Regulatory considerations for pluripotent stem cell therapies

Melissa K Carpenter. Prog Brain Res. 2017.

Abstract

The development of pluripotent stem cell (PSC) therapies is rapidly advancing, and a number of PSC-derived cell products are currently being tested in clinical trials. The biological complexity of these therapies results in specific challenges in complying with regulatory guidelines. This includes the choice of starting material, reproducible and consistent manufacturing, and preclinical safety and efficacy assessment of the PSC-derived product. This review discusses current US cell therapy regulations and strategies for compliance with these regulations when developing PSC-derived products.
