elranatamab · BCMA x CD3
Genotoxicity
Not conducted (ICH S6(R1))
“Genotoxicity studies with elranatamab have not been conducted since they are generally not required for protein-based biotherapeutics per ICH S6(R1).”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 43Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (ICH S9 / S6(R1))
“Carcinogenicity studies with elranatamab have not been conducted since they are generally not required for advanced cancer and protein-based biotherapeutics per ICH S9 and ICH S6(R1), respectively.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 43Source ↗
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.

Reproductive & developmental
Not conducted (weight-of-evidence); reproductive organs assessed in 3-month monkey study, no effects
“Embryofetal developmental toxicity was evaluated using a weight of evidence (WOE) risk assessment”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 48Source ↗
Safety pharmacology
Incorporated into repeat-dose monkey studies (ECG, heart rate; respiratory/CNS by clinical observation)
“No safety pharmacology studies were conducted. Safety pharmacology was evaluated as part of the general toxicology studies performed with elranatamab.”

Genotox: Ames
Not conducted (ICH S6)
“Genotoxicity studies with elranatamab have not been conducted since they are generally not required for protein-based biotherapeutics per ICH S6(R1).”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 43Source ↗
Genotox: in vitro mammalian
Not conducted (ICH S6)
“Genotoxicity studies with elranatamab have not been conducted since they are generally not required for protein-based biotherapeutics per ICH S6(R1).”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 43Source ↗
Genotox: in vivo
Not conducted (ICH S6)
“Genotoxicity studies with elranatamab have not been conducted since they are generally not required for protein-based biotherapeutics per ICH S6(R1).”

Carcinogenicity model
Not conducted (ICH S9, ICH S6(R1))
“Carcinogenicity studies with elranatamab have not been conducted since they are generally not required for advanced cancer and protein-based biotherapeutics per ICH S9 and ICH S6(R1), respectively.”

Carcinogenicity timing
Not required for advanced cancer and protein-based biotherapeutics
“Carcinogenicity studies with elranatamab have not been conducted since they are generally not required for advanced cancer and protein-based biotherapeutics per ICH S9 and ICH S6(R1), respectively.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 43Source ↗
hERG / QT
No hERG assay; no ECG or heart rate effects in monkey toxicology studies
“We agree that the safety pharmacology assessment in the toxicology studies in cynomolgus monkeys did not show elranatamab induced effects on cardiovascular endpoints (ECG or heart rate).”
