FDA is planning take “animal” out of key drug-testing regulations. That’s progress! But: 🔸 Animal tests remain permissible, 🔸 Industry practice may not change, 🔸 The rule can still be withdrawn or reversed, and 🔸 Questions about the evaluation of NAMs remain. ℹ️ riseforanimals.org/news/fda-dir...

FDA Wants to Drop “Animal” from Its Rules. Let’s Lock It In.
