A Guide to the FDA Announcement to Phase Out Animal Testing for Drugs

FDA’s Roadmap to Replace Animal Testing

How Certara’s Non-Animal Navigator™ is Shaping the Future of Drug Development

The FDA Modernization Act 2.0 and the FDA Roadmap to Reducing Animal Testing mark a turning point in preclinical drug development. For the first time, animal studies are no longer required before clinical trials.

By adopting advanced, human-relevant alternatives, drug developers can improve translational accuracy while meeting these regulatory and ethical standards.

Why the traditional animal testing paradigm for investigational drugs must change

Over 90% of drugs that pass animal studies fail in human trials.

Traditional animal models often fall short in predicting human safety and efficacy. Human-relevant methods like biosimulation, microphysiological systems, and advanced in vitro assays (New Approach Methodologies; NAMs) can provide more reliable insights into drug safety and efficacy.

Phasing out your animal studies to comply with these regulations

Certara’s Non-Animal Navigator is a platform supporting transition to non-animal testing models. Our framework combines biosimulation tools and our experts’ services to build scientifically robust, regulator-ready evidence packages.
