S 5046

Sponsored by Cory A. Booker (D)

FDA Modernization Act 3.0

Would have required FDA to replace animal-testing references with nonclinical-testing references in its drug rules.

Tradeoff

Would have let drug makers use nonclinical testing methods, including alternatives to animal tests, in drug-trial applications. The FDA would have needed to publish the rule within one year.
