In this interview with Dr. Riam Shammaa, Medical Director at the Canadian Centres for Regenerative Therapy (CCRT), we discuss FDA regulation of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/P’s), as well as the difference between 351 and 361 products.
While the FDA has a critical role in market oversight, individual market participants are also responsible for understanding the regulatory framework affecting the sale, distribution, and utilization of cell therapy, gene therapy, and tissue engineering products. This interview is aimed to help you understand the FDA framework affecting HCT/Ps within the U.S, as well as the framework and recommendations implemented by Health Canada.
