Gene and cell therapy products (GCTP) represent a transformative frontier in healthcare, yet their regulatory landscape often lags behind scientific advancements, posing challenges for developers and patients alike. This presentation underscores the importance of proactive compliance planning in navigating the complex regulatory environment of GCTPs. Through case studies and real-world examples, attendees will gain insights into the implications of regulatory delays and compliance failures, highlighting the critical role of early planning in mitigating risks and maximizing success opportunities. Key topics include the establishment of robust quality systems, proactive engagement with regulatory authorities, and the integration of compliance considerations throughout product development stages. Attendees will also explore evolving regulatory expectations for GCTPs, including updates to guidelines on potency, manufacturing, and quality control. By emphasizing proactive compliance planning, this presentation aims to empower developers to navigate regulatory challenges effectively and accelerate the translation of innovative GCTPs from the lab to the clinic, ultimately improving patient access to cutting-edge therapies.
