CAVERJECT® IMPULSE Nonclinical Toxicology (alprostadil)

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenesis

Long-term carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted.

Mutagenesis

The following battery of mutagenicity assays revealed no potential for mutagenesis: bacterial mutation (Ames), alkaline elution, rat micronucleus, sister chromatid exchange, CHO/HGPRT mammalian cell forward gene mutation, and unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS).

Impairment of Fertility

Rat reproductive studies indicate that alprostadil at doses of up to 0.2 mg/kg/day does not adversely affect or alter male rat fertility. These doses are approximately 32-fold higher than the maximum recommended human dose of 60 mcg based on body surface area.
