13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility In a 2-year carcinogenicity study in CD-1 mice, subcutaneous doses of 0.3, 1 and 3 mg/kg/day [2-, 11-, and 30-fold the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 2 mg/week, based on AUC] were administered to the males, and 0.1, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg/day (1-, 2-, and 7-fold MRHD) were administered to the females

Additional caution may be appropriate in research involving: Additional Monitoring May Be Considered In Research Models Involving: Pregnancy and lactation-related research contexts, where limited safety data is available Severe gastrointestinal or delayed gastric-emptying research models, where GLP-1related pathways may influence gastrointestinal motility-related observations Pancreatic or pancreatitis-related research models, where metabolic and digestive-signaling pathways may require additional monitoring Gallbladder or biliary-related research models, where gastrointestinal and metabolic pathway modulation may influence biliary-related observations Diabetes or glucose-regulation research models involving concurrent glucose-lowering compounds, where glucose-homeostasis pathways may require closer monitoring Severe hepatic or renal impairment research models, where metabolic clearance and tolerability observations may differ Thyroid-related research models, including investigations involving endocrine-signaling pathways, thyroid-related biomarkers, or thyroid-cancer history models Additional Research Considerations Research conditions, protocol structure, research amount, and concurrent compounds may influence tolerability observations across experimental settings
