Abstract There are several critical factors that have influenced the (un)success rate of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) over the first ten years since the EU Regulation 1394/2007 entered into force. This article provides an overview of the current regulatory scenario and outlines the outstanding challenges to be faced in order to further promote research and development of ATMPs and the issues to be considered in the perspective of a possible legislative reform.

The Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) Regulation provides a necessary regulatory framework for the commercialisation and use of regenerative medicine-based therapeutic products in the EU. However, concerns have been raised about the appropriateness of the regulatory strategy it has adopted to address different, complex and evolving categories of medicinal products. This article explores some of the potential shortfalls of the ATMP Regulation with regard to facilitating the research and development of advanced therapies in the present and in the future. It concludes that while providing a much needed harmonised regulatory framework for the companies operating in the sector, the new regulation has yet to demonstrate its capacity to keep up with radical technology changes.

AbstractThe European Union has a public health strategy and will generally ensure in all its policies and activities a “high level of human health protection”. The new Regulation (EC) no 1394/2007 on advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP), stems from this global policy and aims to harmonise access to the ATMP market. A real will for the harmonisation is clearly expressed in legal texts and enforced in the implementable procedures and requirements. However, several barriers remain. On the one hand, the scope of the ATMP Regulation is limited. On the other hand, Member States benefit from a wide margin of action.

Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) containing adipose stem cells (ASCs) has been used for many years in regenerative plastic surgery for autologous applications, without any focus on their potential allogenic role. Allogenic SVF transplants could be based on the possibility to use decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) as a scaffold from a donor then re-cellularized by ASCs of the recipient, in order to develop the advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) in fully personalized clinical approaches. A systematic review of this field has been realized in accordance with the Preferred Reporting for Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. Multistep research of the PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Pre-MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Clinicaltrials.gov, Scopus database, and Cochrane databases has been conducted to identify articles and investigations on human allogenic ASCs transplant for clinical use. Of the 341 articles identified, 313 were initially assessed for eligibility on the basis of the abstract. Of these, only 29 met all the predetermined criteria for inclusion according to the PICOS (patients, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and study design) approach, and 19 have been included in quantitative synthesis (meta-analysis). Ninety-one percent of the studies previously screened (284 papers) were focused on the in vitro results and pre-clinical experiments. The allogenic use regarded the treatment of perianal fistulas, diabetic foot ulcers, knee osteoarthritis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, refractory rheumatoid arthritis, pediatrics disease, fecal incontinence, ischemic heart disease, autoimmune encephalomyelitis, lateral epicondylitis, and soft tissue defects. The information analyzed suggested the safety and efficacy of allogenic ASCs and ECM transplants without major side effects.

Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) embody innovative therapies that have created great hope for patients suffering from previously untreatable diseases. Unfortunately, the pharaonic cost to produce and authorise ATMPs is a challenge for both patients and public health care systems, ultimately reducing patients’ access to treatment. Over the last 11 years, only 15 ATMP marketing authorisation applications received a positive draft opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA’s) Committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT). Moreover, due to poor return on investment, several ATMPs have already been removed from the market. In addition to the centralised procedure to obtain a marketing authorisation, the legislator foresees an alternative route for authorising ATMPs, the so-called “ATMP Hospital Exemption”. However, such ATMPs must be produced on a limited scale, on a non-routine basis. As a result, valuable ATMP therapies that have been used for years in hospitals may disappear. To avoid this, we propose, in this paper, an additional possibility to regularise ATMPs: the “Magistral Preparation of ATMPs”. It is a feasible pathway, which was already proposed for bacteriophage therapy, and which is particularly suitable for personalised therapies and considerably decreases the cost of the final products. We also discuss the practical impact of the ATMP regulation for (for-profit) industries and for (non-profit) hospitals. Two practical examples, the cultured human chondrocytes and the cultured human keratinocytes, are discussed.
