Separating the Hype from the Hyperbole Surrounding FDORA’s Alternatives to Animal Testing under the FD&C Act

FDA Law Blog: Drug Discovery

While this hype may be warranted in some respects—a 60-year old legal provision has now been amended to acknowledge that the science of drug development is advancing—the change is mostly symbolic and is likely to take many years before we see it have a measurable impact. 42 U.S.C. § 262(k)(2)(A)(i)(I).

Increasing the probability of technical success in drug development using AI and patient heterogeneity

Predictive Oncology

In addition to the unpredictable costs associated with late-stage clinical trials, the typical timeline for moving from exhaustive basic research to regulatory approval is anywhere from ten to fifteen years. By combining these two assets, this offering represents an opportunity to de-risk drug discovery and accelerate pipeline development.

Human neuronal cells: possibilities in drug safety testing

Drug Target Review

Human derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have revolutionised research and are increasingly used for toxicology screening and disease modelling. CNS-related issues account for nearly a quarter of failures during clinical development, a phase where consequences are high in terms of resources and patient impact.
