A question echoed by the National Biodefense Science Board (NBSB) in 2010, remains a reasonable question in 2023; ‘Where are the Countermeasures?’. A critical path for development of medical countermeasures (MCM) against acute, radiation-induced organ-specific injury within the acute radiation syndrome (ARS) and the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE) requires the recognition of problems and solutions inherent in the path to FDA approval under the Animal Rule. Keep Rule number one in mind, It’s not easy. The current topic herein is focused on defining the nonhuman primate model(s) for efficient MCM development relative to consideration of prompt and delayed exposure in the context of the nuclear scenario. The rhesus macaque is a predictive model for human exposure of partial-body irradiation with marginal bone marrow sparing that allows definition of the multiple organ injury in the acute radiation syndrome (ARS) and the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE). The continued definition of natural history is required to delineate an associative or causal interaction within the concurrent multi-organ injury characteristic of the ARS and DEARE. A more efficient development of organ specific MCM for both pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis to include acute radiation-induced combined injury requires closing critical gaps in knowledge and urgent support to rectify the national shortage of nonhuman primates. The rhesus macaque is a validated, predictive model of the human response to prompt and delayed radiation exposure, medical management and MCM treatment. A rational approach to further development of the cynomolgus macaque as a comparable model is urgently required for continued development of MCM for FDA approval. It is imperative to examine the key variables relative to animal model development and validation, The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and exposure profiles, of candidate MCM relative to route, administration schedule and optimal efficacy define the fully effective dose. The conduct of adequate and well-controlled pivotal efficacy studies as well as safety and toxicity studies support approval under the FDA Animal Rule and label definition for human use.
