Gene therapy, somatic cell therapy, and tissue engineering products represent innovative therapies with the promise of expanded treatment choices for diseases where few options exist today. To promote timely access to these advanced therapies while safeguarding the public health, informed benefit-risk decisions must be made while long-term data on both safety and efficacy are developed. In this session, regulatory and industry representatives will discuss the current rationale for clinical safety considerations in the step-wise development of advanced therapies.
