Revuforj: what flexibility did regulators accept, and why?

revumenib · Menin-KMT2A
Check my plan vs. these
Flexibility accepted
DARTAcceptedBeyond the letter
Single preliminary rat embryo-fetal study only; no definitive or second-species embryo-fetal study
Why: Clear embryo-fetal effects already shown · Weight of evidence
“As revumenib caused clear evidence of embryo-fetal effects, further embryo-fetal studies were not conducted.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 77Source ↗
“We agree with the Applicant’s assessment of the embryo-fetal toxicity.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 79Source ↗
Safety marginVerdict not stated
Embryo-fetal toxicity at all doses, starting at 0.6 times human exposure; no developmental NOAEL
“There was a dose-dependent increase in the number of resorptions (including total litter resorption at 300 mg/kg/day), post-implantation loss, and malformations at all revumenib doses, suggesting potential fetal toxicity at exposures 0.6 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose of 270 mg twice daily.”

Juvenile toxAcceptedBeyond the letter
No definitive juvenile toxicity study; only a sponsor-initiated dose range-finding juvenile rat study
“A juvenile study was not requested by the FDA, and the Applicant conducted this study at their discretion.”

rilzabrutinib · BTK (reversible covalent)
Chronic rat NOAEL exposure only approximated clinical AUC at the maximum recommended dose

Welireg

belzutifan · HIF-2α
No carcinogenicity studies before US approval for chronic use in VHL disease; mouse and rat studies required postmarketing

Winlevi

clascoterone · Androgen receptor (topical)
No developmental NOAEL in the rat embryo-fetal study: malformations at all doses

Xacduro

sulbactam and durlobactam · PBPs; beta-lactamase (durlobactam)
Repeat-dose juvenile toxicity study (to inform dosing from birth to under one year) still ongoing at approval; completion under a postmarketing commitment

Xcopri

cenobamate · Sodium channel / GABA-A
Rat embryo-fetal study inadequate: high embryofetal death left too few fetuses to evaluate teratogenic potential; repeat study required postmarketing

Xdemvy

lotilaner · Mite GABA-Cl channel
Carcinogenicity studies waived on a weight-of-evidence basis

Xeglyze

abametapir · Lice metalloproteinases
Cardiovascular telemetry study in minipigs too flawed for regulatory use

Xocova

ensitrelvir · SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease
Eight drug-substance impurities with carcinogenic concern classified as ICH M7 Class 5 on lack of mutagenicity

Xolremdi

mavorixafor · CXCR4
No carcinogenicity studies before approval; rat and mouse carcinogenicity studies deferred to postmarketing requirements

Xpovio

selinexor · XPO1
No safety margin: toxicity in rats and monkeys at exposures below clinical exposure

Zavzpret

zavegepant · CGRP receptor
Juvenile animal toxicology study deferred to a post-marketing requirement to support pediatric development

Zaynich

cefepime and zidebactam · PBPs; beta-lactam enhancer (zidebactam)
Bacterial reverse mutation assay of a (redacted) test article limited to low concentrations because of antibacterial cytotoxicity

Zegfrovy

sunvozertinib · EGFR exon 20 insertion
No exposure margin: persistent ocular toxicity in rats at about 0.8 times the clinical AUC at 200 mg

Zenbexus

iberdomide · Cereblon (CELMoD)
No exposure margin at the 9-month monkey NOAEL (0.95-fold human steady-state AUC at 1 mg QD)

Zeposia

ozanimod · S1P1/S1P5 receptor
Major active human metabolites CC112273 and CC1084037 under-represented in pivotal toxicity, carcinogenicity and DART studies

Zepzelca

lurbinectedin · DNA minor groove (transcription)
Margins based on MTDs rather than NOAELs; exposure margins well below one in all studies and species

Zevtera

ceftobiprole medocaril · Penicillin-binding proteins
Animal data support only up to one month of dosing, while clinical treatment up to six weeks was permitted

Zokinvy

lonafarnib · Farnesyltransferase
No carcinogenicity study before approval; deferred to a postapproval study as agreed at the pre-IND meeting

Ztalmy

ganaxolone · GABA-A receptor (positive modulator)
Mouse and rat carcinogenicity studies not conducted before approval; deferred to postmarketing requirements as agreed with the Division

Zulresso

brexanolone · GABA-A receptor (positive modulator)
No carcinogenicity studies

Zurzuvae

zuranolone · GABA-A receptor (positive modulator)
Rabbit embryofetal study inadequate (plasma exposure below detection in some dams); second-species study required postapproval

Zycubo

copper histidinate · Copper replacement (Menkes disease)
No chronic repeat-dose toxicity studies in rodents or nonrodents, and no safety pharmacology studies
