- Justification for study design:
- At this time, studies in laboratory animals provide the best available basis for extrapolation to humans and are required to support regulatory submissions. Acceptable models that do not use live animals currently do not exist. The Han Wistar rat was chosen as the animal model for this study as it is an accepted rodent species for nonclinical toxicity testing by regulatory agencies. The total number of animals to be used in this study is considered to be the minimum required to properly characterise the effects of the test item. This study has been designed such that it does not require an unnecessary number of animals to accomplish its objectives.
The oral route of exposure was selected because this is the intended route of human exposure. In the OECD 414 study (prenatal developmental toxicity), female rats dosed at 900 mg/kg bw/day had treatment related clinical signs like piloerection and lethargy, among others, that occurred over several days but mostly resolved by the end of treatment. Females had lower body weights and weight gains from Days 15-20 post coitum and absolute and relative food consumption was also lower Days 6-17 post coitum. There were no unscheduled deaths during the course of the study and no maternal toxicity was observed in the 100 or 300 mg/kg bw/day groups. No developmental toxicity was observed in the 100, 300 and 900 mg/kg bw/day groups. Based on the results in this prenatal developmental toxicity study (OECD 414, conducted with GLP certification) the maternal No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test substance was established as being 300 mg/kg bw/day and developmental NOAEL was established as 900 mg/kg bw/day.
The proposed dose levels for this study were: Low dose 100 mg/kg bw/day, Mid dose 300 mg/kg bw/day, High dose 900 mg/kg bw/day on the basis that evidence of systemic
toxicity will be observed at the top dose level.

Cohort 1B – PND 107-111
Procedure: Pairing was on a 1 male to 1 female basis. During the evening (after 5 pm), females were housed with their allocated co-group male partner. The animals were paired in ascending numerical order. Vaginal lavages were taken early each morning from the day of pairing until mating had occurred and the stage of estrous observed in each vaginal lavage was recorded. The day of detection of a copulatory plug in situ and/or of sperm in the lavage was designated Gestation Day 0.
The pairing period for each pair of animals was a maximum of 14 nights (unless a longer period was deemed appropriate).
If evidence of mating was not observed by the end of the pairing period, the female was separated from the male during the morning following the last night of pairing and treated as if mating had occurred during that night. Procedures for that female were continued as if it had mated on the last night of pairing.
For each female the time taken to show a positive mating sign and the number of failed opportunities to mate (estruses passed without a sign of mating) was evaluated. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:

- Parameters examined in F0 and Cohort 1A Males:
Computer Aided Sperm Assessment (CASA)
From all F0 and Cohort 1A males at terminal euthanasia, the right cauda epididymis was placed in 0.3% BSA in Medium 199 (as per SOP/PAT/069) and the sperm was allowed to “swim out” into the medium. An appropriate dilution of the sperm suspension was prepared and examined using a Hamilton Thorne sperm motility analyser.
Sperm Count and Morphological Analysis
The cauda epididymis was minced and suspended. Dilutions of this sperm suspension were counted using a haemocytometer to obtain a total sperm count which was expressed per cauda epididymis and per gram of cauda epididymis. Optionally, the cauda epididymis was frozen prior to assessment. From all samples of the sperm suspension described in the preceding paragraph, a sperm smear was prepared and stained with eosin Y solution. At least two hundred sperm per animal were evaluated for morphological abnormalities
Spermatid Count
The right testes was decapsulated and homogenised. The number of homogenisation resistant spermatids in dilutions of this suspension were counted using a haemocytometer to obtain a total spermatid count which was expressed per testis and per gram of testis. Optionally, the testis was frozen prior to assessment.
F0 Animals and Cohort 1A
Testis were weighed. - Litter observations:
- STANDARDISATION OF LITTERS
For females, on Lactation Day 4, litter size was standardised to 8 pups per litter (and if possible, comprised of 4 males and 4 females). Any additional pups were selected at random for use in blood-sampling or necropsy procedures. Where 4 males and 4 females were not available on PND 4, additional pups of the opposite sex were used to ensure there were a total of 8 pups. Where the total number of pups in the litter on PND 4 was 8 or fewer, no adjustment was performed. Where practicable, any pups that were found dead or were killed during the postnatal period were sexed and appropriately examined as above. Any externally abnormal decedent pup was preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin; externally normal pups were discarded.

PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The numbers of live and dead pups born in each litter were recorded as soon as possible after completion of parturition on LD 0. The live pups were counted and examined daily for the presence of milk in the stomach and for any externally visible abnormalities up to and including PND 4 and then on PND 7, 14 and 21. Individual pup weights were taken for each litter on PND 1, 4, 7, 14 and 21. A head count of the pups was performed each day.
Pre-Weaning Physical Development of F1 and F2 Pups:
Ano-genital distance was measured for the pups of both sexes on PND 1. Nipple retention was assessed in males on PND 13.
Assessment of Sexual Maturation Cohorts 1A+ Surplus Animals, 1B and 2A:
Commencing on PND 28, females were examined daily for vaginal opening. The day on which the vagina became open was recorded, as was the body weight on that day.
Commencing on PND 35, males were examined daily for balanopreputial separation. The day on which separation occurred was recorded, as was the body weight on that day.
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS:
Pups Found Dead or Euthanised Prematurely Before PND 14: Where practicable, these animals were sexed and then checked for the presence of milk in the stomach and for the presence of any externally visible abnormalities. Any externally abnormal pups were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for optional further examination. Externally normal pups were discarded.
Pups Found Dead or Euthanised Prematurely On or After PND 14: These animals were subject to a gross necropsy. An external examination was followed by an inspection of the cranial, thoracic and abdominal contents. Internal sex was also confirmed. Representative samples of any abnormal tissues were taken and fixed in neutral buffered 10% neutral buffered formalin. These carcasses were then discarded.
ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROTOXICITY:
Perfusion fixation, neuropathology and brain morphometry was performed for all animals. The fixed brains were removed and weighed, and the length and maximum width of the brain was measured for all animals selected for neuropathology.
Brain, dorsal root ganglion, and spinal cords tissues were prepared for neuropathology examination. Neuropathology and brain morphometry were performed.
ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL IMMUNOTOXICITY:
Lymph nodes were weighed to evaluate immunotoxic effects from 10 rats/sex/group from Groups 1-4.
One-half of the spleen was used for immunophenotyping assessment from 10 rats/sex/group from Groups 1-4. - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- GROSS NECROPSY
- Gross necropsy consisted of a complete necropsy examination, which included evaluation of the carcass and musculoskeletal system; all external surfaces and orifices; cranial cavity and external surfaces of the brain; and thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities with their associated organs and tissues. The reproductive tracts of all F0 females were be examined for signs of implantation, the number of any implantation sites being recorded. The total number of corpora lutea
graviditatis were recorded for each female. For F0 females necropsied on GD 24 as they had failed to produce a litter, the uteri of all non-pregnant females were examined for implantation sites and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. On GD 24, if a female was found to be pregnant, the number and type of any implantation sites were recorded and the total number of corpora lutea graviditatis were recorded also.

- Description (incidence and severity):
- At 900 mg/kg/day, decreased activity was observed for one male on Day 2 and abnormal, uncoordinated gait for 3 males and 4 females between Days 2 to 4. Decreased activity, abnormal, uncoordinated gait or low carriage were occasionally noted for a further 8 females between Days 5 to 70 and decreased activity on one occasion for each of 2 females during lactation. These findings were considered to be test item-related.
Salivation and/or ploughing (also a chewing action for one female at 900 mg/kg/day) were noted for all animals given ≥300 mg/kg/day and for several animals given 100 mg/kg/day, on multiple days throughout the dosing period. The incidence of these findings was dose level-related.
Animal 4515F (900 mg/kg/day) had abnormal clincal observations of irregular respiratory rate, hunched posture, erect fur, cold to touch, prominent backbone, abnormal gait, decreased activity and red discharge from vagina the day after parturition (LD 1) but these mostly resolved before scheduled termination. The clinical observations were considered to be likely due to the trauma of giving birth rather than being test item-related.
Animal 4525F (900 mg/kg/day) had abnormal clincal observations of irregular/decreased respiratory rate, erect fur, eyes partly closed, decreased activity up to 2-4 hours postdose on LD 7 only. No similar findings were observed for this animal during the dosing period and as a cause could not be determined, these findings were likely related to the dosing procedure. - Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- None of the unscheduled deaths were considered to be test item-related.
On Study Day 40, approximately 3 hours after dosing, Animal 4510F given 900 mg/kg/day was found with clinical signs of irregular respiratory rate, hunched posture, partly closed eyes, erect fur, uncoordinated and abnormal gait and decreased activity and was euthanised. There were no findings at necropsy or microscopically to suggest the likely cause of death. This animal had not had any abnormal clinical signs before this (apart from salivation and ploughing) and had consistently gained body weight.
Animals 2512F and 4502F given 100 or 900 mg/kg/day respectively, were euthanised on LD 1 or LD 0 and due to the very young age of the pups, they were also euthanised. Animal 2512F had clinical signs of irregular respiratory rate, hunched posture, pale skin and cold to touch, erect fur, uncoordinated and abnormal gait in the afternoon of LD 1. Animal 4502F was found subdued, cold to touch, prostrate/lying on side with decreased respiratory rate approximately 1 hour after dosing on LD 0. There were no findings at necropsy or microscopically to suggest the likely cause of death and both animals had not had any abnormal clinical signs before this (apart from salivation and ploughing for 4502F) and had consistently gained body weight. - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- For males given 900 mg/kg/day, there was slightly lower body weight gain over the dosing period resulting in male body weight being 3.6% lower than the concurrent control mean value by Day 134. For females given ≥ 100 mg/kg/day, a dose level-related higher body weight gain of up to 10.3% at 900 mg/kg/day compared to controls was noted during the pre-pairing period and this slightly higher body weight was generally maintained throughout gestation and lactation.
There was no test item-related effect on male body weight at 100 or 300 mg/kg/day. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were occasional slightly higher food consumption values of up to 14.4% of controls noted for males at 300 or 900 mg/kg/day up to Day 106. At ≥100 mg/kg/day for males from Days 106 to 134, there was higher food consumption of up to 17.5%. For females given ≥100 mg/kg/day, there was an overall dose level-related higher food consumption of up to 20.6% of control values during the pre-pairing period, and during gestation and lactation, food consumption was higher for females by up to 13.2% at 300 or 900 mg/kg/day only.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Haematology
See tables 18-19.
Coagulation
See tables 15-16.
All differences in haematology or coagulation parameters were considered not to be test item-related based on their small magnitude, inconsistent direction, absence of a dose response, general overlap of individual values with the range of control values and/or were of a magnitude of variation commonly observed in rats. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See tables 12-13.
At ≥300 mg/kg/day for males and ≥100 mg/kg/day for females, triglycerides were lower than controls by up to 0.75-fold, and for males only at ≥300 mg/kg/day, cholesterol higher by up to 1.30-fold. - Endocrine findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were slightly higher TSH levels (up to 3.1-fold of controls) for samples taken on the morning of necropsy in F0 adult males given 300 or 900 mg/kg/day.
There were no test item-related effects for F0 adult males given 100 mg/kg/day or F0 adult females given up to 900 mg/kg/day or for culled pups on PND 4 or unselected pups on PND 21.
There were no test item-related changes to T4 levels at up to 900 mg/kg/day for samples taken on the morning of necropsy for the F0 generation animals, for culled pups on PND 4 or unselected pups on PND 21.
The differences in these parameters were considered not to be test item-related based on their small magnitude, inconsistent direction, absence of a dose response, general overlap of individual values with the range of control and/or were of a magnitude of variation commonly observed in rats. - Urinalysis findings:

- Test item-related Microscopic Findings
In the liver, there was diffuse centrilobular hepatocyte hypertrophy of minimal to mild severity. For males only, this was seen in all dosage groups, whereas for females this was only identified in animals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day. Although this was also found in one control animal (M1021), the incidence was higher in animals treated with Omnirad 184 and followed a dose-related distribution. This finding was therefore considered test item-related in males dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day and in females dosed at 900 mg/kg/day.
The higher liver weights recorded in animals given Omnirad 184, were correlated to the histopathologic findings of centrilobular hypertrophy. This correlation was evident in the males dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day and females dosed at 900 mg/kg/day.
In the glandular portion of the stomach, there was diffuse mucosal hyperplasia with a minimal severity. This was characterised by an increase in the number of goblet cells. For males only, this was seen in at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day, whereas for females this was only identified in animals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day. Although this was also found in one control animal (M1013), the incidence was convincingly higher in animals treated with Omnirad 184 at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day and showed a dose-related distribution. This finding was therefore considered test item-related in males dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day and in females dosed at 900 mg/kg/day.
Additional Microscopic Findings:
In the spleen, there was a slightly higher incidence of increased hematopoietic cells with a minimal severity, primarily in males given Omnirad 184 at a doses of 100 mg/kg/day and 900 mg/kg/day. A slightly higher incidence was seen in females dosed at 900 mg/kg/day only. However, due to the overall low incidences and because this is a common background finding, it was considered not test item-related.
Other microscopic findings were of the nature commonly observed in this strain and age of rat, or occurred at a similar incidence in control and treated animals, and, therefore, were considered not to be test item-related. - Reproductive function: oestrous cycle:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no effect on the number or length of estrous cycles during the 2 weeks before pairing or during the mating period at up to 900 mg/kg/day, compared with controls.
On the morning of necropsy, while the majority of females in all groups were still in diestrus, a few in each group had come back into estrus. - Reproductive function: sperm measures:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See tables 27-28.
All differences in urine parameters were considered not to be test item-related based on their small magnitude, inconsistent direction, absence of a dose response, general overlap of individual values with the range of control and/or were of a magnitude of variation commonly observed in rats. - Reproductive performance:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- Salivation and/or ploughing were noted for all animals (except Surplus Animal 3650F) given ≥300 mg/kg/day and for a few animals given 100 mg/kg/day, on several days throughout the dosing period. The incidence of these findings was dose level-related.
Surplus Animal 4146M had erect fur on Day 5 postdose and 4147M had irregular respiratory rate, erect fur, eyes partly closed and abnormal gait on Day 4 postdose. Both animals (given 900 mg/kg/day) did not have any similar findings during the dosing period and as a cause could not be determined, these abnormal findings were likely related to the dosing procedure.
For all generations, the other clinical observations recorded were considered not to be test item-related as they were of low incidence, are commonly seen during gestation or lactation, were also seen in some control animals or were not dose level-related. - Mortality / viability:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Animal 3608F given 300 mg/kg/day had convulsions and died within minutes of receiving its first dose on Day 1. Grossly, the lungs had pale discoloration and abnormal consistency and the trachea had frothy pale content. Microscopically, there was multifocal mixed cell infiltration of the alveolar space of the lung which was considered to correlate with the gross findings in the lung. Overall, these findings were considered to have been related to the dosing procedure and were therefore considered to be the cause of death.
Control Animal 1628F was euthanised on LD 1 because all pups in the litter died. At necropsy, a pale pancreas was noted but no microscopic findings could be correlated and no cause of death was identified. The animal had not had any abnormal clinical signs before this and had consistently gained body weight.
Animal 4634F was found dead in the afternoon of LD 18. At necropsy, in the abdominal cavity, there was dark red fluid accumulation and a soft red mass adherent to the stomach. Microscopically this was correlated with a well demarcated hematocyst of marked severity in relation to hepatic tissue. This finding was considered to be the animal’s cause of death. As it’s pups had not been weaned, they were also euthanised. - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See tables 5-11.
For animals in Cohorts 1A and 1B, there was a general trend of slightly lower body weight gain (up to
7.0%) for males at 900 mg/kg/day compared to controls, but no test item related-effects for males at 100 or 300 mg/kg/day or females at ≥100 mg/kg/day during pre-pairing, gestation or lactation.
In Cohort 2A and for Surplus animals, body weight gain was variable and did not follow any trend. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were occasional higher food consumption values of up to 19.6% of controls noted for males at 300 or 900 mg/kg/day, in some F1 generation cohorts. There was a general trend of higher food consumption for females of up to 22.4% higher at 300 or 900 mg/kg/day but during gestation and lactation female food consumption was similar to controls.
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See table 20.
All differences in haematology or coagulation parameters were considered not to be test item-related based on their small magnitude, inconsistent direction, absence of a dose response, general overlap of individual values with the range of control values and/or were of a magnitude of variation commonly observed in rats. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See table 14.
At ≥100 mg/kg/day for males and females, triglycerides were lower than controls by up to 0.62-fold,
and at 900 mg/kg/day only, cholesterol higher by up to 1.25-fold.
For both generations, all other differences in clinical chemistry parameters were considered not to be test item-related based on their small magnitude, inconsistent direction, absence of a dose response, general overlap of individual values with the range of control and/or were of a magnitude of variation commonly observed in rats. - Urinalysis findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related

- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was considered to be no effect on sexual maturation for F1 males or females at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
- Anogenital distance (AGD):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There was no effect on anogenital distance or normalised anogenital distance for males or females at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
- Nipple retention in male pups:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- On PND 13, there was no effect on nipple retention in male pups i.e. no nipples were present, at dose levels up to 900 mg/kg/day.
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- F1 Cohort 1A
Test item-related Organ Weight Differences:
Liver weights in animals dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day were statistically significantly higher than the controls and showed a dose-related response. In males, liver weights were up to ~24% higher and in females up to ~29% higher (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day). This was therefore considered test item-related.
Kidney weights in animals dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day in males and at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day in females, were statistically significantly higher than the controls and showed a dose related response. In males, kidney weights were up to ~23% higher and in females up to ~16% higher (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day). Although this was not correlated to any microscopic findings, this was considered test item-related in view of the similar weight differences recorded in the F0 and F1 cohort 1B animals.
Additional Organ Weight Differences:
Testis weights relative to body weight were statistically significantly higher by ~11% only at 900 mg/kg/day compared to the controls. However, males dosed at 900 mg/kg/day had a lower terminal body weight and in view of the minor weight difference and no microscopic findings that could be correlated. This was therefore considered incidental.
Ovary weights were statistically significantly higher by ~19% (relative to body weight at 300 mg/kg/day). However, no histologic findings could be correlated to this finding and no similar differences were found in any other generation or cohort of animals, so this was considered incidental.
Thyroid/parathyroid gland weights were statistically significantly higher by ~21% (relative to body weight) in female animals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day, compared to controls. However, no histologic findings could be correlated to this finding, thyroid hormone was not increased in a noteworthy fashion, and no similar differences were found in any other generation or cohort of animals, so this was considered incidental.
Seminal vesicle weights were statistically significantly higher by ~22% (relative to body weight) in animals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day, compared to controls. However, no histologic findings could be correlated to this finding, so this was considered not test item-related.
There were individual organ weight values that were different from their respective controls. There were, however, no patterns or correlating data to suggest these values were test item-related.
F1 Cohort 1B
Test item-related Organ Weight Differences:
Liver weights in animals dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day were statistically significantly higher than the co
ntrols and showed a dose-related response. In males, liver weights were up to ~24% higher and in
females up to ~29% higher (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day). This was therefore considered
test item-related.
Kidney weights in animals dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day in males and at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day in females,
were statistically significantly higher than the controls and showed a dose related response. In males,
kidney weights were up to ~23% higher and in females up to ~16% higher (relative to body weight
at 900 mg/kg/day). Although this was not correlated to any microscopic findings, this was considere
d test item-related in view of the similar weight differences recorded in the F0 and F1 cohort 1B an
imals.
Additional Organ Weight Differences:
Testis weights relative to body weight were statistically significantly higher by ~11% only at 900 mg/
kg/day compared to the controls. However, males dosed at 900 mg/kg/day had a lower terminal b
ody weight and in view of the minor weight difference and no microscopic findings that could be corr
elated. This was therefore considered incidental.
Ovary weights were statistically significantly higher by ~19% (relative to body weight at 300 mg/kg/
day). However, no histologic findings could be correlated to this finding and no similar differences
were found in any other generation or cohort of animals, so this was considered incidental.
Thyroid/parathyroid gland weights were statistically significantly higher by ~21% (relative to body
weight) in female animals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day, compared to controls. However, no histologic fi
ndings could be correlated to this finding, thyroid hormone was not increased in a noteworthy fashio
n, and no similar differences were found in any other generation or cohort of animals, so this was c
onsidered incidental.
Seminal vesicle weights were statistically significantly higher by ~22% (relative to body weight) in
animals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day, compared to controls. However, no histologic findings could be co
rrelated to this finding, so this was considered not test item-related.
(Cohort 2A, 2B, F1 unselected pups, F2 unselected pups):
There were no test item-related organ weight differences. - Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Scheduled Euthanasia Animals - F1 Animals:
There were no test item-related gross findings.
Gross findings observed were of the nature commonly observed in this strain and age of rat, or occurred at a similar incidence in control and treated animals, and, therefore, were considered not to be test item-related.
Scheduled Euthanasia Animals (F1 Unselected pups):
There were no test item-related gross pathology findings.
The only abnormality noted was a dark red focus on the thymus in one male pup. Although the parents of these pups had been given Omnirad 184 at a dose of 900 mg/kg/day, this finding was considered not to be test item-related because it is a common agonal change. - Histopathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- (Cohort 1A)
In the liver, there was diffuse centrilobular hypertrophy of minimal to mild severity. For males only,
this was seen in all dosage groups, whereas for females this was only identified in animals dosed at
≥ 300 mg/kg/day. The incidence followed a dose-related distribution and was therefore considered
test item-related in males dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day and in females dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day.
The higher liver weights recorded in animals given Omnirad 184 were correlated to the histopat
hologic findings of centrilobular hypertrophy. This correlation was evident in males dosed at ≥ 100 mg/
kg/day and females at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day.
In the glandular portion of the stomach, there was diffuse mucosal hyperplasia with a minimal seve
rity. This was characterised by an increase in the number of goblet cells. For both females and male
s, this was seen at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day. Although at a low incidence, this finding was only seen in anim
als treated with Omnirad 184 and in view of similar findings seen in the F0 generation, this finding was
considered test item-related in males and females dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day.
Additional Microscopic Findings:
In the kidneys, there was a higher incidence of basophilic tubules with a minimal to mild severity, in
male animals given Omnirad 184 at a dose of 900 mg/kg/day. This was however a small difference
and although the males from F0 and F1 cohort 1B showed a similar difference, it was even less appa
rent at the highest dose level (900 mg/kg/day). Due to the fact that this lesion is a common backgro
und finding and occurred at a low severity, this was considered incidental.
In the liver of three animals given Omnirad 184 (two females dosed at 100 mg/kg/day and one female
dosed at 300 mg/kg/day), there was focal necrosis with subacute inflammation in the medial lobe
parenchyma, with a mild severity. Due to the low incidence, this finding was considered not test item related.
(Cohort 1B)
In the liver, there was diffuse centrilobular hypertrophy of minimal to mild severity. For males only, t
his was seen in all dosage groups, whereas for females this was only identified in animals dosed at
≥ 300 mg/kg/day. The overall incidence followed a dose related distribution and was therefore consid
ered test item-related in males dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day and in females dosed at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day.
The higher liver weights recorded in animals given Omnirad 184, was correlated to the histop
athologic findings of centrilobular hypertrophy. This correlation was evident in males dosed at ≥ 100
mg/kg/day and females at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day. There were no test item-related microscopic findings in
the reproductive tissues.
(F1 Cohort 2A and 2B)
There were no test item-related microscopic findings. Microscopic findings occurred at similar incid
ences in control and treated animals, and, therefore, were considered not to be test item-related. - Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Acoustic startle:
There were no test item-related effects on maximum response amplitude, average response amplitude or time to maximum response in males or females at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
Estrous Cycles:
The number of days after vaginal opening before an estrus occurred was comparable with controls at all test item dose levels. There was no effect on the number or length of estrous cycles during the 2 weeks before necropsy at up to 900 mg/kg/day, compared with controls.
There was no effect on the number or length of estrous cycles during the 2 weeks before pairing or during the mating period at up to 900 mg/kg/day, compared with controls.
Mating Performance, Fertility and Duration of Gestation:
The following Cohort 1B females were euthanised on GD 24 as they had failed to produce litters and were found not to be pregnant; 1629F (control), 2624F, 2627F, 2628F and 2637F (100 mg/kg/day) and 3629F (300 mg/kg/day).
See table 22, table 24, and table 26

Abnormalities noted at necropsy included a dark red focus on the thymus in one female pup. Although the parents of these pups had been given Omnirad 184 at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day, this finding was considered not to be test item-related because it is a common agonal change. In the liver of one male and three female pups whose parents had been treated with Omnirad 184 at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day there was mottled discoloration, abnormal appearance and a pale nodule on the medial lobe. Due to the low incidence and because no other animals were found with these gross lesions, they were considered not test item-related. - Histopathological findings:

- Conclusions:
- The administration of Omnirad 184 once daily (or twice daily 3 hours apart on some occasions) via
oral gavage was well tolerated in Han Wistar rats at dose levels of up to 900 mg/kg/day with no
test item-related deaths. There were occasional observations of decreased activity, abnormal, un
coordinated gait and low carriage for F0 animals at 900 mg/kg/day and for F0 and F1 animals, dose le
vel-related salivation and/or ploughing. F0 and F1 males at 900 mg/kg/day had slightly lower body we
ight gain, and F0 and F1 females a slightly higher dose level-related body weight gain at ≥ 100 mg/kg/
day. Food consumption was generally slightly higher for males and females at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day. Ther
e were no test item-related effects on F0 and F1 generation fertility, mating or reproduction, or F1 and
F2 generation pup numbers, survival or development. For males at 900 mg/kg/day, motor activity
was 9.6% or 12.7% lower overall for basic or fine movements, respectively, but this was not confirme
d by overall ambulation values, or any associated clinical findings, detailed functional observations or
brain morphometry values for Cohort 2A. Triglyceride values were lower for F0 males given ≥300 mg/
kg/day, F0 females and F1 animals given ≥100 mg/kg/day, and cholesterol values higher for F0 male
s only at ≥300 mg/kg/day and F1 animals at 900 mg/kg/day. There were slightly higher TSH levels
(up to 3.1-fold of controls) on the morning of necropsy in F0 and F1 adult males given 300 or 900 mg/
kg/day. There were no test item-related effects on haematology, coagulation, urinalysis, T4 values
or the immune cell populations analysed for immunophenotyping, at up to 900 mg/kg/day. Target
organ effects were observed at dose levels of ≥100 mg/kg/day and consisted of centrilobular hypertro
phy in the liver and stomach mucosal hyperplasia of the glandular region. Higher liver and/or kidney
weights were seen in both sexes. In neurological investigations, there were no test item-related brain
weight differences, gross or histological findings or effects on the brain dimensions. There were no
histological findings in the reproductive tissues of the females that had not been observed to litter tha
t would have caused reduced fertility. The NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for F0 and F1
adult toxicity, male and female fertility and reproduction was considered to be 900 mg/kg/day as the i
n-life and pathological findings were considered not to be adverse. For F1 and F2 developmental para
meters, the NOAEL was considered to be 900 mg/kg/day as there were no test item-related effects on
the pup numbers, survival or development. - Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to determine the potential toxicity of the chemical Omnirad 184, when given by oral gavage to adult rats and their offspring. This study was designed to provide an evaluation of reproduction and development as well as a thorough evaluation of systemic toxicity in pregnant and lactating females and their offspring. Detailed examination of key developmental endpoints, such as offspring viability, neonatal health, developmental status at birth, physical and functional development until adulthood, nervous and immune system development was expected to identify any specific target organs in the offspring. In addition, the study provided information about the effects of Omnirad 184 on the integrity and performance of the adult male and female reproductive systems and a neurobehavioural assessment of the F1 generation.
The study design was as follows:

a Cohort 2B were not dosed as they were terminated on PND 21/22.
In Week 17 of the study (F0 dosing and the start of F1 dosing), the 900 mg/kg/day dosing formulation could not be pulled up into the gavage tube being used for newly weaned pups, due to an unknown viscosity property, resulting in some subsets of F0 and/or F1 animals either not being dosed or being given the 300 mg/kg/day formulation either once or twice daily instead (refer to section 4.6.1 for details). From 19 Aug 2021, Group 4 F1 animals were dosed twice daily 3 hours apart at 450 mg/kg (equivalent to 900 mg/kg/day) until they were old enough for the next size gavage tube on 30 Aug 2021. Although there were occasions when animals were not dosed or received a dose level lower than that required by the study protocol, there was considered to be no overall impact on the results or study outcome due to the length of time that each generation was administered the test item dose levels correctly.
The following parameters and end points were evaluated in this study: clinical observations, body weights, food consumption, estrous cycles, mating performance, fertility indices, duration of gestation and overall litter performance, litter survival indices, litter and pup weights, pre-weaning physical development of F1 pups, assessments of sexual maturation of F1 animals, clinical pathology parameters (haematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) analysis, gross necropsy findings, splenic immunophenotyping analysis, organ weights, sperm evaluation, ovarian follicle counts and histopathological examinations.
None of the unscheduled deaths in any generation were considered to be test item-related.
For the F0 generation at 900 mg/kg/day, test item-related clinical observations of decreased activity, abnormal/uncoordinated gait and low carriage were occasionally seen for males and/or females before pairing, and decreased activity only during lactation. For F0 and F1 generations, salivation and/or ploughing were noted for all animals given ≥300 mg/kg/day and for several animals given 100 mg/kg/day, throughout the dosing periods. F0 and F1 males given 900 mg/kg/day had slightly lower body weight gain, and F0 females a slightly higher dose level-related body weight gain at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day. Food consumption was generally slightly higher for males and females at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day.
There were no test item-related effects on F0 and F1 generation fertility, mating or reproduction, or F1 and F2 generation pup numbers, survival or development.
For males at 900 mg/kg/day, during the last 20 minutes of the 1 hour session, motor activity was 9.6% or 12.7% lower overall for basic or fine movements, respectively. Ambulation values were also lower for the same time period, but this was not confirmed by the overall ambulation values. As there were no clinical findings or detailed functional observations recorded that could have been associated with this, the cause of this apparent reduction in motor activity could not be determined.
For F0 males given ≥300 mg/kg/day and F0 females given ≥100 mg/kg/day, triglycerides were lower by up to 0.75-fold, and for males only, cholesterol higher by up to 1.3-fold. For F1 animals at ≥100 mg/kg/day, triglycerides were lower than controls by up to 0.62-fold, and at 900 mg/kg/day only, cholesterol higher by up to 1.25-fold. There were slightly higher TSH levels (up to 3.1-fold of controls) for samples taken on the morning of necropsy in F0 and F1 adult males given 300 or 900 mg/kg/day. There were no test item-related effects on haematology, coagulation, urinalysis, T4 values or the immune cell populations analysed for immunophenotyping, at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
In the F0 animals dosed from 10 weeks prior to mating and continuing throughout mating and gestation until the females were at least LD 21, microscopically, centrilobular hypertrophy in the liver was considered test item-related in all dose groups in males but only at 900 mg/kg/day in females and mucosal hyperplasia of the glandular region, appearing as an increased number of goblet cells, was considered test item-related at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day in males and only at 900 mg/kg/day in females. Higher liver and kidney weights were seen in both sexes at all dose levels.
In the F1 cohort 1A animals, dosed from PND 21 until at least PND 90, microscopically there was diffuse centrilobular hypertrophy in the liver. This finding was considered test item-related at all dose levels in males and only at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day in females. In the stomach, there was mucosal hyperplasia of the glandular regions, appearing as an increased number of goblet cells. This finding was considered test item-related in males and females at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day. Liver weights were higher at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day in males and females. In addition, higher kidney weights were seen in females at all dose levels and at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day in males.
In the F1 cohort 1B animals, that were used to produce an F2 generation, and that were dosed from PND 21 until at least LD 21, microscopically there was diffuse centrilobular hypertrophy in the liver. This finding was considered test item-related at all dose levels in males and only at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day in females. Liver weights were higher at all dose levels in males and only at 900 mg/kg/day in females. In addition, higher kidney weights were seen in animals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day. Stomachs were not assessed microscopically in these animals. There were no test item-related organ weight differences in the female reproductive tissues.
There were no test item-related organ weight differences in a limited list of tissues in F1 and F2 pups that were euthanised at PND 21 without active dosing.
In the F1 cohort 2A and 2B animals used for neurological investigations (euthanised on PND 21 or dosed from PND 21 until at least PND 78-80), there were no test item-related brain weight differences, gross or histological findings or effects on the brain dimensions.
There were no test item-related gross findings in the entire study, and there were only 6 premature deaths, all of which were considered not test item-related.
There were no histological findings in the reproductive tissues of the females that had not been observed to litter that would have caused reduced fertility.
In conclusion, administration of Omnirad 184 by once daily (or twice daily 3 hours apart on some occasions) oral gavage was well tolerated in Han Wistar rats at dose levels of up to 900 mg/kg/day with no test item-related deaths. There were occasional observations of decreased activity, abnormal, uncoordinated gait and low carriage for F0 animals at 900 mg/kg/day and for F0 and F1 animals, dose level-related salivation and/or ploughing. F0 and F1 males at 900 mg/kg/day had slightly lower body weight gain, and F0 and F1 females a slightly higher dose level-related body weight gain at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day. Food consumption was generally slightly higher for males and females at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day. There were no test item-related effects on F0 and F1 generation fertility, mating or reproduction, or F1 and F2 generation pup numbers, survival or development. For males at 900 mg/kg/day, motor activity was 9.6% or 12.7% lower overall for basic or fine movements, respectively, but this was not confirmed by overall ambulation values, or any associated clinical findings, detailed functional observations or brain morphometry values for Cohort 2A. Triglyceride values were lower for F0 males given ≥300 mg/kg/day, F0 females and F1 animals given ≥100 mg/kg/day, and cholesterol values higher for F0 males only at ≥300 mg/kg/day and F1 animals at 900 mg/kg/day. There were slightly higher TSH levels (up to 3.1-fold of controls) on the morning of necropsy in F0 and F1 adult males given 300 or 900 mg/kg/day. There were no test item-related effects on haematology, coagulation, urinalysis, T4 values or the immune cell populations analysed for immunophenotyping, at up to 900 mg/kg/day. Target organ effects were observed at dose levels of ≥100 mg/kg/day and consisted of centrilobular hypertrophy in the liver and stomach mucosal hyperplasia of the glandular region. Higher liver and/or kidney weights were seen in both sexes. In neurological investigations, there were no test item-related brain weight differences, gross or histological findings or effects on the brain dimensions. There were no histological findings in the reproductive tissues of the females that had not been observed to litter that would have caused reduced fertility. The NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for F0 and F1 adult toxicity, male and female fertility and reproduction was considered to be 900 mg/kg/day as the in-life and pathological findings were considered not to be adverse. For F1 and F2 developmental parameters, the NOAEL was considered to be 900 mg/kg/day as there were no test item-related effects on the pup numbers, survival or development.
