    Understanding the basics of ATMP regulation

    2021-02-01T15:29:00Z

    Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are biological products which comprise a diverse group of medicinal products that are often complex and diverse in nature. As these products are regularly developed for diseases of high unmet need, the requirements for evidence generation to support marketing authorisation often require innovative development plans. Within this continuing professional development supplement we investigate the regulation of ATMPs in the EU and US [see also Regulatory Rapporteur October 2020 and February 2020 for articles by Harriet Edwards on ATMPs].
