New Drug Testing Methods: Less Animal Testing, More Science.

This act changes drug testing rules, allowing pharmaceutical companies to use alternative methods instead of animal testing. This means new drugs could be brought to market faster and more safely, potentially accelerating access to innovative therapies for citizens.
Key points
Companies can now use lab tests (e.g., cell-based, organ-on-a-chip) and computer simulations to study drug safety and effectiveness.
Reliance on animal testing is reduced, which may speed up drug approval processes and lower research costs.
New testing methods are intended to be more precise in predicting human body responses to drugs.
