brolucizumab · VEGF-A
Genotoxicity
Not conducted (ICH S6(R1))
“No genotoxicity studies have been conducted. Since brolucizumab is an antibody fragment, the lack of genotoxicity studies is in accordance with the available guideline ICH S6 (R1) and this point is accepted.”
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (ICH S6(R1))
“Similarly, no carcinogenicity studies have been conducted with brolucizumab, as noted in ICH S6 (R1), standard carcinogenicity bioassays are generally not performed for biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals.”

Reproductive & developmental
Monkey ePPND (IVT, every 4 weeks): no effects on embryo-fetal development, pregnancy, parturition or offspring at 6 mg/eye; no fertility studies
“There was no impact of IVT administration of brolucizumab on embryo-fetal development, pregnancy or parturition; or on the survival, growth, or postnatal development of offspring at 6 mg/eye (10-fold the MRHD on a mg/kg basis).”
Safety pharmacology
Incorporated into repeat-dose toxicity studies; no respiratory, cardiovascular or CNS effects
“No effect on respiratory function or cardiovascular function, and no effects on the central nervous system were detected in toxicological studies.”
Genotox: Ames
Not conducted (ICH S6(R1))
“No genotoxicity studies have been conducted. Since brolucizumab is an antibody fragment, the lack of genotoxicity studies is in accordance with the available guideline ICH S6 (R1) and this point is accepted.”
Genotox: in vitro mammalian
Not conducted (ICH S6(R1))
“No genotoxicity studies have been conducted. Since brolucizumab is an antibody fragment, the lack of genotoxicity studies is in accordance with the available guideline ICH S6 (R1) and this point is accepted.”
Genotox: in vivo
Not conducted (ICH S6(R1))
“No genotoxicity studies have been conducted. Since brolucizumab is an antibody fragment, the lack of genotoxicity studies is in accordance with the available guideline ICH S6 (R1) and this point is accepted.”
Carcinogenicity model
Not conducted (ICH S6(R1))
“Similarly, no carcinogenicity studies have been conducted with brolucizumab, as noted in ICH S6 (R1), standard carcinogenicity bioassays are generally not performed for biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals.”
Carcinogenicity timing
Not required: standard bioassays generally not performed for biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals (ICH S6(R1))
“Similarly, no carcinogenicity studies have been conducted with brolucizumab, as noted in ICH S6 (R1), standard carcinogenicity bioassays are generally not performed for biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals.”
hERG / QT
No hERG assay; no test-article ECG changes in pivotal monkey studies
“No test-article changes in body weight, haematology parameters, clinical chemistry parameters, ERGs and ECGs were observed during pivotal studies.”
