From Animals to Organoids: The Future of Drug Testing

On April 10, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a landmark decision to phase out mandatory animal testing for monoclonal antibodies and other drugs. This transformative move aims to adopt New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) that are more efficient and better reflect human biology. By reducing reliance on animal testing, the FDA seeks to improve drug development safety and efficiency, accelerate the approval of new therapies, and promote a more ethical, human-relevant global research paradigm.

Key Policy Highlights:

• Objective: Gradually eliminate mandatory animal testing in the development of monoclonal antibodies and other drugs, shifting toward more human-relevant alternatives such as AI-based toxicity prediction models, organoids, and organ-on-a-chip technologies.

• Scope: Effective immediately for new drug IND submissions. Sponsors are encouraged to submit NAM data to support safety assessments.

• Global Data Acceptance: Human safety data from countries with comparable regulatory standards will be accepted, reducing redundant animal testing.

• Regulatory Incentives: Companies providing robust, scientifically validated NAM data may benefit from streamlined FDA review processes.

• Upcoming Pilot Program: Within the next year, the FDA will launch a pilot program focusing on monoclonal antibody development driven by non-animal testing, aiming to gather data and experience to inform future regulatory updates.

Industry Insight: Organoids Enter a Golden Era

The newly released policy underscores regulators' growing emphasis on human-relevant data and sends a clear signal to the industry: organoid-based human models are rapidly moving from basic research into critical roles in preclinical drug evaluation.

Organoids are lab-grown, three-dimensional mini-organs derived from human cells that closely mimic the structure and function of real human organs. They have shown clear advantages in toxicity testing, drug screening, and disease modeling. Compared to traditional animal models, organoids offer greater physiological relevance and predictive accuracy, positioning them as a key alternative technology in the future of drug development.
