Trodelvy: genotox, carcinogenicity and repro: done or skipped?

sacituzumab govitecan · Trop-2
Genotoxicity
Not conducted with ADC; SN-38 Ames negative, in vitro micronucleus positive (clastogenic)
“SN-38 was negative for mutagenicity in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test but was clastogenic in the in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 176Source ↗
Carcinogenicity
Not conducted (advanced cancer, ICH S9)
“No carcinogenicity studies were conducted or warranted to support this NDA, as the proposed indication was for advanced cancer.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 177Source ↗
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 (ICH S9); SN-38 genotoxic so embryo-fetal toxicity expected; female repro organ findings in monkey
“No embryo-fetal developmental toxicology studies were conducted or warranted to support this BLA submission, based on ICH S9.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 176Source ↗
Safety pharmacology
Incorporated into repeat-dose monkey studies; no CNS, CV or respiratory findings; no hERG
“Safety pharmacology endpoints were assessed in the repeat-dose toxicity studies in monkeys. There were no sacituzumab govitecan-related findings on the central nervous, cardiovascular, or respiratory systems.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 176Source ↗
Genotox: Ames
SN-38: negative in Ames assay
“SN-38 was negative for mutagenicity in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test but was clastogenic in the in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 176Source ↗
Genotox: in vitro mammalian
SN-38: positive (clastogenic) in in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test
“SN-38 was negative for mutagenicity in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test but was clastogenic in the in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 176Source ↗
Genotox: in vivo
Not conducted (SN-38 genotoxicity assessed in vitro only)
“Genotoxic potential of SN-38 was assessed in vitro.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 35Source ↗
Carcinogenicity model
Not conducted (advanced cancer indication)
“No carcinogenicity studies were conducted or warranted to support this NDA, as the proposed indication was for advanced cancer.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 177Source ↗
Carcinogenicity timing
Not required for advanced cancer (ICH S9)
“No assessment of carcinogenicity has been conducted in accordance with ICH S9 according to which carcinogenicity studies are not warranted to support marketing for therapeutics intended to treat patients with advanced cancer.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 31Source ↗
hERG / QT
No CNS, cardiovascular (incl. QT/QTc) or respiratory effects in monkeys up to 120 mg/kg
“there were no apparent adverse effects on the CNS, the cardiovascular system including assessment of QT or corrected QT (QTc) interval or respiratory function following intravenous dosing of sacituzumab govitecan in cynomolgus monkeys at doses up to 120 mg/kg.”
