TABLE 7.
Toxicological Findings in Rats and Dogs After Single (“Expanded”) and Repeated IV Administrations of Gadopiclenol
| Species | Duration of Treatment | Dose Level, mmol/kg | Findings | Reversibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rat | 1 d | 0, 2.5, 5, 10 | • At 10 mmol/kg (1 M), swelling of the limbs | Reversible |
| • At 10 mmol/kg (M), increase in kidney weights and epithelial tubular cells vacuolation | Partially reversible | |||
| Rat | 14 d | 0, 2.5, 5, 10 | • Dose-related decrease in body weight gain and food consumption | Partially reversible |
| • Dose-related decreases in RBC, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and triglyceride levels | Reversible | |||
| • Mild to severe tubular cell vacuolations in the renal cortex and urinary bladder | Partially reversible | |||
| • At 5 and/or 10 mmol/kg per d, cell vacuolation findings present in liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and in tissues throughout the body, mainly as vacuolated/granular macrophages | Reversible | |||
| Rat | 28 d | 0, 2.5, 5, 10 | • At highest dose level, swelling of the limbs and/or nose/muzzle, decreased activity, salivation, urination, and purple discoloration of the tail | Reversible |
| • Dose-related decreases in RBC, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and triglyceride levels | Reversible | |||
| • Minimal decreases in ALT in both sexes at high-dose level | Nonreversible | |||
| • Mild to severe tubular cell vacuolations in the renal cortex and urinary bladder | Partially reversible | |||
| • At 5 and/or 10 mmol/kg per d, cell vacuolation findings present in liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and in tissues throughout the body, mainly as vacuolated/granular macrophages | Reversible | |||
| Dog | 1 d | 0, 1, 2, 4 | • At 4 mmol/kg (2 M), with peripapillary conus or swelling of the optic nerve | Reversible |
| • Dose-dependent vacuolation of epithelial tubular cells | Reversible | |||
| Dog | 14 d | 0, 1, 2, 4 | • At all tested doses, increase in kidney weight | Reversible |
| • At all dose levels, mild to marked epithelial cell vacuolation of the cortical and medullary tubules | Reversible | |||
| Dog | 28 d | 0, 1, 2, 4 | • At the highest dose, swelling of the face and ears during week 2 through 4 (1 M) | Reversible |
| • Tan discoloration of kidneys at the high-dose (2 M and 1 F) | Reversible | |||
| • At all tested doses, kidney weight increase | Reversible | |||
| • At all dose levels, mild to marked epithelial cell vacuolation of the cortical and medullary tubules | Reversible | |||
| • Minimal vacuolation in urinary bladder | Reversible |
Note: The corresponding NOEL among the tested dose levels is highlighted. The corresponding NOAEL among the tested dose levels is indicated in bold and underlined.
IV, intravenous; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; F, female; M, male; RBC, red blood cell; NOEL, no-observed-effect level; NOAEL, no-observed-adverse-effect level.
