Description of key information

No evidence of carcinogenicity was observed in rats exposed to Terfenadine in thier diets. The read-across approach is applied in order to transfer the terfenadine information to FEXO-080.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Carcinogenicity: via oral route

Reference
Endpoint:
carcinogenicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summarising Terfenadine pharmaco-toxicological properties, was used. However the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used. The used secondary source has been updated on 2012; therefore it covers the most updated literature on the substance.
Qualifier:

not specified
Route of administration:
oral: unspecified
Details on exposure:
18-month study in mice

Relevance of carcinogenic effects / potential:
No evidence of carcinogenicity was observed in rats exposed to terfenadine in their diets. The read-across approach is applied in order to transfer the Terfenadine information to FEXO-080
Conclusions:
According to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the substance should not be classified for carcinogenicity.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Study duration:
chronic
Species:
other: rat and mouse

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the substance should not be classified for carcinogenicity.
