🚨 Reframing Veterinary Vaccine Quality Control: A Needed Shift

Traditional veterinary vaccine quality control has long relied on animal-based potency and challenge assays—methods once considered the gold standard.
But today, the field is evolving.

IHI project VICT3R has reached an important milestone in its quest to dramatically reduce the numbers of animals used in medicine safety testing by replacing actual control groups with ‘Virtual Control Groups’ (VCGs).
The European Medicines Agency has launched a consultation on a qualification opinion on the use of VCGs, as proposed by VICT3R, in certain studies. The consultation will run until 12 May, and details can be found at https://link.europa.eu/XqwHjG.

🐇 A 'historic' decision to drop a common animal test for contaminants in batches of medicines administered by injection was driven in part thanks to evidence from IMI project VAC2VAC, which demonstrated that non-animal alternatives are up to the job!

IMI project drives ‘historic’ decision to drop common animal test

VAC2VAC provided vital evidence to demonstrate that non-animal alternatives can reliably detect certain contaminants in medicines administered by injection.
