Genotoxicity
Not conducted
“No genotoxicity studies were conducted.”
Carcinogenicity
No carcinogenicity study; tumorigenicity assessed in nude mice and in vitro, no tumors
“No tumor formation was observed for the 20-week study duration.”
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.

Carcinogenicity model
Tumorigenicity only: topical StrataGraft on immunodeficient mouse wounds 20 weeks and s.c. NIKS keratinocytes 23 weeks; no tumors
“No tumor formation was observed for the 20-week study duration. In addition, following a single subcutaneous injection of NIKS® keratinocytes in immunodeficient mice, no tumor formation was detected for the 23-week study duration.”
Carcinogenicity timing
No standard carcinogenicity study; immunodeficient-mouse tumorigenicity studies (20-week topical, 23-week s.c. NIKS cells) completed before the marketing application, no tumors
“No tumor formation was observed for the 20-week study duration. In addition, following a single subcutaneous injection of NIKS keratinocytes in immunodeficient mice, no tumor formation was detected for the 23-week study duration.”
