In reproduction studies in cynomolgus monkeys subcutaneous doses up to 75 mg/ kg (about 12-fold exposure ratio based on 28-day AUC values at 75 mg/ kg versus the clinical maximum dose) did not elicit maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity or teratogenicity when administered throughout organogenesis and did not elicit adverse effects on foetal or neonatal growth when administered throughout late gestation, delivery and nursing.
