The growing understanding of the immune system's role in various diseases, along with advancements in drugdevelopment, have led to a natural evolution from traditional vaccines, small molecules , and cytokines , to increased targeted biologics and innovative approaches in gene therapy and vaccines.
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 drugdevelopment is advancing—the change is mostly symbolic and is likely to take many years before we see it have a measurable impact. FDORA § 3209(a)(2).
History behind animal testing In December 2022, the US Government approved the ground-breaking US Food and Drug Association (FDA) Modernization Act 2.0, 3 The first act was approved in 1938 in response to a drug — elixir sulphanilamide — that caused 105 deaths after researchers failed to test the antibiotic before release.
Successful researchers and companies master and use different technologies, making sure the interpretation of data does not suffer experimental or analytical bias and leads to better success rates and higher profitability for drugdevelopers. By assessing residence time, failure further down the drug discovery workflow can be avoided.
The pharmaceutical industry grapples with the persistent challenge of high attrition rates and escalating costs inherent in drugdevelopment. Key techniques include high-throughput screening (HTS), cell-basedassays, and animal models.

For example, in describing how potency should be demonstrated for CGT products, the 2011 guidance simply stated that potency for gene therapy products is derived from “at least two biological activities for its potency: the ability to transfer a genetic sequence to a cell; and the biological effect of the expressed genetic sequence.”
