Cynomolgus monkey (no CD123 cross-reactivity; off-target/payload toxicity) plus rat for FGN849 payload
“pivekimab sunirine does not cross-react with CD123 in standard animal species used for toxicology studies (mouse, rat, or cynomolgus monkey).”

Why that species
No CD123 cross-reactivity in standard species; monkey used for off-target/payload effects; weaker monkey TCR staining
“PVEK produced less intense and less frequently observed staining in monkey mononuclear cells.”

Surrogate molecule
No surrogate; clinical ADC tested in monkey; FGN849 payload tested alone in rats
“Additional studies were conducted with the FGN849 payload alone in rats, including single-dose studies (doses of 0, 15, or 25 μg/kg) and 5-day repeat-dose studies (doses of 0, 1, or 3 μg/kg daily for five days).”

Species: general tox
Cynomolgus monkey only (single-dose and 13-week GLP studies)
“Studies included single-dose GLP toxicology studies with pivekimab sunirine in cynomolgus monkeys (doses of 0, 0.1, 0.3, or 0.6 mg/kg) with a 28-day recovery period and a 13-week repeat-dose GLP study with pivekimab sunirine in cynomolgus monkeys (0, 0.01, 0.03, or 0.1 mg/kg administered once every three weeks for five doses) with an 8-week recovery period.”
