Why that species
Metabolite profiles similar to human (including M9) and ability to achieve adequate systemic exposure
“The Wistar-Han rat and beagle dog were selected as appropriate species for toxicity based on having metabolite profiles similar to human (inclusive of the main des-ethyl metabolite in patients designated M9) and ability to achieve adequate systemic exposure.”

Species: DART
Rat (EFD only); fertility and pre/postnatal studies not conducted (ICH S9)
“No fertility, early embryonic development, prenatal, or postnatal development studies were conducted with zidesamtinib, and no studies are planned per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) S9. In a GLP embryo-fetal development study in rats (Table 15), selective developmental toxicity was observed”

Species: carcinogenicity
Not conducted (ICH S9)
“Consistent with concepts described in the ICH S9 guidance (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2010), carcinogenicity studies were not conducted with zidesamtinib, nor were they warranted.”
