I haven't heard if they've been working on specific testing, but in the package inserts, it makes reference that mutagenesis can occur. The insert says: Quote:
"Standard 2-year carcinogenicity studies in animals have not been performed. In Sprague Dawley rats, a 12 month repeat dose toxicity study was conducted with insulin glulisene at subcutaneous doses of 2.5, 5, 20 or 50 IU/kg twice daily (doses resulting in exposure 1, 2, 8 and 20 times the average human dose based on body surface comparison).
There was a non-dose dependent higher incidence of mammary gland tumors in female rats administered insulin glulisene compared to untreated controls. The incident of mammary tumors for insulin glulisene and regular human insulin was similar. The relevance of these findings to humans is not known." | Hope this helps.
