The ICH Q5A(R2) guideline emphasizes the advantages of using highly sensitive NGS (next-generation sequencing) technology for adventitious virus testing as an alternative to in vitro and in vivo animal testing assays. This guideline was implemented by the EMA (Europe) on June 14, 2024, following the implementation by the FDA (USA) in January 2024. This approach helps to reduce the need for animal testing and shortens the time to market.
