According to ICH S3A Q&amp;A focusing on microsampling, its application should be avoided in main study animals for test drugs that could exacerbate hematological parameters with frequent blood sampling. However, no study has reported the effects of microsampling on toxicity parameters of drugs known to induce hematological toxicity. Therefore, we assessed the toxicological effects of serial microsampling on rats treated with phenacetin as a model drug. In a common 28-day study, 50 µL of microsampling was performed at 6-time points on days 1 to 2 and 7-time points on days 27 to 28 from the jugular vein of Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed independently by two organizations. The toxicological influence of microsampling was evaluated on body weight, food consumption, hematology, blood clinical chemistry, urine parameters, organ weights, and tissue pathology. Phenacetin treatments induced significant changes of various hematological parameters (including hemoglobin and reticulocytes), some organ weights (including liver and spleen), and some hematology-related pathological parameters in the liver, spleen and bone marrow. Meanwhile, serial microsampling exhibited minimal influence on the assessed parameters, although 20 parameters showed statistical differences mostly at one organization. The current results support the notion that serial 50 μL microsampling from the jugular vein had minimal impacts on overall toxicological profiles even in rats treated with a drug inducing hematological toxicity, but the potential adverse effect on certain parameters could not be fully excluded. Accordingly, this microsampling technique has possibility to be employed even for non-clinical rat toxicity studies using drugs with potentially hematological toxicity.

No obvious toxicological influences of 50 μL microsampling from rats administered phenacetin as a drug with hematological toxicity
