Regulatory Aspects of Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy Products: A Global Perspective (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology Book 871)

This book discusses the different regulatory pathways for gene therapy (GT) and cell therapy (CT) medicinal products implemented by national and international bodies throughout the world (e.g. North and South America, Europe, and Asia). Each chapter, authored by experts from various regulatory bodies throughout the international community, walks the reader through the applications of nonclinical research to translational clinical research to licensure for these innovative products. More specifically, each chapter offers insights into fundamental considerations that are essential for developers of CT and GT products, in the areas of product manufacturing, pharmacology and toxicology, and clinical trial design, as well as pertinent "must-know" guidelines and regulations. __Regulatory Aspects of Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy Products: A Global Perspective__ is part of the __American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy__ sub-series of the highly successful __Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology__ series. It is essential reading for graduate students, clinicians, and researchers interested in gene and cell therapy and the regulation of pharmaceuticals.
