Stelara: which tox species, and why?
ustekinumab · IL-12/23 p40
Species
Cynomolgus monkey only
“The safety studies include repeated-dose toxicity with periods of recovery in cynomolgus monkeys, and developmental and reproductive toxicity studies in cynomolgus monkeys and mice; a number of non-pivotal studies was also conducted.”
Why that species
Comparable binding and neutralising activity against human and cynomolgus IL-12 and IL-23
“It was shown to have comparable binding and neutralising activity against human and cynomolgus macaque IL-12 and IL-23.”
Surrogate molecule
Yes: CNTO 3913, a rat-mouse chimeric anti-mouse IL-12/23p40 antibody, used for a mouse female fertility study
“Female fertility was investigated in a supportive study in mice using a rat-mouse chimaeric anti-mouse IL-12/23p40 monoclonal Antibody, CNTO 3913.”

Species: carcinogenicity
Not conducted (ICH S6)
“In accordance with the guideline entitled ‘Preclinical Safety Evaluation of Biotechnology-Derived Pharmaceuticals’ (ICH S6), carcinogenicity studies were not performed.”
Surrogate used in
Yes: rat-mouse chimaeric anti-mouse IL-12/23p40 antibody CNTO 3913 for mouse female fertility
