New rules for drug testing methods

Within 1 year of enactment, HHS, through the FDA Commissioner, would publish an interim final rule. It would replace “animal” testing references with “nonclinical” across several FDA rules for drugs and biologics. It would add the law’s definition of “nonclinical test” to those rules. The rule would take effect as soon as it is published. Drug and biotech developers and researchers would need to follow the updated terms; households would see only indirect effects.
