Regulatory Toxicology – Early Programme # • Phase I requirements * Single dose toxicity Repeat dose toxicity studies Genotoxicity studies Reproductive toxicity studies *Other requirements Pharmacology (actions relevant to the proposed route) Safety pharmacology Pharmacokinetics (preliminary studies on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) and in vitro metabolism studies # ICH M3 : Nonclinical Safety Studies
Regulatory Toxicology – Later Programme # • Phase II, III marketing application requirements * Chronic dose toxicity studies Carcinogenicity studies Reproductive toxicity studies Appropriate toxicity/genotoxicity studies on metabolites, impurities and/or excipient * Other requirements Additional safety pharmacology (if necessary) Additional genotoxicity studies (if necessary) Phamacokinetics (studies on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) # ICH M3 : Nonclinical Safety Studies
Duration of Toxicity Studies # *NOTE in US and EU, as an alternative to repeat dose studies, single dose toxicity studies with extended examinations may support single dose human trials To support phase I and II trials in EU and phase I, II and III trials Minimum duration of toxicity Duration of clinical trials Rodent Non –rodent Single dose 2 weeks* 2 weeks Up to 2 weeks 2-4 weeks* 2 weeks Up to one month one month one month Up to 3 months 3 months 3 months Up to 6 months 6 months 6 months - 1year > 6 months 6 months 1 year # ICH M3 : Nonclinical Safety Studies
PRECLINICAL STUDIES GENOTOXICITY : Standard TestBattery • AMES TEST: detection of reversemutation on S. typhimurium and E. coli (= procaryotes) • MOUSE LYMPHOMA : detection of forwardmutation on cell lineage (= eucaryotes) can also detect clastogenic effects IN VITRO • MICRONUCLEUS on rat bone marrow: detection of chromosome breaks =clastogenicity IN VIVO The battery can be completed with additional test(s) when necessary. Should permit to discard at the beginning of development potential genotoxic carcinogen compounds
PRECLINICAL STUDIES GENERAL TOXICOLOGY - ACUTE : Route: intended for human -If oral route for human :ORAL + PARENTERAL(IV or IP) Species:MOUSEandRAT Examinations : MORTALITY CLINICAL SIGNS/ BEHAVIOR GROSS OBSERVATION AT NECROPSY (Histopathology for gross lesions) Acute toxicology profile MNLD = Maximal non-lethal dose MLD = Minimal lethal dose
PRECLINICAL STUDIES GENERALTOXICOLOGY - SUBCHRONIC and CHRONIC Route :intended for human Species : Rodent =RAT Non-Rodent = DOG or MONKEY Dosing : daily (or twice daily), 3 doses + control Duration :up to 6 months (rodents) 9 to 12 months (non-rodents) Investigations :pluridisciplinary contributions Define NOEL : No Effect Level or NOAEL: No Adverse Effect Level TARGET ORGANS - BIOMARKERS

Toxicological Requirement • Depending on toxicity, a frequently used “safety margin” for volunteer studies is 10 fold between dose which produces toxicity in animals and dose given to humans • First dose can be 1/100 of NOAEL • Final dose can be 1/10 of NOAEL • Plasma data on drug will give levels at which toxic effects may be expected and so must not be exceeded • Awareness that animal data not necessarily predict clinical toxicity
