Why that species
Pharmacokinetics and toxicokinetics in rat and monkey similar enough to human to be representative
“Overall, it can be concluded that rats and monkeys are suitable non-clinical species for the safety assessment of imlunestrant. The pharmaco-and toxicokinetics are similar enough to human pharmacokinetics to be representative.”
“Imlunestrant has been administered by QD oral gavage to rats for up to 6 months and to monkeys for up to 3 months.”
