Commission unveils details on plan for phasing out animaltesting for chemicals safety At the REACH and CLP regulators’ meeting in July, the European Commission revealed specifics about its formal schedule to eliminate animaltesting used for chemical safety assessment.
These models can be used for more efficient and effective drug testing early in the development process, potentially reducing the need for animaltesting and later-stage human trials that are both costly and time-consuming.
Commission redoubles commitment to reduce animaltesting in response to Citizens’ Initiative The European Commission provided its mandatory response to a citizens’ petition this week urging faster action to reduce and ultimately eliminate animaltesting within the cosmetics and chemical sectors.
using phantoms, ex vivo animal tissue models, and/or in vivo animaltesting), computationally, and/or clinically. When in vivo animaltesting is needed, tests should follow good laboratory practices and the animal model should be representative of the intended clinical application.
The next key area concerns the ongoing shift away from animaltesting. For example, under the REACH (1907/2006/EC) and CLP (1272/2008/EC) regulations, NAMs are generally only used to replace animaltesting for hazard identification and classification of skin sensitizers.
5,6 The range of CNS-related toxicities encountered throughout drug development and post-market approval is vast, and includes abuse liability, suicidal ideation, emesis, sleep disorder and cognitive dysfunction to name a few. 26 Outside of drug safety, we also plan to adapt our model to anti-epileptic drug discovery.
FDA no longer needs to require animaltests before human drug trials [Internet].

The global preclinical CRO market was estimated to be valued at US$5.7 The clinical phase of drug research is especially important because it tests the findings from preclinical studies in real-life conditions within the target disease population with human volunteers. What is a Pre-Clinical CRO? over this period.
By adopting these powerful systems, we are offering an option to help replace, reduce, refine the number of animaltests and the potential to benefit patients through the provision of safer and more efficacious therapeutics.”.

The PPPR framework governs the authorization, sale, and use of PPPs, establishing a pre-market approval process for active substances – the pesticide components which control pests, weeds, and plant diseases – and for synergists and safeners before they can be allowed for use in PPPs.

EU court upholds ban on chlorpyrifos-methyl, setting regulatory precedent in the process The General Court of the European Union this week upheld the non-renewal of market authorization for chlorpyrifos-methyl used as an active substance in pesticides. It also found this approach beneficial because it reduces the need for animaltesting.
Having a clear understanding of FDA’s data expectations for 510(k) applications related to implants is crucial for successful marketing clearance. Bench Model Testing “Testing using model systems with representative materials, geometries, and/or other simulated use parameters to evaluate the implant and demonstrate SE.”
FDA proposes first update to orthopedic device coating guidance since 1990s The FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has issued a new draft guidance specifically laying out the types of information it would want to see in pre-market submission for orthopedic devices with specific coating types.
New guidance provides definition for orphan device, offers alternative trial designs New guidance from the European Commission outlines alternatives for full pre-market clinical trials for orphan devices, defined by the Commission for the first time. Sections 5 – 9 are labeled as Part A and cover clinical evaluation considerations.
The guidance looks very different from the draft that was published in February 2020, including changes in the scope of the guidance, its sponsorship, and the removal of all mentions of nonhuman primates for animaltesting. Nonclinical studies encompass much more than just animal studies.
The framework supports EPA’s mandate to develop and implement alternative test methods and strategies, or new approach methodologies (NAMs), that do not require vertebrate animaltesting for assessing risk of injury to health or the environment. BY PATRICIA ISCARO, ESQ. |
At the same time, Hojsik pointed to the positive impact that the 1S1A ambition should have on data sharing, thereby reducing animaltesting, another objective of the Green Deal. Streamlining these processes, according to the proposal, should improve transparency and reduce administrative efforts for stakeholders.
This also has clear potential to reduce animaltesting, another key commitment made by the Commission. An observatory will also be created that publicly compiles information on the properties, uses, and market presence of certain chemicals. This observatory will initially focus on nanomaterials.
As a result, the FDA is now required to consider alternatives to animaltesting, such as in vitro , in silico , and in chemico tests and models. In this blog post, we examine several alternative approaches to animaltesting and how the FDA handles the application of these methods in specific scenarios.
Just as Lume came on the market, FDA released the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRa ), “the most significant expansion of FDA’s authority to regulate cosmetics since the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was passed in 1938. .” That’s why FDA requires post-marketing follow-up data.
Further, the agency would need to make a separate table finding “at least $8,500,000,” for cosmetics regulation implementation ($7 million of that) and work on finding alternatives to animaltesting ($1.5 The Tropical Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV) program.
Since the first issuance of FDA’s guidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, “Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process” in 2016, sponsors submitting premarket submissions to FDA have had the option of using these techniques to evaluate certain biocompatibility endpoints.
This discordance, or lack of “ predictive validity ” when translating results across organismal boundaries, is perhaps most harmful in the biomedical field; despite extensive testing in mouse models, only 10 percent of drugs that make it to clinical trials ever make it to market.
The draft guidance states that only one 90-minute pre-BLA meeting will typically be granted for a specific product or indication planned for an original marketing application. The draft guidance also describes pre-BLA meeting considerations, noting that FDA strongly recommends scheduling one.
Proposed Rule Rulemaking to Provide by Regulation that an Ingredient Is Not Excluded From the Dietary Supplement Definition December 2024 This proposed rule, if finalized, would allow a specific ingredient to be marketed in or as a dietary supplement. It’s also interesting to see what isn’t on this list. and the E.C.
Though my focus in this essay is narrow — I don’t discuss bottlenecks in clinical trials, human disease, or animaltesting — I hope others will take on these challenges in similar essays. This essay focuses on how we might do both, specifically for the cell. Subscribe to Asimov Press.
A “predicate device” is the already marketed medical device against which the §510(k) “substantial equivalence” comparison is made. is important for the device to be used safely.” For certain implants, information regarding raw materials and critical aspects of manufacturing and processing steps. . . of the final, finished device.”
