Toxicity to reproduction: other studies

Additional information

A potential of BAY 73-4506 to adversely affect male and female reproduction has to be considered based on morphological changes in the testes, ovaries and the uterus seen after repeated dosing in rats and dogs. In the absence of specific measurements of hormone profiles, the biological significance of the changes in frequency of vulva and mammary complex swelling in the 12-month dog study is uncertain. A potential for effects of BAY 73-4506 on intrauterine development is expected based on the pharmacological mode of action (in particular, influence on neovascularization), and was confirmed in rabbits. Findings in tissue distribution studies in rats performed with BAY 73-4506 indicate a risk to breast-fed children during lactation. In these studies mammary glands showed an approx. 2-fold higher exposure than the maternal blood, suggesting secretion of drug or labeled metabolites with the milk.

Since neither repeated dose toxicity data nor reproductive toxicity data are available for BAY 73-4506 HCl, and based on the observed adverse effects after repeated oral administration of BAY 73-4506 the above mentioned data were used for the classification of BAY 73-4506 HCl. Due to the high structure similarity of the two compounds an identical toxicity profile of BAY 73-4506 and BAY 73-4506 HCl is to be expected. BAY 73-4506 is approved as an oral anticancer drug under the tradename Stivarga®.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the classification of BAY 73-4506 a self classification of BAY 73-4506 HCl according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) is recommended as follows:

DSD: R61, Repr. Cat. 2 (May cause harm to the unborn child) and R62, Repr. Cat. 3 (Possible risk of impaired fertility)

GHS: Repr. 1B (H360Df: May damage the unborn child, suspected of damaging fertility)

DSD: R64 (May cause harm to breast-fed babies)

GHS: Additional category for effects on or via lactation (H362: May cause harm to breast-fed children)
