Research Pathways

Bringing gene and cell therapies from the lab bench to patients is a complex process and multiple pathways exists. The Research Pathways directory contains resources to help various stakeholders interested in therapy development navigate this process. Research Pathways is centred around the legal and regulatory aspects for cell and gene therapy development in Europe and further expanded to additional aspects. It is free to use and all resources in this database are categorised for improved searchability.

Manufacturing Authorisation of ATMPs

  • EU and UK
  • 2023
  • EuroGCT
Any company wishing to manufacture a medicinal product must hold a manufacturing authorisation issued by the national competent authority of the Member State where they carry out these activities. To obtain a manufacturing authorisation, all medicinal products for human use intended for the European Union market must be produced in accordance with EU quality standards: Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) principles and guidelines, and the European Pharmacopeia.

Manufacturing process development of ATMPs within a regulatory framework for EU clinical trial & marketing authorisation applications

  • 2016
  • Cell And Gene Therapy Insights
In the European Union, the regulatory approval of ATMPs for use in patients requires that data demonstrating their quality, safety and efficacy are submitted in dossiers to regulatory agencies for review. Indeed, such dossiers have a specific format that, in the case of quality data in particular, is informative for the manufacturing process development strategy. This manuscript describes how dossier requirements can be implemented into the design of industrialized ATMP manufacturing processes and fulfilled to enable effective regulatory submissions.
