ECHA decisions on testing proposals:
Target substance requirement:
Extended one-generation reproductive toxicity study (Annex X, Section 8.7.3.; test method: OECD TG 443) in rats, oral (gavage) route specified as follows:
- Ten weeks premating exposure duration for the parental (P0) generation;
- Dose level setting shall aim to induce systemic toxicity at the highest dose level;
- Cohort 1A (Reproductive toxicity);
- Cohort 1B (Reproductive toxicity) without extension to mate the Cohort 1B animals to produce the F2 generation.
Source substance requirement:
Additional data generated from the extension to mate the Cohort 1B to produce the F2 generation and also the Cohorts 2A and 2B (developmental neurotoxicity) was a requirement of the decision on a testing proposal for the source Hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone (TPE-D-2114510002-76-01/F) and that this has been included for openness and completeness of reporting of the actual experimental study performed. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 10 animals per sex per dose
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At 900 mg/kg/day, decreased activity was observed for one male on Day 2 and abnormal, unco
ordinated gait for 3 males and 4 females between Days 2 to 4. Decreased activity, abnormal, uncoord
inated 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 cons
idered 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 thro
ughout 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, hunc
hed 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, unc
oordinated 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, uncoor
dinated 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. Th
ere were no findings at necropsy or microscopically to suggest the likely cause of death and both an
imals had not had any abnormal clinical signs before this (apart from salivation and ploughing for 4
502F) and had consistently gained body weight. - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Tables 1-4.
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 90
0 mg/kg/day compared to controls was noted during the pre-pairing period and this slightly higher bo
dy 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 prep
airing
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 overl
ap of individual values with the range of control values and/or were of a magnitude of variation com
monly 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, 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 gi
ven 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:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- 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 m
agnitude, 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. - Immunological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Splenic Immunophenotyping Evaluation:
The results demonstrated no test item, dose-dependent or sex-dependent effects on any of the
immune cell populations in either the F0 adults rats analysed following administration of Omnirad 184
by oral gavage. - Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Liver weights in animals dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day, were statistically significantly higher than the
controls and showed a dose-related response. In males, liver weights were up to ~35% higher and in f
emales up to ~28% higher (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day). This was considered test item-r
elated.
Kidney weights in animals dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day, were statistically significantly higher than the c
ontrols and showed a dose-related response. In males, kidney weights were up to ~30% higher and
in females up to ~21% higher (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day). Although this could not be
correlated to any microscopic findings, it was considered test item-related in view of the similar weigh
t differences recorded in the F1 cohort 1A and 1B animals.
Additional Organ Weight Difference:
Testis weights (absolute, relative to %body or %brain weights) were statistically significantly higher by ~12% (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day) compared to the controls. Although the fact that males dosed at 900 mg/kg/day had a lower terminal body weight would increase testis weight relative t o body weight, it is important to note that absolute weight was increased also. Although similar weight differences were seen in the F1 cohort 1A and 1B animals. This was however considered incidental
in view of the minor weight difference and no microscopic findings that could be correlated.
Heart weights were statistically higher in females dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day. No microscopic find
ings could be correlated to this, it was not dose-related, and this difference was not seen in the other
gene rations and it was therefore 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. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 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 occur
red at a similar incidence in control and treated animals, and, therefore, were considered not to be
test item-related. - Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 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 ani
mals dosed at 900 mg/kg/day. Although this was also found in one control animal (M1021), the
incidence was higher in animals treated with the test material and followed a dose-related distribution.
This finding was therefore considered test item-related in males dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day and in f
emales dosed at 900 mg/kg/day.
The higher liver weights recorded in animals given the test material, were correlated to the histopatholo
gic 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 distribut
ion. 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 the test material 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 i
tem-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. - Other effects:

- no effects observed
- Early or late resorptions:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- F0 Control Animal 1524F and Animal 4511F given 900 mg/kg/day were terminated on GD 24 as they had failed to produce litters. At necropsy, 1524F had 2 implants (one early resorption) and 4511F was not pregnant.

- Changes in number of pregnant:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- F0 control 1520F was found not to be pregnant at scheduled necropsy.
F0 Control Animal 1524F and Animal 4511F given 900 mg/kg/day were terminated on GD 24 as they had failed to produce litters. At necropsy, 1524F had 2 implants (one early resorption) and 4511F was not pregnant.
F0 Animals 1501F, 1502F, 1506F, 1518F, 1521F (control), 2517F (100 mg/kg/day), 350F2 (300 mg/kg/day) and 4523F (900 mg/kg/day) did not have a positive mating sign during pairing and therefore gave birth before their expected GD 21.
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). - Other effects:

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. - Reduction in number of live offspring:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- Dam and Litter Observations During Lactation:
There were no test item-related effects noted for the F0 or Cohort 1B dams or their litters during lactation at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
Nipple Retention:
F0 and F1 Generations:
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.
Assessment of Sexual Maturation:
F1 Generation:
There was considered to be no effect on sexual maturation for F1 males or females at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
Acoustic Startle:
F1 Generation:
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.
Motor Activity:
F1 Generation:
For males at 900 mg/kg/day, the number of basic and fine movements were lower than controls by up to 70.1% from 40 to 60 minutes of the 1 hour session; this 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 reduction in motor activity, the cause of this apparent reduction in motor activity could not be determined.
At 100 or 300 mg/kg/day for males and ≥ 100 mg/kg/day for females, there were no notable effects on overall basic or fine activity or ambulation, compared with control values.
Brain Morphometry Evaluation:
Cohort 2A
No test item-related effects were seen in the brain morphometry parameters.
The length and width of the brain, as measured grossly, were compared between controls and animals at 900 mg/kg/day. The mean values were similar and were considered not to show a test item-relationship.
Cohort 2B
The only statistically significant difference was that the thickness of the cerebral cortex (motor) in males was ~7% less than controls at 900 mg/kg/day. This was considered due to chance and not test item-related, because other parameters were not affected and in females, the thickness of the cerebral cortex (motor) was not statistically significantly less at 900 mg/kg/day compared to the controls (it was only ~5% less).
Other brain morphometry parameters at 900 mg/kg/day were different from the control means, but were within 10% of the controls and not statistically significant, so were considered not test item-related.
The length and width of the brain, as measured grossly, were compared between controls and animals at 900 mg/kg/day. The mean values were similar and were considered not to show a test item-relationship. - Key result

- Conclusions:
- The administration of the target substance 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:
Read-across approach:
The methodology used for choosing potential read-across source substances for this current assessment was two-fold:
- Identify substances that have a similar molecular structure to the target substance, for example, having common functional groups as well as likely having structurally-similar degradation products, and
- Identify which of these source substances have the necessary toxicology data to fulfil the data gap.
The substance finally selected for the read-across source met the scientific hypothesis and comparison criteria below:
- The target and source substance are small molecules with common functional groups which will influence their toxicokinetic behaviour. The predicted metabolic route and hence breakdown products within the body are common for both substances.
- A comparison of existing mammalian (rat) toxicity data shows that both substances were of low toxicity, with both having high values for No Observed Adverse Effect Levels (NOAEL) for repeated dose toxicity studies in rats. In particular, no developmental toxicity was observed in either substance at the dose levels tested.
- The intended use of both substances is as Photoinitiators which means high commonality in the manufacture, formulation and use. Thus the potential for (accidental) human and environmental exposure is the same for both substances.
It is therefore concluded that the target substance will have the same reproductive toxicity outcomes as that of the source substance for an Extended One Generation Reproductive Toxicity (EOGRT) Study.
Executive summary of the study:
The objective of this study was to determine the potential toxicity of the test item, 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 the test item 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 the test item 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.

- Frequency: F0 - Day 71
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 numer
ical 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 f
rom the male during the morning following the last night of pairing and treated as if mating had occ
urred 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 t
o mate (estruses passed without a sign of mating) was evaluated. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- F0 Males: 10 weeks prior to mating and continuing throughout and after mating until the day before t
ermination.
F0 Females: 10 weeks prior to mating and continuing throughout mating and gestation until at least
LD 21.

Mortality:
All F0 animals. At least twice daily (once at the start and once towards the end of the working day)
beginning upon arrival through termination/release. - Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination
Examinations included:
- Gravid uterus weight
- Number of corpora lutea
- Number of implantations
- Number of early resorptions
- Number of late resorptions - Blood sampling:
- Blood sampling for TSH and T4 analysis
- Fetal examinations:
- 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 o
f 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.
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 va
gina 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 wh
ich 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 extern
ally 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 t
issues 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 b
rains 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.
Necropsy (F1 and F2 Culled PND 4 and Unselected PND 21 pups):
Culled pups on PND 4 were necropsied. Necropsy consisted of external examination followed by
macroscopic examination of the tissues and organs of the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities
in situ. Samples of any grossly abnormal tissues were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin or
other appropriate fixative. The carcasses were discarded.
All unselected pups on PND 21 were necropsied. Necropsy consisted of external examination
followed by macroscopic examination of the tissues and organs of the cranial, thoracic and abdomina
l cavities in situ. Representative samples of abnormal tissues were preserved in 10% neutral buffere
d formalin or other appropriate fixative. For F1 and F2 pups, tissue samples and weights of the foll
owing tissues were taken from 10 male and 10 female pups per group and were preserved in 10%
neutral buffered formalin or other appropriate fixative: Brain, mammary gland, parathyroid gland,
thyroid gland, liver, ovary, spleen, testes, thymus.
Where 10 pups of each sex were not available for organ weight and tissue collection, additional pups
of the opposite sex were selected such that 20 animals per group had organ weights and tissues
collected.
Necropsy (Cohort 1B Animals):
Animals were subjected to a complete necropsy examination, which included evaluation of the carcas
s 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 F1 females were 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 F1 females necropsied on GD 24 as they had failed to produce a litter, the uteri
of all non-pregnant females were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin after being examined for
implantation sites. On GD 24, if a female was found to be pregnant, the number and type of any impl
antation sites were recorded and the total number of corpora lutea graviditatis were recorded also.
Transcardial Perfusion Fixation of Cohorts 2A and 2B:
All animals were subjected to a limited examination, with special attention being paid to the reproducti
ve organs.
The head (with brain exposed), spinal cord and hindlimbs (Cohort 2A) and head (with brain exposed)
(Cohort 2B) was placed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and allowed to fix for at least 7 days. The
fixed brains were removed and weighed, and the length and maximum width of the brain was
measured for all animals selected for neuropathology. Subsequently, the brain was fixed in 10% neut
ral buffered formalin together with selected PNS tissues. - Statistics:

Descriptive Statistical Analyses:
Means, standard deviations, percentages, numbers, and/or incidences have been reported as approp
riate by dataset.
Inferential Statistical Methods:
All statistical tests were conducted at the 5% significance level. All pairwise comparisons were c
onducted using two sided tests and have been reported at the 1% and 5% levels.
The pairwise comparisons of interest are listed below:
Group 2 vs. Group 1
Group 3 vs. Group 1
Group 4 vs. Group 1
Analyses were performed according to the matrix below when possible but excluded any group with
less than 3 observations.
See Table 43 below.
Parametric/Non-parametric:
Levene’s test was used to assess the homogeneity of group variances.
The groups were compared using an overall one-way ANOVA F-test if Levene’s test was not signif
icant or the Kruskal-Wallis test if it was significant. If the overall F-test or Kruskal Wallis test was found
to be significant, then pairwise comparisons were conducted using Dunnett’s or Dunn’s test, respect
ively.
Non-Parametric:
The groups were compared using an overall Kruskal-Wallis test. If the overall Kruskal-Wallis test
was found to be significant, then the above pairwise comparisons were conducted using Dunn’s test
(equivalent to Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test in Nevis 2012 tables). - Indices:
- Reproductive indices
Female Mating Index = Number of Females with Evidence of Mating (or no confirmed mating date and
pregnant) / Number of Females Paired
Female Fertility Index = Number of Pregnant Females / Number of Females with Evidence of Mating

- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At 900 mg/kg/day, decreased activity was observed for one male on Day 2 and abnormal, unco
ordinated gait for 3 males and 4 females between Days 2 to 4. Decreased activity, abnormal, uncoord
inated 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 cons
idered 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 thro
ughout 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, hunc
hed 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, unc
oordinated 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, uncoor
dinated 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. Th
ere were no findings at necropsy or microscopically to suggest the likely cause of death and both an
imals had not had any abnormal clinical signs before this (apart from salivation and ploughing for 4
502F) and had consistently gained body weight. - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- See Tables 1-4.
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 90
0 mg/kg/day compared to controls was noted during the pre-pairing period and this slightly higher bo
dy 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 prep
airing
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 overl
ap of individual values with the range of control values and/or were of a magnitude of variation com
monly 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, 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 gi
ven 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:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- 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 m
agnitude, 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. - Immunological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Splenic Immunophenotyping Evaluation:
The results demonstrated no test item, dose-dependent or sex-dependent effects on any of the
immune cell populations in either the F0 adults rats analysed following administration of Omnirad 184
by oral gavage. - Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Liver weights in animals dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day, were statistically significantly higher than the
controls and showed a dose-related response. In males, liver weights were up to ~35% higher and in f
emales up to ~28% higher (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day). This was considered test item-r
elated.
Kidney weights in animals dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day, were statistically significantly higher than the c
ontrols and showed a dose-related response. In males, kidney weights were up to ~30% higher and
in females up to ~21% higher (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day). Although this could not be
correlated to any microscopic findings, it was considered test item-related in view of the similar weigh
t differences recorded in the F1 cohort 1A and 1B animals.
Additional Organ Weight Difference:
Testis weights (absolute, relative to %body or %brain weights) were statistically significantly higher by ~12% (relative to body weight at 900 mg/kg/day) compared to the controls. Although the fact that males dosed at 900 mg/kg/day had a lower terminal body weight would increase testis weight relative t o body weight, it is important to note that absolute weight was increased also. Although similar weight differences were seen in the F1 cohort 1A and 1B animals. This was however considered incidental
in view of the minor weight difference and no microscopic findings that could be correlated.
Heart weights were statistically higher in females dosed at ≥ 100 mg/kg/day. No microscopic find
ings could be correlated to this, it was not dose-related, and this difference was not seen in the other
gene rations and it was therefore 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. - Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 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 occur
red at a similar incidence in control and treated animals, and, therefore, were considered not to be
test item-related. - Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- 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 ani
mals 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 f
emales dosed at 900 mg/kg/day.
The higher liver weights recorded in animals given Omnirad 184, were correlated to the histopatholo
gic 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 distribut
ion. 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 i
tem-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. - Other effects:

- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- F0 Control Animal 1524F and Animal 4511F given 900 mg/kg/day were terminated on GD 24 as they had failed to produce litters. At necropsy, 1524F had 2 implants (one early resorption) and 4511F was not pregnant.

- Description (incidence and severity):
- F0 control 1520F was found not to be pregnant at scheduled necropsy.
F0 Control Animal 1524F and Animal 4511F given 900 mg/kg/day were terminated on GD 24 as they had failed to produce litters. At necropsy, 1524F had 2 implants (one early resorption) and 4511F was not pregnant.
F0 Animals 1501F, 1502F, 1506F, 1518F, 1521F (control), 2517F (100 mg/kg/day), 350F2 (300 mg/kg/day) and 4523F (900 mg/kg/day) did not have a positive mating sign during pairing and therefore gave birth before their expected GD 21.
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). - Other effects:

- 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. - Reduction in number of live offspring:

There was no effect on anogenital distance or normalised anogenital distance for males or females at up to 900 mg/kg/day. - Changes in postnatal survival:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- F1 and F2 Generations:
Pup numbers and viability on PND 1 to 4 and PND 4 to 21 were comparable to controls at all test item dose levels administered. - External malformations:
- not specified
- Skeletal malformations:

- Description (incidence and severity):
- Dam and Litter Observations During Lactation:
There were no test item-related effects noted for the F0 or Cohort 1B dams or their litters during lactation at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
Nipple Retention:
F0 and F1 Generations:
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.
Assessment of Sexual Maturation:
F1 Generation:
There was considered to be no effect on sexual maturation for F1 males or females at up to 900 mg/kg/day.
Acoustic Startle:
F1 Generation:
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.
Motor Activity:
F1 Generation:
For males at 900 mg/kg/day, the number of basic and fine movements were lower than controls by up to 70.1% from 40 to 60 minutes of the 1 hour session; this 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 reduction in motor activity, the cause of this apparent reduction in motor activity could not be determined.
At 100 or 300 mg/kg/day for males and ≥ 100 mg/kg/day for females, there were no notable effects on overall basic or fine activity or ambulation, compared with control values.
Brain Morphometry Evaluation:
Cohort 2A
No test item-related effects were seen in the brain morphometry parameters.
The length and width of the brain, as measured grossly, were compared between controls and animals at 900 mg/kg/day. The mean values were similar and were considered not to show a test item-relationship.
Cohort 2B
The only statistically significant difference was that the thickness of the cerebral cortex (motor) in males was ~7% less than controls at 900 mg/kg/day. This was considered due to chance and not test item-related, because other parameters were not affected and in females, the thickness of the cerebral cortex (motor) was not statistically significantly less at 900 mg/kg/day compared to the controls (it was only ~5% less).
Other brain morphometry parameters at 900 mg/kg/day were different from the control means, but were within 10% of the controls and not statistically significant, so were considered not test item-related.
The length and width of the brain, as measured grossly, were compared between controls and animals at 900 mg/kg/day. The mean values were similar and were considered not to show a test item-relationship.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- 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.

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.
