VALUE)PDE value 0.333mg/day

OEL value 0.026 mg/m3/day

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Pharmacodynamics data Dapagliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose

contransporter 2(SGLT2), the major transporter

responsible for renal glucose re-absorption which is

primarily located in the proximal tubule of the nephron.

Acute toxicity Oral LD50 was found to be 750 mg/kg in rats and 3000

mg/kg in mice, no mortality but emesis was observed in

the single-dose dog study.

Repeated dose toxicity Repeated dose toxicity studies were performed in rats,

mice and dogs. Decreased activity, abdominal distention

and hunched posture were observed at all doses in the 3-

month mouse toxicity study. In rats the target organs for

toxicity were kidney and bone. Dose related changes

were seen in dogs such as increase in urine volume,

total urine glucose, calcium and phosphorus, increase in

absolute and relative adrenal gland weight (males and

females), liver (males) and kidney (males), decreased

urine osmolality, no organ toxicity was observed even

at very high dose of dapagliflozin.

Carcinogenicity No evidence of carcinogenic potential in 2 years study

in mice and rats.

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd Genotoxicity studies Dapagliflozin propanediol was not mutagenic or

clastogenic in an in vitro Ames assay or in the in vivo

assays. However, dapagliflozin was clastogenic in the

presence of S9 in multiple in vitro chromosomal

aberration assays. In conclusion there is no evidence for

any clinically relevant genotoxic potential of

Dapagliflozin propanediol.

Reproductive/Developmental

toxicity

Mortality and morbidity was observed in the 300/210

mg/kg high dose male rats in fertility studies. In

embryonic fetal development studies in rats 21-22 late

gestation fetal deaths were reported in 150 and 300

mg/kg dosed group along with reduction of live litter

size and decreased fetal body weights, dose-dependent

significant findings in the offspring were

malformations: in the blood vessels, fused/wavy ribs

and verterbral centra, duplicated manubira and skeletal

variations: reduced ossifications. Incidence and severity

of renal pelvic dilation was increased in the high dose

groups in rat’s prenatal and postnatal studies.

IDENTIFICATION OF CRITICAL EFFECTS

Sensitive indicator of an adverse

effect seen in non-clinical toxicity

data

Target organ toxicities at 150 mg/kg were observed in

rats in the kidney, sternum and femur, trachea, heart and

vessels, spleen and liver, harderian gland. Increase in

absolute and relative adrenal gland weight (males and

females), liver (males) and kidney (males), decreased

urine osmolality was seen in dogs. Incidence and

severity of renal pelvic dilation was increased in the

high dose groups in rat’s prenatal and postnatal studies.

At present, pharmaceutical companies are investing significant effort to assess and control cross-

contamination risk of drug products that are manufactured in the shared production facilities

(EMA/CHMP/ CVMP/ SWP/169430/2012) (EMA, 2014). Determination of health based

exposure limits for a residual active substance through the derivation of a safe threshold value is

employed to identify the risk posed. The derivation of threshold value like permitted daily

exposure (PDE) or thresholds of toxicological concern are used to determine the risk of the

active pharmaceutical substance. For determination of PDE, all the available pharmacological

and toxicological data including both non-clinical and clinical data should be evaluated. This

involves hazard identification by reviewing all relevant data, identification of critical effects,

determination of NOAEL of the findings that are considered to be critical effects.

In this document, brief summary of pharmacological, pharmacokinetics and toxicity data of

Dapagliflozin propanediol have been presented based on the published data. The data were

extracted from PubMed, PubChem, TOXLINE, Drugdex, RTECS (Registry of Toxic effects of

Chemical Substances), National Toxicology Program (NTP), and FDA.

6. INTRODUCTION

Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor indicated for managing diabetes

mellitus type 2. It helps to improve glycemic control by inhibiting glucose resorption in the

proximal tubule of the nephron and causing glycosuria along with diet and exercise in adult. (2)

Dapagliflozin propanediol falls in the category of anti-diabetic drugs and the ATC code is

A10BD15 (3)

7. HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONa. Pharmacodynamics Data: -Dapagliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose contransporter

2(SGLT2), the major transporter responsible for renal glucose re-absorption which is

primarily located in the proximal tubule of the nephron. Dapagliflozin lowers plasma glucose

by inhibiting the renal re-absorption of glucose in the proximal tubule, thereby promoting its

urinary excretion. Dapagliflozin increased renal glucose excretion in (healthy, non-diabetic)

• 1 month study: one death was reported in the 150 mg/kg/day dose group but No dapagliflozin-

related pathologic changes or cause of death were determined. No death was reported in the

300 mg/kg/day group which suggested that the death at 150 mg/kg/day was not drug related.

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd Clinical signs reported were rough/urine-stained hair coats at 150 mg/kg/day and polyuria at

150 and 300 mg/kg/day.

• 3 months’ study: The administration of dapagliflozin in the 250 and 400 mg/kg/day dose

groups was not tolerated and was associated with dapagliflozin related deaths. Decreased

activity, abdominal distention and hunched posture were observed at all doses in the 3-month

mouse toxicity study starting on Day 3. The effects generally increased with dose and are most

likely related to off target inhibition of intestinal SGLT1 and the decreased intestinal

absorption of glucose. The clinical observations in the 3-month mouse toxicity study were not

associated with decreases in body weights or food consumption. In fact, dapagliflozin-treated

mice actually exhibited increased food consumption at all doses (26 to 44%) with an increase

in end-of study body-weight gains relative to controls. Pathologic changes were limited to

decreases in absolute prostate weight (20 to 23%) at 150 and 250 mg/kg/day. The NOAEL was

considered to be 150 mg/kg/day.

There was increase in some parameter in all treatment groups such as: urinary volume, total urine

glucose, calcium and phosphorus, food consumption and water consumption, total urinary

protein. Kidney weight was increased, Serum 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D (males only) and

urinary deoxypyridinolene was reduced in all treatment groups. The target organs for toxicity

were kidney and bone. Kidney findings were reactive hyperplasia of collecting duct epithelium,

dilation of cortical and/or medullary tubules, and mineralisation of the collection ducts and

exacerbation of chronic progressive neuropathy (CPN). There were changes indicative of

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd abnormal bone formation. The mineralization and bone changes were related to increases in

serum calcium. A mechanistic study in rats on a glucose-free diet suggested that these findings

were related to off-target inhibition of intestinal SGLT1 at high doses. No changes in serum

calcium, no renal effects and no mineralisation were observed in rats on glucose-free diet. Liver

enzymes (ALT, AST) were increased with dapagliflozin in rats.

Key Findings

One female from 120 mg/kg was euthanized due to morbidity at study day 172 that was

attributed to acute renal toxicity, and one death was observed in one 5 mg/kg female due to an

aspiration pneumonia dosing accident. There was some dose related changes which included:

increase in urine volume, total urine glucose, calcium and phosphorus, increase in food

consumption and water consumption, increase in absolute and relative adrenal gland weight

(males and females), liver (males) and kidney (males), decreased urine osmolality. Minimal to

slight suburothelial inflammation was present in the renal pelvis of some dosed animals of each

group. No gross microscopy changes were observed. The increased incidence of diarrhea

following dapagliflozin administration is most likely due to the off-target inhibition of SGLT1 in

the intestines and the resulting decreases in intestinal glucose absorption. Administration of high

doses of dapagliflozin was associated with slight increases in total serum cholesterol (≤ 1.6×

relative to controls) in the 1, 3 and 12 months dapagliflozin dog studies. Increases in serum

cholesterol are most likely due to the observed increased food consumption in dogs following

dapagliflozin administration. There was no target organ toxicity observed in the repeat-dose dog

toxicity studies even at very high doses of dapagliflozin.

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd g. Local tolerance studies (4)

In vitro studies with isolated bovine corneas for ocular irritation and in vivo studies with rabbits,

mice, and dogs were conducted to determine the ocular irritation, dermal irritation, sensitization

potential and vascular/perivascular irritation potential of dapagliflozin. In a Bovine Corneal

Opacity and Permeability Assay, dapagliflozin exhibited moderate to severe ocular toxicity.

Dapagliflozin was considered to be a non-sensitizer based on the results of a local lymph node

assay in the mouse. In an acute dermal irritation study in rabbits, dapagliflozin was a non-irritant.

Five days of repeated IV administration of an intravenous formulation of dapagliflozin did not

cause any vascular effects. After subcutaneous injections, there was slight focal necrosis of

subcutaneous muscle at the injection site.

8. IDENTIFICATION OF CRITICAL EFFECTS

The steps deliberated to identify the nature of the adverse effect include its severity and

persistence. If the substance causes multiple types of adverse effects, the critical effect is one that

meets the severity and persistence criteria at the lowest intake.

a. Most Sensitive Indicator of an Adverse Effect Seen in Non-Clinical Toxicity Data.

Kidney, sternum and femur, trachea, heart and vessels, spleen and liver, harderian gland were the

target organs in the rat study. In dogs, increase in absolute and relative adrenal gland weight

(males and females), liver (males) and kidney (males), decreased urine osmolality was seen.

Incidence and severity of renal pelvic dilation was increased in the high dose groups in rat’s

prenatal and postnatal studies. In embryonic fetal development studies in rats 21-22 late gestation

fetal deaths were reported in 150 and 300 mg/kg dosed groups.

b. Clinical Therapeutic and Adverse Effects

Dapagliflozin was studied as monotherapy and in combination with other antidiabetic

medications, including metformin, glimepiride, or insulin. Dapagliflozin was also studied in

patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and in patients with mild to moderate

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd control. The estimated, placebo-adjusted, HbA1c reduction across trials and doses ranged from

0.40% to 0.84%. These glycemic effects were sustained in long-term extensions up to 104

weeks. HbA1c reductions were seen across subgroups including gender, age, race, duration of

disease, and baseline BMI. In addition, patients treated with FORXIGA compared to placebo or

control achieved greater HbA1c reductions in patients with a baseline HbA1c ≥9% statistically

significant reductions.

Adverse effect of dapagliflozin propanediol includes female genital mycotic infections,

nasopharyngitis and urinary tract infections. frequent urination, dizziness, or lightheadedness,

UTI and kidney infection may also occur (6). The most commonly reported events leading to

discontinuation and reported in at least three (3).Dapagliflozin 10 mg-treated patients were renal

impairment (0.8%), decrease in creatinine clearance (0.6%), increased blood creatinine (0.3%),

urinary tract infections (0.2%), and vulvovaginal mycotic infection (0.1%).(6)

9. RATIONALE FOR NOAEL VALUES SELECTION

Dapagliflozin caused systemic toxicity in rats and dogs when administered for a period up to 52

weeks. Based on the relevance to clinical use, the NOAEL value of 1 mg/kg is selected from the

prenatal and postnatal development studies in rats.

10. APPLICATION OF ADJUSTMENT FACTORS (RATIONALE FOR

THE ADJUSTMENT FACTORS)

A series of modifying, or safety factors, are used when the NOAEL/ lowest therapeutic dose is

based on studies of differing types and durations in differing species to provide a risk assessment

for human exposure. These factors were generally established according to Appendices 3 of the

ICH Q3C (R5) and VICH GL 18.

a. F1: Interspecies Differences

This factor takes into account the comparative surface area: body weight ratios for the species

concerned and for man. Surface area (S) was calculated as: S= k M0.67 where M is the body mass

and the constant, k, has been taken to be 10 according to the appendices 3 of the ICH guideline.

For a 50 kg person the equation gives a surface area of 64.3 dm2; the surface area: body weight

ratio is thus 2.76.

Regd. Office: 5020-A, Sector 38 (W), Chandigarh 160014

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd Applying the same calculation to other species and expressing the results as multiples of the

human surface area: body weight ratio gives factors for the mouse = 12; for the rat = 5; for the

monkey = 3; for the rabbit = 2.5; for the dog = 2. For other species, where the data are not so

well established the factor F1 is taken as 10.

A factor of 5 is considered as rats study is selected.

b. F2: Inter-Individual Differences

A value of F2= 10 is conventionally used to allow for differences between individuals in the

human population.

c. F3: Duration of Exposure

A variable factor up to 10 takes into account the differing durations of exposure in the reported

studies. For reproductive studies, a factor of 1 is used if the whole period of organogenesis is

covered. A factor of 1 has been used for a study last at least one-half lifetime (1 year for rodents

or rabbits; 7 years for cats, dogs and monkeys). A factor of 2 has been used for a 6-month study

in rodents, or a 3.5-year study in non-rodents. A factor of 5 has been used for a 3-month study in

rodents or a 2-year study in non-rodents and a factor of 10 for studies of a shorter duration. In all

cases, the higher factor has been used for study duration between the time points e.g. a factor of

2 for a 9-month rodent study.

A factor 1 is selected for prenatal and postnatal reproductive studies in rats.

d. F4: Nature of Toxicity

A variable factor is applied when the toxicity produced is irreversible in nature i.e.

carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity or teratogenicity. A factor of 10 is used when oncogenic or

neurotoxic responses are present. A variable factor is used for reproductive toxicity effects as

follows: 1 for embryo or foetal toxicity or mortality associated with maternal toxicity; 5 for

embryo or foetal toxicity or mortality without maternal toxicity; 5 for a teratogenic effect with

maternal toxicity and 10 for a teratogenic effect in the absence of accompanying maternal

toxicity.

A factor of 3 is used (1 for embryo fetal toxicity with maternal toxicity and 2 for systemic

toxicity observed in rats).

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd e. F5: Quality of Data

A variable factor, up to 1, applied to results in which a NOAEL has not been established, the

PDE being derived from a NOAEL.

As NOAEL was selected, so F5 = 1 is used in this report

The PDE calculation:

PDE value = NOAEL X Weight adjustment

F1 x F2 x F3 x F4 x F5

= 1 x 50 for adult population

5 x 10 x 1 x 3 x 1

= 0.333 mg/day

Hence, the PDE of Dapagliflozin propanediol is 0.333 mg/day

Calculation of OEL (Occupational Exposure Limits):

OEL can be calculated by using the following formula (Naumann and Weideman, 1995

and Sargent EV et al 2013)

OEL= NOAEL x BW or Human lowest daily dose

F1 x F2 x F3 x F4 x F5 x α X BLV

NOAEL value of 1 mg/kg/day was derived from the prenatal and postnatal reproductive studies

in rats and will be used for OEL generation.

OEL

= NOAELX BW F1 x F2 x F3 x F4 x F5 x BV x α

= 1x 50 5x 10 x 1 x3x 1 x10 x1.28

= 0.026 mg/m3/day

Hence, the OEL of Dapagliflozin propanediol is 0.026 mg/m3/day

Healthcare Services (P) Ltd ANNEXURE I: PHARMACOKINETICS AND METABOLISM

Absorption: Following oral administration of Dapagliflozin propanediol, the maximum plasma

concentration (Cmax) is usually attained within 2 hours under fasting state. The Cmax and AUC

values increase dose proportionally with increase in Dapagliflozin propanediol dose in the

therapeutic dose range. The absolute oral bioavailability of Dapagliflozin propanediol is 78%. (2)

Distribution: Dapagliflozin propanediol is approximately 91% protein bound. Protein binding is

not altered in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.

Metabolism: The metabolism of dapagliflozin is primarily mediated by UGT1A9; CYP-

mediated metabolism is a minor clearance pathway in humans. Dapagliflozin is extensively

metabolized, primarily to yield dapagliflozin 3-O-glucuronide, which is an inactive metabolite.

Dapagliflozin 3-Oglucuronide accounted for 61% of a 50 mg [14C]-dapagliflozin dose and is the

predominant drug-related component in human plasma.

Excretion: Dapagliflozin and related metabolites are primarily eliminated via the renal pathway.

Following a single 50 mg dose of [14C]-dapagliflozin, 75% and 21% total radioactivity is

excreted in urine and feces, respectively. In urine, less than 2% of the dose is excreted as parent

drug. In feces, approximately 15% of the dose is excreted as parent drug. The mean plasma

terminal half-life (t½) for dapagliflozin is approximately 12.9 hours following a single oral dose

of 10 mg. (5)
