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.”

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.”
