Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Escherichia coli-derived recombinant human interleukin-10 (rhuIL-10) has been evaluated in an extensive series of in vivo and in vitro nonclinical safety studies, including genetic toxicology, single- and repeat-dose systemic toxicity and toxicokinetics, reproductive toxicity, and specialized irritation studies. The primary test species in the toxicology studies were the mouse and monkey based on rhuIL-10 activity in receptor binding and ex vivo cytokine assays. Supported by a detailed preclinical program of therapeutic and prophylactic animal models in autoimmune diseases, the initial clinical development program has focused on investigating the therapeutic potential of rhuIL-10 (Tenovil) in Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. The results of the subcutaneous toxicity studies, up to 3 months dosing duration in mice and 6 months dosing duration in monkeys, support the development of rhuIL-10 for present and future clinical indications by the subcutaneous route of administration.
