
“The PK and biodistribution of ide-cel were evaluated in NSG mice with and without BCMA+ xenografts.”
Why that species
Human autologous T cells do not engraft in immunocompetent animals; no representative models
“Ide-cel comprises engineered human T cells, therefore there are no representative in vitro assays, ex vivo models, or in vivo models that can accurately address the toxicological characteristics of the human product.”
Surrogate molecule
No surrogate; human ide-cel tested in NSG mice with human MM xenografts
“Rapid elimination of both subcutaneous and systemic tumours and increased survival was demonstrated in NSG mice with BCMA+ xenografts after a single dose of ide-cel.”
Species: general tox
None; no repeat-dose toxicity studies (human T cells do not engraft in immunocompetent animals)
“No single or repeat-dose toxicity studies were conducted with ide-cel as traditional animal studies employing common toxicology study designs are not appropriate for ide-cel since autologous human T cells do not graft in immunocompetent animals.”
Species: DART
Not conducted (product characteristics)
“No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies were conducted for bb2121 which is acceptable based on the product characteristics.”
Species: carcinogenicity
Not conducted; in vitro IL-2-independent growth assay instead
“No carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity studies were conducted for bb2121. However, the applicant evaluated IL-2 independent growth in Study #10.”
Surrogate used in
No surrogate used; clinical ide-cel tested in NSG mice with BCMA+ xenografts
“Rapid elimination of both subcutaneous and systemic tumours and increased survival was demonstrated in NSG mice with BCMA+ xenografts after a single dose of ide-cel.”
