Padcev: genotox, carcinogenicity and repro: done or skipped?

enfortumab vedotin · Nectin-4
Genotoxicity
Not conducted with ADC; MMAE Ames and mouse lymphoma negative, rat micronucleus positive (aneugenic)
“Using the standard core battery of genetic toxicology studies recommended in the ICH S2 guidance, MMAE was reported to be genotoxic in the in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay through an aneugenic mechanism.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 36Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (ICH S9, advanced cancer)
“Carcinogenicity studies were not conducted or needed to support marketing of PADCEV in patients with advanced cancer.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 85Source ↗
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
No fertility or PPND studies (ICH S9); preliminary rat EFD with ADC and MMAE EFD: embryolethal, teratogenic
“Fertility and early embryonic development studies were not conducted or needed to support marketing of PADCEV in patients with advanced cancer.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 85Source ↗
Safety pharmacology
Incorporated into repeat-dose tox studies; MMAE hERG negative; no CV, respiratory or CNS effects
“No effect was reported on ECG, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory or CNS endpoints.”

Genotox: Ames
MMAE payload: negative in Ames test
“MMAE was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) or the L5178Y mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay.”
✓ VerifiedUS prescribing informationSource ↗
Genotox: in vitro mammalian
MMAE payload: negative in L5178Y mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay
“MMAE was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) or the L5178Y mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay.”
✓ VerifiedUS prescribing informationSource ↗
Genotox: in vivo
MMAE payload: positive in rat bone marrow micronucleus (aneugenic)
“MMAE was genotoxic in the rat bone marrow micronucleus study through an aneugenic mechanism.”

Carcinogenicity model
Not conducted (ADC or MMAE); ICH S9, metastatic UC
“In accordance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) S9, carcinogenicity studies were not conducted for enfortumab vedotin as it is intended for treatment of metastatic UC.”

Carcinogenicity timing
Not required for advanced cancer; none conducted

hERG / QT
MMAE: <50% hERG inhibition at >19,000-fold clinical Cmax; no significant inhibition at 10 µM
“MMAE, at concentrations greater than 19,000-fold higher than the clinically observed Cmax had limited (less than 50%) inhibition of potassium conductance via hERG channels, and at 10 µmol/L there was no significant inhibition of hERG channel activity.”
