Why it's blank

The public FDA and EMA reviews of Tudriqev don't say how the first human dose was chosen. That rationale is in the IND, which is confidential, so it is missing for most approved products.

How it's usually set for gene therapies

FDA expects preclinical proof-of-concept and toxicology studies to identify active dose levels and support the choice of starting dose and escalation. The 2013 guidance gives no numeric formula or scaling rule for the starting dose.

“Selection of potential starting dose level, dose-escalation schedule, and dosing regimen for clinical trials.”

This product's starting point

NOAEL / key findings: NOAEL = highest dose tested of mRP1 in rats, 1x10^7 PFU/animal/injection; no adverse findings (FDA summary basis for approval, p. 13)

Longest repeat-dose systemic studies

Longest repeat-dose study and recovery
Rat repeat-dose mRP1 study (16 doses every 3 days for 7 weeks) with follow-up up to 6 months after final dose
“In a follow-up study, 16 doses (every 3 days for 7 weeks) of mRP1 were administered to healthy rats. mRP1 DNA was not detected in any neurologic tissues and there was no evidence of viral reactivation at any time point up to 6 months post-final dosing, indicating minimal risk of latency and reactivation of mRP1.”

Pivotal GLP studies
Single and repeat-dose mRP1 studies in healthy rats (16 doses, 6-month follow-up); repeat IT TUDRIQEV in tumor-bearing mice (5 doses)
“Toxicology studies evaluating TUDRIQEV and mRP1 were conducted in tumor-bearing immunocompetent mice and healthy rats, respectively.”

DART package

Species: DART
Pregnant rat (repeat IV mRP1, GD 4 to 16, embryofetal)
“Developmental and reproductive toxicology studies were conducted in pregnant rats following repeat IV administrations of between 9x104 - 1x106 PFU mRP1/animal/injection over gestation days (GD) 4 to 16 corresponding to early- and mid-organogenesis.”
✓ VerifiedFDA summary basis for approval, p. 13Source ↗
Reproductive & developmental
Embryofetal study in pregnant rats (mRP1 IV, GD 4-16): no malformations or growth effects; minimal placental transfer
“no embryofetal structural abnormalities or adverse effects on embryofetal growth were observed following repeat IV mRP1 administration.”
