Kidney-tissue platforms could reduce animal testing in toxicology studies

Drug Discovery World

Kidney disease researchers at the University of Washington will use a multimillion-dollar federal grant to advance drug development platforms that would reduce reliance on animal tests. The post Kidney-tissue platforms could reduce animal testing in toxicology studies appeared first on Drug Discovery World (DDW).

Considering the use of animal models in drug development

Drug Discovery World

Animal models (AMs) have generally been seen as useful for drug development and biomedical research for many years. They are assumed to closely mimic human disease progression and act as a good testing ground for toxicology studies and pharmacokinetics 1. Drugs developed in animals often fail in human studies.

Beyond animal testing: The rise of organoids in toxicology research

Drug Discovery World

Around 30% of drugs show adverse reactions during human clinical trials despite promising pre-clinical studies. One of the major causes of the high attrition rate is the poor predictive value of current preclinical models used in drug development. Backed by the FDA Modernization Act 2.0,

Roche launches Institute of Human Biology to accelerate breakthroughs in R&D by unlocking the potential of human model systems

The Pharma Data

By mirroring human and disease biology more accurately than animal models, they can also help reduce the reliance on animal testing. Together, they will study human biology and advance the broad adoption of human model systems in pharmaceutical research and development as well as in clinical practice.
