pivekimab sunirine · CD123
Genotoxicity
Not conducted with ADC (ICH S9); FGN849 positive in Ames TA102, in vitro and in vivo micronucleus
“In accordance with ICH S9, genotoxicity studies have not been conducted with PVEK.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 61Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (ICH S9)
“In accordance with ICH S9, carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with PVEK.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 62Source ↗
Instead of carcinogenicity
Not stated in public reviews
Not reported in the public reviews. Reviewers summarise selectively, so this usually means it wasn't discussed publicly, not that it wasn't studied.
