Not conducted for rAd-IFN; conducted for excipient Syn3 only (Ames and chromosome aberration, negative)
“Safety pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and genotoxicity studies were also conducted for the exicipient Syn3.”

Safety pharmacology
No dedicated vector study; excipient Syn3 in vitro hERG and in vivo CNS/CV/respiratory studies showed no risk up to 5 mg/kg
“Safety pharmacology studies do not indicate a risk for Syn3NODA in the in vivo studies evaluating CNS, cardiovascular and respiratory systems up to a concentration of 5 mg/kg.”
“The genotoxicity of Syn3NODA was evaluated in vitro in an Ames test for bacterial mutagenicity and in a chromosome aberration study in human lymphocytes for potential for clastogenicity. Overall, these studies indicate that Syn3NODA is not genotoxic in vitro.”
Excipient Syn3: chromosome aberration assay in human lymphocytes negative
“The genotoxicity of Syn3NODA was evaluated in vitro in an Ames test for bacterial mutagenicity and in a chromosome aberration study in human lymphocytes for potential for clastogenicity. Overall, these studies indicate that Syn3NODA is not genotoxic in vitro.”
Excipient Syn3: rat bone marrow micronucleus negative up to 25 mg/kg/day
“In the main study, male rats (n=5/group) dosed up to 25 mg/kg/day did not show an increase in the mean frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow compared to control animals.”
Not conducted: not warranted (product characteristics, toxicology results, target population)
“Carcinogenicity and reproductive and developmental toxicity studies were not performed for rAd-IFN/Syn3. These studies are not warranted based on the product characteristics, results from the toxicology studies, and target patient population.”

hERG / QT
Excipient Syn3: no hERG tail-current effect up to 4.53 µM (GLP); hERG inhibition not expected clinically
“In a GLP compliant hERG test for SYN3NODA, 4.53 µM (nominally 10 µM) is considered the highest tested concentration of Syn3NODA with no statistically significant effect on hERG tail current, thereby confirming that hERG inhibition by SYN3NODA will not occur upon clinical treatment.”
