Negative in Ames, in vitro chromosome aberration and rat micronucleus assays
“Sofpironium bromide was not mutagenic or clastogenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay, in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration assay, and rat in vivo micronucleus assay.”

Carcinogenicity
2-year dermal mouse and 2-year subcutaneous rat studies; no drug-related neoplasms in mice up to 20% gel
“The carcinogenic potential of sofpironium bromide was assessed in a 2-year dermal mouse carcinogenicity study and a 2-year subcutaneous rat carcinogenicity study. There were no drug-related neoplasms associated with daily topical administration of sofpironium bromide topical gel to mice at doses of up to 20% sofpironium bromide”

Reproductive & developmental
Rat and rabbit sc EFD: rat NOAEL 10 mg/kg/day; rabbit EFD NOAEL 2 mg/kg/day, malformation NOAEL 10 mg/kg/day
“The maternal and fetal survival, growth and development NOAEL was 10 mg/kg/day in embryo-fetal development studies in rats following sc administration. In rabbits, the NOAEL for embryo-fetal development toxicity was 2 mg/kg/day sc sofpironium bromide and the NOAEL for fetal malformation was 10 mg/kg/day.”

Safety pharmacology
hERG IC50 >300 µM (~350-fold clinical exposure)
“In vitro, sofpironium bromide was shown to inhibit the Ikr current in a hERG assay with an IC50 value of >300 μM, an approximate 350-fold higher exposure than that was measured clinically.”

Genotox: Ames
Negative
“Sofpironium bromide was not mutagenic in a bacterial mutagenicity assay (Ames assay) or clastogenic in an in vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration assay (human peripheral blood lymphocytes) or in an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats.”
Negative chromosomal aberration assay in human peripheral blood lymphocytes
“Sofpironium bromide was not mutagenic in a bacterial mutagenicity assay (Ames assay) or clastogenic in an in vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration assay (human peripheral blood lymphocytes) or in an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats.”

Subcutaneous rat and dermal mouse studies (about 104 weeks) completed and submitted with the NDA
“In this submission, the sponsor included reports of two animal carcinogenicity studies, one in rats and one in mice. These studies were intended to assess the carcinogenic potential of BBI-4000 when administered by subcutaneousinjection in rats and by dermal in mice at appropriate drug levels for about 104 weeks.”
