The U.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 10, 2025, announced a significant policy shift aimed at reducing its reliance on animal testing for drug development and incorporating new approach methodologies (NAMs) such as use of in silico models or other approaches. According to FDA, the "animal testing requirement will be reduced, refined, or potentially replaced using a range of approaches, including AI-based computational models of toxicity and cell lines and organoid toxicity testing in a laboratory setting." The FDA Modernization Act 2.passed in late 2022, authorized the use of non-animal alternatives for investigational new drug applications, paving the way for this transition.
