Future-proofing drug development with GenAI

Drug Target Review

It is becoming increasingly evident that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a resourceful tool for helping pharmaceutical companies reduce manual tasks required by clinical trials. Long-term sustainability may benefit from identifying priority indications, exploring emerging mechanisms of action and refining development priorities.

The evolution of AI in drug discovery: learning from history’s mistakes (Part 2)

Drug Target Review

To understand the significance of this goal, it is important to recognise the current drug development process. This uncertainty contributes to the high failure rate and enormous costs of drug development. Currently, understanding these aspects requires extensive animal testing followed by human trials.

Time for change: non-human primates in drug research

Drug Target Review

Non-human primates (NHPs), such as macaques and cynomolgus monkeys, have long served as a cornerstone in preclinical drug development due to their close genetic, anatomical and physiological resemblance to humans. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Trends in Non-Human Primate Use for Research and Testing.

Separating the Hype from the Hyperbole Surrounding FDORA’s Alternatives to Animal Testing under the FD&C Act

FDA Law Blog: Drug Discovery

Since 1962, the FD&C Act has authorized FDA to require that sponsors of clinical trials submit data from “preclinical tests (including tests on animals)” in order to demonstrate that their drug is safe enough to advance to testing in humans. FDORA § 3209(a)(2).

4 ways ex vivo models offer Pharma better alternatives to animal testing

Reprocell

Pharma companies are legally required to test novel drugs in animal models before beginning human trials. And while animal testing has progressed thousands of therapeutics that we use today, it is not without its experimental and ethical downfalls.

In Silico for Drug Discovery

biobide

The in silico method represents an increasing role in drug discovery as technology becomes more sophisticated. It is fast becoming a cost-effective and efficient alternative to animal testing. It can be used in all stages of drug discovery, from screening to pre-clinical trials and greatly reduces drug development time.
