Reproductive & developmental
No fertility studies; rabbit EFD (IV up to 120 mg/kg, GD 7 and 14): no harm to dams or fetuses
“A single embryonic-fetal development study was conducted in pregnant, healthy New Zealand White rabbits administered two intravenous doses of raxibacumab up to 120 mg/kg (three times the human dose on a mg/kg basis) on gestation days 7 and 14. No evidence of harm to the pregnant dam or the fetuses due to raxibacumab was observed.”
