Promising areas for AI implementation When discussing the most transformative AI applications in drug discovery, Sujeegar identifies a particularly ambitious goal: developing AI models that can simulate human pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) using only preliminary laboratory data.

Where possible, NAM s seek to avoid the use of animal testing or at least to reduce it. However, reports drawn up as recently as June 2023 still emphasize the necessity of animal testing at some point as we are still far from understanding and reproducing all the variables present in a whole organism in an in vitro or in silico model.

These assays may include pharmacokinetic (PK) assays, which provide information on the drug’s properties, and immunogenicity assays for the detection of anti-drug antibodies (ADA), which can lead to adverse events and reduced efficacy. FDA no longer needs to require animal tests before human drug trials [Internet].

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 animal testing. Nonclinical studies encompass much more than just animal studies.
