Sara Gerke, Jacob Balamut, Jennifer K. Wagner
Abstract
Replacing animal testing through 'New Approach Methodologies' holds promise for developing cheaper and safer drugs without animal suffering. However, such an approach should be implemented carefully, and it cannot be rushed. We discuss the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 and 3.0 and the FDA's roadmap to phase out animal testing.
