(rimegepant)
Carcinogenesis
Oral administration of rimegepant to Tg.rasH2 mice (0, 10, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day) for 26 weeks and to rats (0, 5, 20, or 45 mg/kg/day) for 91-100 weeks resulted in no evidence of drug-induced tumors in either species. In rats, the plasma exposure (AUC) at the highest dose tested (45 mg/kg/day) was approximately 30 times that at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 75 mg/day.
Mutagenesis
Rimegepant was negative in in vitro (bacterial reverse-mutation, chromosomal aberration in Chinese hamster ovary cells) and in vivo (rat micronucleus) assays.
Impairment of Fertility
Oral administration of rimegepant (0, 30, 60, or 150 mg/kg/day) to male and female rats prior to and during mating and continuing in females to gestation day (GD) 7 resulted in reduced fertility at the highest dose tested. In a second fertility study testing lower doses (0, 5, 15, or 25 mg/kg/day), no adverse effects on fertility, uterine histopathology, or early embryonic development were observed. The no-effect dose for impairment of fertility and early embryonic development in rats (60 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma drug exposures (AUC) approximately 30 times that in humans at the MRHD.
