The Government encourages the development of in vitro methods in place of animal testing and the development and use of new tests and alternative methods to the use of animal tests.<\/p>
In accordance the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, the principle of the \u20183Rs\u2019 - Replacement, Refinement and Reduction - needs to be considered when selecting testing approaches to be used for regulatory testing of human and veterinary medicinal products. The challenge to academia, industry and regulatory scientists is to remain focused on designing nonclinical studies in relevant models, including New Approach Methodologies (NAM), to answer specific questions in time to support clinical decision making and communication of potential risks.<\/p>
Maintaining effective dialogue among scientists in academia, industry and regulatory agencies during model development, qualification and validation will be essential to address this challenge.
