Advanced therapies are one of the fastest growing sectors in the biopharmaceutical industry. A myriad of new and innovative technologies are being developed to treat human diseases which are often rare or ultra-rare. However, these complex technologies entail regulatory challenges at any stage of the product development. Regulatory requirements for quality, CMC, preclinical and clinical research that may differ by jurisdiation add to the challenges of product development. The first day of the workshop will provide an overview of the regulatory landscape for product development considerations and clinical trial conduct in the European Union and the United States. This overview will include discussion of opportunities to interact with regulators and utilize available regulatory tools. The second day will discuss regulator considerations for specific product types based on case studies
