This act changes the rules for testing drugs and biological products, allowing the use of alternative methods instead of animal testing. This means new drugs can be brought to market faster and more ethically, potentially accelerating access to innovative therapies for citizens.
Key points
Permission to use non-animal tests (e.g., cell-based, computer models) for drug safety assessment.
Potential for faster market introduction of new drugs due to more flexible testing methods.
Reduction in the number of animals used in laboratory research.
