Bill overview
This bill, the Alternatives to Animals for Regulatory Fairness Act of 2020 (AARF Act), aims to reduce the use of animals in drug testing by allowing pharmaceutical companies to use alternative, non-animal tests to demonstrate a drug’s safety and effectiveness. The bill seeks to align FDA regulations with existing guidance that encourages the adoption of these alternatives. It would empower sponsors to utilize validated non-animal methods if they meet all regulatory requirements, potentially speeding up drug development and improving outcomes.
