Table 2. Summary of the 14-day repeated-dose toxicity study in minipigs with full-thickness wounds with a 14-day recovery period.

Species/strain Göttingen minipigs
Initial age 9–12 months
Dose levels 0 CFU/ml, 5x107 CFU/ml, 5x109 CFU/ml
Duration of dosing 14 days, treatment on every other day
Duration of Postdose 14 days
Method of administration Topical on wounds
Vehicle/Formulation 5% dextrose, 2.5 sodium chloride, 1.6% sodium acetate
GLP Compliance Yes
Parameters controlled Body weight, food consumption, body temperature, clinical observations, opthalmoscopy, electrocardiography, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, organ weight, gross pathology, histopathology
Special feature Biodistribution and macroscopic wound evaluation
Brief conclusion Topical administration with 5x107 and 5x109 CFU/ml of AUP1602-C in surgically established full thickness wounds at 7 occasions during a time span of 14 days was well tolerated and did not cause any treatment releated systemic changes in male and female Göttingen minipigs. All wounds healed as normal and the wound healing process was advanced in all wounds at the end of the main study period and the recovery period.
