Gene Therapy Regulation by the FDA

Gene Therapy Regulation by the FDA

In the USA, gene therapy products are regulated as biological products by the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). CBER regulates these products (cellular therapy products, human gene therapy products, and certain devices related to cell and gene therapy) for human use as per the applicable federal laws, including the Public Health Services Act (PHSA) and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). This would include ‘cellular immunotherapies, cancer vaccines, and other types of both autologous and allogeneic cells for certain therapeutic indications, including hematopoetic stem cells and adult and embryonic stem cells.’
The FDA’s Accelerating Rare Disease Cures Program

The FDA’s Accelerating Rare Disease Cures Program

In May of 2022, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) at the Food and Drug administration (FDA) launched the Accelerating Rare Disease Cures (ARC) program. This program sought to bridge the complexities of rare disease drug development with the pressing needs of patients. With this program’s initiation, the Rare Diseases Team was formed within CDER to work and maintain collaborative relationships between internal and external rare disease stakeholders and scientific experts.
The Role of Management in Product Quality

The Role of Management in Product Quality

Depending on the factory, some production employees may find it surprising that management has an important role to play in a quality system.  21 CFR 820.20 mandates that “Management with executive responsibility shall establish objectives for, and commitment to, quality”.[1]  The Federal Government expects that management takes an active interest in improving the output of their company, at least in the case of medical device manufacturers.
