catumaxomab · EpCAM x CD3
Genotoxicity
Not conducted (not submitted; biologic, no relevant model)
“Genotoxicity studies have not been submitted.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 14Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (not submitted)
“Carcinogenicity studies have not been submitted.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 14Source ↗
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
Not conducted (not submitted)
“Reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have not been submitted.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 14Source ↗
Safety pharmacology
No in vivo studies; human tissue cross-reactivity and in vitro hepatocyte studies
“The safety pharmacology programme was defined by the accessibility of intact monoclonal antibodies in vivo to EpCAM positive tissue.”

Carcinogenicity timing
Not required: absence of studies accepted given no suitable animal models
“The absence of many non￾clinical studies is considered acceptable for an antibody, given the absence of suitable animal models.”
