Negative in Ames and rat micronucleus; positive in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human lymphocytes
“Doxecitine and doxribtimine were not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and was not clastogenic in the in vivo rat micronucleus assay. However, doxecitine and doxribtimine induced a statistically significant, dose-dependent increase in chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in the absence of metabolic activation.”
Not conducted; 26-week Tg-rasH2 mouse study required postapproval
“To address the remaining nonclinical data gaps, the Applicant will conduct the following postapproval studies: a 9-month dog study and a 26-week carcinogenicity study in Tg-rasH2 mice with doxecitine and doxribtimine”

Reproductive & developmental
Rat and rabbit EFD: maternal toxicity and fetal malformations (dilated aorta, narrow pulmonary trunk) in rabbits at 2000 mg/kg/day
“In embryofetal development studies, oral administration of doxecitine and doxribtimine to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis resulted in maternal toxicity (decreased body weight gain and food consumption) and fetal malformations (dilated aorta with narrow pulmonary trunk) in the rabbit at 2000 mg/kg/day.”
Not conducted as stand-alone studies (endogenous nucleosides); cardiovascular endpoints assessed in 13-week dog study
“No dedicated in vitro and in vivo safety pharmacology studies were conducted due to the endogenous nature of doxecitine and doxribtimine. In the 13-week toxicity study in dogs, cardiovascular endpoints were evaluated.”
“Doxecitine and doxribtimine were not mutagenic or clastogenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) and an in vivo rat micronucleus assay.”
Positive: chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes without metabolic activation
“Doxecitine and doxribtimine induced chromosomal aberrations in the absence of metabolic activation in an in vitro cytogenetic study in human lymphocytes.”
“Doxecitine and doxribtimine were not mutagenic or clastogenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) and an in vivo rat micronucleus assay.”
Not conducted; 26-week Tg-rasH2 mouse study planned postapproval
“To address the remaining nonclinical data gaps, the Applicant will conduct the following postapproval studies: a 9-month dog study and a 26-week carcinogenicity study in Tg-rasH2 mice with doxecitine and doxribtimine”
26-week Tg-rasH2 mouse study is a postmarketing requirement; draft protocol due 11/2026, not started at approval
“Postmarketing Requirement #1 Conduct a 26-week carcinogenicity study in Tg-rasH2 mice to identify and evaluate the carcinogenic risk of dC/dT. Draft Protocol Submission: 11/2026”
No dedicated safety pharmacology (endogenous nucleosides); cardiovascular endpoints in 13-week dog study
“No dedicated in vitro and in vivo safety pharmacology studies were conducted due to the endogenous nature of doxecitine and doxribtimine. In the 13-week toxicity study in dogs, cardiovascular endpoints were evaluated.”
Not genotoxic overall: Ames negative; in vitro chromosome aberration positive without (not with) metabolic activation; rat micronucleus and comet negative
