    THESE
    L'impact du droit de l'Union européenne sur la règlementation des médicaments de thérapie innovante en France et au Royaume-Uni, soutenue en 2015 à Toulouse 1 sous la direction de Nathalie De Grove-Valdeyron et Florence Taboulet  

    Les produits de santé fabriqués à base de gènes, cellules et tissus, interrogent les cadres juridiques existants en raison de leur caractère innovant, de la complexité de leurs procédés de fabrication, de leur origine humaine ou animale, des espoirs thérapeutiques suscités face aux risques mal connus qu’ils engendrent, et de leur fort potentiel lucratif. Le droit de l’Union a établi la catégorie juridique des « médicaments de thérapie innovante » pour certains de ces produits de santé afin d’assurer le bon fonctionnement du marché intérieur et de garantir un niveau élevé de protection de la santé publique. Face à ces objectifs, le régime juridique européen est spécifique tout au long de leur cycle de vie par rapport aux médicaments de droit commun. L’application de cette règlementation européenne en France et au Royaume- Uni bouleverse le secteur : les exigences de sécurité sanitaire sont renforcées, la fabrication industrielle et l’accès au marché sont favorisés. Mais l’impact de cette règlementation n’est pas à la hauteur de cette remarquable anticipation règlementaire européenne : seuls quatre médicaments de thérapie innovante sont aujourd’hui autorisés. D’une part, un décalage apparaît entre l’articulation juridique des compétences découlant des traités et la délimitation des règlementations européenne et nationales au regard des objectifs de protection de la santé publique et de bon fonctionnement du marché intérieur, mais également des enjeux éthiques soulevés par ces médicaments. D’autre part, l’accès réel des patients à des médicaments de thérapie innovante sûrs soulève encore de nombreux enjeux règlementaires.

    Regulation of Substances of Human Origin (SoHO) is an important topic of Union health law both in the context of research and in the context of healthcare services and treatment of patients. When we observe Union SoHO law, we do not only observe a linear movement towards greater harmonisation and less differentiation between national laws. At the same time as the 'expected' harmonisation processes of an inexorable process of greater Union law coverage of a field, and less space for national difference, we also observe counter-processes in the opposite direction. Focusing on the role of the Court of Justice of the Union to understand the dynamics of Union regulation of the sector through the analysis of 19 SoHO cases, this article proposes two new legal analytical concepts to explain these processes: 'defragmentation' and 'fragmentation' 10.1163/15718093-bja10166 | European Journal of Health Law (2026) 1-23 which provide an explanatory model as a tool of legal science to use to promote greater understanding of Union law.

    A collectively authored article, which (unusually in legal scholarship) makes explicit the processes and methodologies by which 'European Union health law' is conceptualised; the implications; and the strengths and weaknesses of the approach taken. Strengths include implied structural and systemic coherence; and the breadth of analysis that having a large team of authors permits, through holding their positionalities in creative interplay with each other. The authors argue that European Union health law -defined as transversal and distinctively European Union law that either directly or indirectly affects human health, in a broad sense -should be understood through a metaphor of growth and connectedness, specifically a 'tree' . The article seeks to initiate a discussion not only about European Union health law, but also about European law and health law.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Emmanuelle Rial-Sebbag, « Deciphering the fragmentation of the human genome editing regulatory landscape », Frontiers in Political Science, Frontiers, 2022, n°3   

    Genome editing techniques have generated a growing interest following the discovery of the so-called CRISPR-Cas technique. It has raised a global uproar as regards its use in humans, especially after the 2018 announcement of a Chinese scientist who had successfully used CRISPR to edit the genes of twin embryos. Indeed, one of the greatest concerns, although not the only one, has been the use of genome editing technologies to modify the human germline. In such scientific and technological context, the law plays a key role in framing what should be allowed or prohibited, and under which conditions, to find a balance between safe and accessible innovative treatments and respect of fundamental rights in accordance with the societal values and choices. Within the European Union, several institutions have considered the issues raised by human genome editing and several legal texts participate in the establishment of the European regulatory framework applicable to human genome editing. Yet we argue in this paper that the established regulatory landscape is fragmented in the sense of being divided, split or segmented. Such fragmentation, which may have been inevitable for historical and technico-legal reasons, produces effects regarding the role of the current regulatory frameworks applicable to human genome editing. Focusing on the European Union and on the French levels of governance, we discuss how such fragmentation takes place through the identification of determinants of the human genome editing fragmented regulatory landscape. We argue that it should be seen as a process providing more contingent responses to human genome editing reflecting changing political and legal contexts.

    L’Union européenne (UE) tend à favoriser l’ouverture des processus d’élaboration des politiques publiques à la participation civile. La plateforme des politiques de santé de l’UE en offre une illustration originale : un espace privilégié et permanent de dialogue de représentants de citoyens avec la Commission européenne permet d’informer et d’influencer les politiques de santé, comme en témoigne la création d’un réseau thématique sur la législation pharmaceutique européenne en pleine révision.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Pin Lau, Phoebe Li, Mark Flear, « Framing and legitimating EU legal regulation of human gene-editing technologies: key facets and functions of an imaginary », Journal of Law and the Biosciences, 2021   

    Gene-editing technologies, i.e. those able to make changes in the DNA of an organism, are the object of global competition and a regulatory race between countries and regions. There is an attempt to craft legal frameworks protective enough for users, but flexible enough for developers of gene-editing technologies. This article examines the imaginary built into the framing of EU-level legal regulation of human gene-editing technologies and identifies its three key related facets: the tension around naturalness; safeguarding morality and ethics; and the pursuit of medical objectives for the protection of human health. Concerns around the use of gene-editing technologies in relation to eugenics and human enhancement have produced a multi-faceted imaginary. We argue that this imaginary not only places a limit on EU-level regulation, despite a strong EU competence in respect of the internal market, but also seeks to ensure its legitimation.

    La réglementation des innovations en santé, qui soulèvent à la fois de nombreux espoirs thérapeutiques et économiques mais aussi des risques, est essentielle et complexe. Le droit de l’Union Européenne (UE) s’est intéressé à ces innovations notamment à travers diverses règlementations, telles celles relatives aux médicaments de thérapie innovante ou aux cellules et tissus humains. Au sein de l’UE, il existe une stratégie européenne d’innovation en santé transversale et implicite, actuellement intégrée à diverses autres stratégies qui ont pour objectif le renforcement de l’économie et l’amélioration de la santé. Cette contribution soutient que l’UE devrait explicitement adopter une telle stratégie : elle discute de son intérêt et de son contenu.

    L’ingénierie cellulaire et tissulaire est devenue un enjeu social et politique fort, qui implique des règlementations et des informations adaptées à la réalité biologique couverte par ces biotechnologies. Cet état de fait pose nombre de défis didactiques dans la structuration du débat scientifique ainsi que dans la mise en œuvre de politiques culturelles adaptées. En effet, l’état de « souche » est un terme scientifiquement polysémique qui suscite des malentendus accentués par le fait que le mode de qualification de la cellule « souche » en droit et en biologie n’est pas comparable. Malheureusement, la complexité des terminologies employées pour décrire le monde vivant est souvent occultée dans les débats publics et sous-estimée dans les stratégies de communication scientifiques. Or, ces aspects sémantiques posent des défis à la compréhension publique de la médecine dite « régénératrice ». Ils interrogent les cadrages de l’action publique culturelle et les régimes de visualisation de la complexité biologique.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, « La promotion de l’innovation en matière de santé: quelles logiques à l’œuvre dans l’Union européenne? », Revue des Affaires européennes/Law European & Affairs, Bruylant / Larcier (en ligne), 2018   

    L’innovation dans le domaine de la santé suscite à la fois espoirs et craintes. Elle est valorisée et favorisée en ce qu’elle participe à l’amélioration de la santé publique et au développement économique. Mais elle est aussi contrôlée au regard des risques qu’elle peut engendrer pour la santé. Au niveau de l’Union européenne, l’innovation en santé se situe au carrefour de plusieurs stratégies européennes solides qui s’inscrivent dans les logiques d’économie, d’innovation et de recherche, et de santé publique de l’Union européenne. Si la promotion de l’innovation en santé relève principalement de la logique d’économie et d’innovation de l’Union européenne, la logique santé devrait être valorisée à travers la reconnaissance d’une stratégie européenne d’innovation en santé.

    Nous nous intéressons dans cette contribution aux enjeux liés aux essais cliniques et au droit applicable aux médicaments de thérapie innovante(MTI). En effet, d’un point de vue scientifique et technique, la caractérisation et la manipulation des cellules et tissus vivants en vue de leur utilisation thérapeutique posent problèmes pour garantir leur stabilité à long terme, en particulier au regard de leur tendance naturelle à l’évolution et à l’interaction au sein du corps humain. Il en résulte des difficultés pour garantir la sécurité et l’efficacité à long terme de ces MTI, qu’il s’agisse des risques de tumeurs, de contamination des cellules et tissus par des agents infectieux ou de rejet immunitaire ou encore, dans le cas des médicaments de thérapie génique, d’intégration du matériel génétique à un endroit non voulu. Or, les essais cliniques restent l’outil de prédilection pour prouver la sécurité et l’efficacité des médicaments. La réglementation européenne des essais cliniques des MTI contribue-t-elle au développement de ces médicaments en vue de leur accessibilité aux patients de l’Union européenne, en réponse à leurs attentes de sécurité et d’accès rapide à des traitements innovants ?

    To encourage and maximise the use of human biological material in Europe, the European Commission instigated a main Directive in 2004 (Directive 2004/23/EC), four technical ones in 2006 (Commission Directives 2006/17/EC and 2006/86/EC) and in 2015 (Commission Directives (EU) 2015/565 and (EU) 2015/566). They encourage the donation of tissues and cells for transplant purposes in the safeguard of public health. Another major aim of Directive 2004/23/EC is to guarantee recipients' safety in transplantation. Hence, measures for accreditation of establishments storing, preparing and distributing tissues and cells are required to be implemented in Members States' jurisdictions. In addition, adequate training is required for the personnel directly involved in such activities. Despite the adoption of a "full legislation, " the EU legal framework for cells cannot be seen as totally harmonized. In this article we first address the issues posed at the European level by the uses of human cells as therapeutic agent with regards to their qualification: body elements? Medicinal product? We study the ways to address these bioethical dilemmas at an EU level. Then we discuss the impact of this qualification in terms of safety through the definition of safety's measures and their limits regarding the directive's scope. We conclude with the emergence of an "ethical safety".

    EuroGCT WP4 develops an information hub for the research and regulatory communities that facilitates access of these communities to information on the practical steps needed for cell and gene-based therapy development and promotes information exchange within and between these communities. This tailored section of www.eurogct.org aims to create a ‘one-stop shop’ on where to seek further information and guidance relating to manufacturing guidelines, regulatory requirements, intellectual property rights, market acceptability and ethical matters related to advanced therapies development. Report D2.2 summarises the activities performed regarding the dissemination and uptake of information produced in WP4 between month 12 (since the launch of the new website) and month 30.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Hsin-Yu Kuo, Luc-Sylvain Gilbert, Auxane Delage, EuroGCT D4-2: Resources on practical steps- a set of information resources on the practical steps needed for cell and gene therapy development, 2023   

    The European Consortium for Communicating Gene and Cell Therapy Information (EuroGCT) has two major objectives: • To provide patients, people affected by conditions, healthcare professionals and citizens with accurate scientific, legal, ethical and societal information and with engagement opportunities, and thus to support better informed decision-making related to cell and gene-based therapies. • To facilitate better decision-making at key points in development of new therapies and thus enable improved product development, by providing the research community and regulatory and healthcare authorities with an information source on the practical steps needed for cell and gene therapy development. Work Package 4 (WP4) is developing an information hub for the research and regulatory communities that facilitates access of these communities to information on the practical steps needed for cell- and gene-based therapy development and promotes information exchange within and between these communities. Deliverable 4.2 is a set of information resources on the practical steps needed for cell and gene therapy development, which can be viewed online at www.eurogct.org/researchpathways.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Hsin-Yu Kuo, Luc-Sylvain Gilbert, Auxane Delage, EuroGCT D4-1: Landscape mapping, report on mapping of European cell and gene therapy landscape at multiple levels, 2023   

    Deliverable 4.1 is a report on the mapping of the European gene-based and cell therapies landscape. This deliverable provides an update to the earlier deliverable, D.4.8 Initial Landscape Mapping, which was submitted in the first reporting period. D4.8 reported the mapping, performed by EuroGCT, of the European landscapes associated with gene and cell therapy related product development pathways including ethical, legal, regulatory and societal issues (ELSI). Related, D4.7 Information collation, also submitted in the first reporting period, detailed our methodology for information collection and curation. The work reported in D4.7 and D4.8 resulted in creation of a development framework for a practical tool entitled “Development pathways for bringing gene and cell therapies from the lab to patients” with the short website name of “Research Pathways” (see D4.8). This tool was organised as a Web tree, into which general information on the development pathways for bringing gene and cell therapies from the lab to patients (hereafter the “Research Pathways Tree”) was organised. The Research Pathways Tree also included the organised information (mapping/inventory of information) of the practical steps required for cell and gene therapy development in Europe as well as links on relevant and existing information and guidance. The present report, D4.1, therefore moves beyond the initial mapping to focus on implementation of these processes. This has required a combination of actions: Identification of the detailed information required to populate the Research Pathways Tree was described in D4.8; in this reporting period, we have: 1) created original EuroGCT resources around development pathways for bringing gene and cell therapies from the lab to patients, the Research Pathways Tree (see D4.8 Annex 1 for details), 2) co-developed resources through collaboration, 3) selected and signposted to existing high quality resources (based on the methodology detailed in D4.7), and 4) launched an updated ‘Research Pathways’ database featuring improved navigability and information organisation. In the following sections, we provide the details of each action we have taken, our thought processes and some challenges we have come across. The outputs are published on the EuroGCT website in the Research Pathways section (www.eurogct.org/research-pathways) as a searchable and filterable database and will continually be updated throughout the course of the project. (See also: D4.2).

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Hsin-Yu Kuo, Luc-Sylvain Gilbert, Auxane Delage, Anna Couturier, EuroGCT Deliverable D4.7: Information collation, report on collation of existing information and links on where to seek information and guidance- Version 2.0, 2023   

    Deliverable D.4.7 "Information collation - Report on collation of existing information and links on where to seek information and guidance" describes the methodology and tools used for collecting and selecting information regarding gene and cell therapy development. It focuses on how the information is collated rather than summarising the collated information itself. The published and subsequent output of the methodological reporting in this early-project deliverable is presented in D4.2. The collated information is presented in the EuroGCT website Research Pathways section (https://www.eurogct.org/research-pathways) as a searchable and filterable database. New content developed by the EuroGCT project and signposting to additional collated resources is now continually incorporated into this database, and this will continue throughout the duration of the project. The overall objective of WP4 is to develop an information hub for the research and regulatory communities, facilitating their access to high-quality information on the practical steps needed for cell and gene-based therapy development at each stage of the product development process. This deliverable, on the means of information-gathering, constitutes the foundation of all information provision by WP4. It forms the basis of all deliverables within WP4, from past deliverables (D4.4 Regulator Engagement Strategy, D4.8 Initial Landscape Mapping, and D4.9 Initial Information on Practical Steps) to deliverables due now (D4.1 Landscape Mapping, and D4.2 Resources on Practical Steps), and future deliverables (D4.3 Searchable Map, D4.5 Knowledge Sharing Function, and D4.6 Hub for the Research and Regulatory Communities). How the information is collated feeds into what information is selected, information quality and whether it meets the needs of the stakeholders. It therefore affects every output from WP4. For this reason, it is of fundamental importance to report on the details of the approaches we have taken. The field of gene and cell therapy is rapidly advancing, and so is the relevant scientific and legal information. The EuroGCT WP4 has been and will continue to review and update our methodology for collecting this information throughout the project span. Updates within the current reporting period have been reflected in this report within relevant sections and annexes.

    On behalf of the Interest Group on Supranational Biolaw of the European Association of Health Law (EAHL IG Biolaw) and the I-BioLex research project (ANR-20-CE26-0007-01), Éloïse Gennet and Aurélie Mahalatchimy have been coordinating, since September 2021, the thematic network on the pharmaceutical strategy on the European Health Policy Platform (EUHPP) of the European Commission. The thematic network of the EAHL IG Biolaw, selected by the European Commission and by the users of the EUHPP platform, is entitled “Health as a fundamental value. Towards an inclusive and equitable pharmaceutical strategy for the European Union”. This network enables to link the EAHL IG Biolaw, exclusively constituted by researchers and academics in the field of health law in Europe, on the one hand with the European Commission and in particular DG Health, and on the other hand with socio-economic actors interested in EU law applicable to medicinal products and medical devices (patient representatives, representatives of health professionals or non-governmental organizations in the field of health). After several months of fruitful exchanges, the final joint statement which was very favorably received by DG Health and endorsed by several organizations (including the President of Aix-Marseille University and the CNRS) has been presented at the EU Health Policy Platform Annual Meeting 2022 at the European Commission and published on the EUHPP in May 2022.

'Value' is understood in many different ways and diverging interests are being mobilised. How are values in biomedical innovation being expressed, represented, materialised and aligned or contested in different areas of biomedicine? How do values embedded in regulation, public health, economic policies, healthcare provision, technology assessment, producers' strategies, and patient organisation movements shape biomedical innovations? At an ESOF discussion in Toulouse multidisciplinary perspectives on value between panel members and public participants will be explored and possible pathways to common solutions identified that promote socially acceptable biomedical innovation in the European context.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Luc-Sylvain Gilbert, Manufacturing Authorisation of ATMPs, 2024 

    The manufacture of medicinal products in the European Union (EU) is subject to manufacturing authorisation. Any legal entity, generally a company, wishing to manufacture a medicinal product must hold a manufacturing authorisation issued by the national competent authority of the Member State where they carry out these activities. To obtain a manufacturing authorisation, all medicinal products for human use intended for the EU market must be produced in accordance with EU quality standards: Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) principles and guidelines, and the European Pharmacopeia. The manufacturers are also obliged to have a qualified person responsible for ensuring that the requirements adopted for the manufacturing authorisation and the applicable legislation are respected. Ensuring the quality of medicines is a criterion to obtain marketing authorisation and corresponds to Module 3 of the Marketing Authorisation Application dossier, "Chemical, pharmaceutical, and biological documentation" (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls -CMC) that aims to determine the specifications capable of guaranteeing the reproducibility of the medicine’s composition. This stage is particularly challenging for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) regarding their level of complexity (especially for manufacturing processes) and their specific characteristics, especially the use of substances of human origin such as blood, tissues and cells, and the reproducibility when using live biological samples. That is why, Guidelines on GMP specific to ATMPs have been published in 2017 by the European Commission, in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Luc-Sylvain Gilbert, Autorisation de fabrication des médicaments de thérapie innovante, 2024 

    La fabrication de médicaments dans l'Union européenne (UE) est soumise à une autorisation de fabrication. Toute personne morale, généralement une entreprise, souhaitant fabriquer un médicament doit détenir une autorisation de fabrication délivrée par l'autorité nationale compétente de l'État membre dans lequel elle exerce ces activités. Pour obtenir une autorisation de fabrication, tous les médicaments à usage humain destinés au marché de l'UE doivent être produits conformément aux normes de qualité de l'UE : principes et lignes directrices des Bonnes Pratiques de Fabrication (BPF) et Pharmacopée européenne. Les fabricants sont également tenus d'avoir une personne qualifiée chargée de veiller au respect des exigences requises par l'autorisation de fabrication et la législation applicable. Garantir la qualité des médicaments est un critère d'obtention de l'autorisation de mise sur le marché et correspond au module 3 du dossier de demande d'autorisation de mise sur le marché, « Documentation chimique, pharmaceutique et biologique » (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls -CMC) qui vise à déterminer les spécifications capables de garantir la reproductibilité de la composition du médicament. Cette étape est particulièrement délicate pour les Médicaments de Thérapie Innovante (MTI) en raison de leur niveau de complexité (en particulier des procédés de fabrication) et de leurs caractéristiques spécifiques, notamment l'utilisation de substances d'origine humaine telles que le sang, les tissus et cellules, et la reproductibilité lors de l'utilisation d'échantillons biologiques vivants. C'est pourquoi des lignes directrices sur les BPF spécifiques aux MTI ont été publiées en 2017 par la Commission européenne, conformément à l'article 5 du Règlement (CE) n° 1394/2007.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Luc-Sylvain Gilbert, Good Manufacturing Practice for ATMPs, 2024 

    Under European Union (EU) law, the manufacture or import of medicinal products in the European Union is subject to manufacturing or import authorisation. Any company wishing to manufacture a medicinal product must hold a manufacturing authorisation issued by the national competent authority of the Member State where they carry out these activities. To obtain a manufacturing or import authorisation, all medicinal products for human use intended for the European Union market must be produced in accordance with EU Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) principles and guidelines. GMP is a code of quality standards concerning the manufacture, processing, packing, release and holding of a medicinal product placed within the European Economic Area. GMP describes the minimum standard that a medicines manufacturer must meet in their production and quality control processes, including those involving medicinal products intended for export only and medicines and active substances imported into the EU. GMP is mandatory for all medicinal products that have been granted a marketing authorisation as well as for the manufacture of investigational medicinal products. GMP is also applicable to Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). However, regarding the level of complexity and the specific characteristics of ATMPs (use of substances of human origin such as blood, tissues and cells), the European Commission has published in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007 on ATMPs, Guidelines on GMP specific to ATMPs. These guidelines provide the GMP requirements that should be applied in the manufacturing of ATMPs that have been granted a marketing authorisation and/or used in clinical trial setting.

    Background: Gene and cell therapies (GCTs) face various communication and comprehension challenges when transitioning from bench to bedside. These challenges include complex science, regulation, and ethics, impacting clinical adoption and the GCTs sector. Moreover, the challenges are often exacerbated by misinformation and voices dominated by AI-mediated search platforms owned by tech giants. Methods: The EuroGCT consortium was built through connecting 47 European partner organisations including academic institutions, learned societies, national centres of excellence, and patient organisations. Funded by the European Commission, the consortium has created a network of expertise and an online information hub that focusses on the pivotal role of science communication in navigating the complexities of therapy development and public comprehension. It is dedicated to demystifying GCTs as it extends beyond the laboratory and enters the realms of broader societal impact. We began from the position that digital spaces – particularly search engines like Google – create the backbone of the informational environments that inform non-expert interactions. Through targeted science communication initiatives, building and updating our information hub at www.eurogct.org, we explore the significance of engaging with diverse stakeholders, including patient advocacy groups, regulators, clinicians, developers, media, bioethicists, social scientists, artists, computer scientists, and the public at large. By fostering two-way dialogue and disseminating accessible information including explainers, factsheets, films, and educational material, we empower these stakeholders as they search for high quality referential information online. Through implementing self-developed, research-led search engine optimisation and metadata enhancements, we improve EuroGCT resources’ visibility in search engines and generative AI searches. By fostering engagement, promoting transparency, and advocating for collaborative resource development, EuroGCT endeavours to realise the full potential of these transformative treatments to improve health outcomes while contributing to a fair and equitable society. Results: EuroGCT is a common information hub for pre-competitive, international and interdisciplinary collaboration to address pressing concerns faced by our research community as well as the patients and publics. To empower the public and patient stakeholders to actively and effectively participate in shaping the trajectory of GCT development, we have developed accurate and accessible information explaining the science, the ethical and social impact in the Discover section of the hub. To help stakeholders interested in developing GCTs navigate the complex pathways bringing therapies from lab to patients, the Research Pathways section facilitates their access to information on practical steps needed at each stage of product development. Our results extend beyond the boundaries of public facing information to address key considerations in all stages of therapy development, such as regulatory frameworks, accessibility, and equitable access. Website traffic and search engine (including AI search) integration demonstrate EuroGCT's success in achieving its objectives. Conclusions: The EuroGCT consortium's work underscores the critical importance of collective science communication in driving responsible and inclusive translation of gene and cell therapies beyond the laboratory through accessible information. EuroGCT’s information hub is an established common tool for all European stakeholders.

    Aurélie Mahalatchimy, Adrien Bottacci, Guylène Nicolas, « Obtaining cells for biomedical research and innovative therapies: which regulatory pathways in France? », le 17 novembre 2025 

    Objective: Human cells procurement is the basis of biomedical research and, consequently, of the production of innovative therapies. In France, multiple procedures apply and overlap, which results in a complex regulatory landscape. The objective of this work is to provide a clear overview of the existing regulatory pathways for cell procurement, to assist stakeholders in navigating these various procedures and identifying easily the one most relevant to their respective cases. Methods: First, we identified the relevant legal texts and their specific provisions that cover the procurement of human cells. Second, taking into account the identified relevant academic literature, we analysed them to determine the applicable legal frameworks as well as the areas of uncertainty that need clarification. Third, we used graphical representations to improve the accessibility of these applicable procedures. Results: An array of procedures governs the use of human cells, depending on the source of the cells, the activities conducted with them, and the type of finished product. In certain contexts, multiple procedures may overlap. Although some existing resources explain each procedure individually, it remains challenging to identify all relevant frameworks applicable to specific activities. This issue is even more salient for (stem) cells researchers who must implement them to conduct their activities. While there are calls to simplify some of these frameworks by relying more on the accountability of actors, there has been no clear signal of legislative change in the near future. Conclusion: While the French regulatory approach is complex, it is rooted in a strong ethical commitment, with particular attention paid to ethical issues in the bioethics law. However, this traditional stance has been increasingly challenged by international pressure to develop a more competitive research environment. As a result, the French legal framework for human cell procurement and biomedical use is shaped by this tension between ethical caution and the drive to increase competitiveness. Whether the ongoing calls for reform will translate into substantive changes remain a question of public and policy discussion.

    This workshop addresses the challenges of ensuring patient access to Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) in the EU, where high costs and national-level reimbursement decisions create inequalities despite centralised marketing authorisation. Product withdrawals have occurred due to commercial reasons. Key obstacles include diverse Health Technology Assessment (HTA) methods and varying tolerance for uncertainty. The 2021 EU HTA regulation, effective January 2025 for ATMPs and cancer medicines, aims to support Member States in taking timely and evidenced-based decisions for patients’ access to health technologies. The workshop explores opportunities and challenges of implementing HTA at both European and National levels. This workshop is part of the Regulatory Engagement Strategy of the European project EuroGCT (European Consortium for Communicating Gene and Cell Therapy Information), which aims to promote exchanges between stakeholders and regulators.

    Since the publication of the European Regulation (No. 1394/2007) on Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) in 2007, innovative therapies based on genes, cells, or tissues have reshaped the pharmaceutical landscape. While offering significant opportunities for economic and medical advances, their complex manufacturing raises specific issues on quality and regulatory issues. Detailed guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) specifically tailored to ATMPs have been adopted by the European Commission and have been enforceable since 2017. They address new technological developments, scientific advances, and more suitable production and distribution pathways. To date, 27 ATMPs have obtained a marketing autorisation in Europe, but most are still at the clinical trial stage although they could provide very promising options for addressing unmet medical needs. Making ATMPs accessible to patients remains challenging due to factors such as high cost, the specialized nature of ATMPs manufacturing including stringent safety and efficacy. Moreover, current healthcare infrastructures often require substantial adaptations to accommodate the logistical demands of these treatments.The Hospital Exemption (HE) is a regulatory provision of the European Regulation, that allows the use of certain ATMPs without formal central marketing authorization provided specific criteria are met: a medical prescription for an individual patient, a use within the same Member State, in a hospital setting under the exclusive responsibility of a medical practitioner, a GMP compliant manufacturing. HE implementation and oversight are regulated at the national level by the competent authority of each EU Member State. It provides a practical solution for bypassing the lengthy centralized authorization and facilitating timely access to innovations stemming from academic research and hospital initiatives. In France, a significant regulatory evolution in the field of ATMPs has been recently introduced by the decree on February 16, 2022, pursuant to French Law No. 2021-1017. It establishes a sub-exemption mechanism within the broader HE framework, specifically designed to address the practical challenges of certain ATMPs derived from autologous cells or tissues and involving no substantial manipulation. It authorizes the preparation, distribution, and administration of ATMPs, within the same medical procedure as the procurement of autologous tissues or cells used in their composition, without requiring a specially authorized manufacturing establishment, providing prior validation by the French National Agency for Medicines Safety (ANSM). By formalizing a legal framework for decentralized, bedside production, the decree aligns regulation with the practical realities of personalized medicine, favors more agile healthcare organization and fasters patient access. We aim to present and discuss the first application of this innovative regulatory framework within the MICROPREP III clinical trial (EudraCT No 2023-507683-40). This trial is designed to evaluate in 180 patients the efficacy of intra-articular injections of autologous microfat, optionally combined with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP), as an adjunctive therapy for patients with Knee osteoarthritis. The application of the single-step autologous ATMPs exemption needed to implement new measures and agreements between clinicians and manufacturer to ensure compliance to GMP guidelines and ATMPs quality remaining under the responsibility of the authorized establishment despite delocalization.

    While industry developed and manufactured Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) benefit from a centralised marketing authorisation procedure that allows commercialization in all Member States of the European Union (EU), and despite improvement in EU citizen access to ATMPs being stated as one of the two major objectives when the ATMP regulation was released, actual patient access to ATMPs remains one of the most challenging issues to be addressed. Prices of ATMPs are among the highest despite difficulties in proving long term efficacy on significant numbers of patients, although it is fair to acknowledge that cumulative costs of supportive and curative treatments that are administered on repeated occasions may fall in the same ranges. Publicly accessible data show prices that vary from several hundreds of thousands euros to several million euros per treatment, with a continuous trend in increasing prices that has fuelled the concept of “financial toxicity” for those and other categories of treatments. Payment and reimbursement mechanisms as well as decisions on the levels of healthcare expenditures are established at national and possibly in some countries at regional levels by Heathcare Technology Assesment (HTA) agencies and other governmental bodies, with limited possibilities at the European level. Indeed, mainly apart from the Transparency directive and the recently strengthened collaboration in the field of HTA thanks to the adoption of the HTA regulation following the HTA initiatives at the EU level, each Member States is sovereign in determining its health expenses, including to decide on the reimbursement of ATMPs by its National health insurance system. Actual prices paid by public or private payers are not public, and a significant rebate may result from prior and mutual negotiations between drug manufacturers and healthcare providers, the latter receiving reimbursement from health insurers. In addition, specific programs such as the “Early Access” (“Accès précoces”) program in France may speed up access to innovative treatments in some countries, thus favouring a category of EU citizens over others. Thus, actual patient access to ATMPs in the European Union is not only limited, but also heterogeneous, highlighting the existing gap between the intentions stated in the ATMP Regulation and other EU documents and the actual achievements; these diverse factors resulting in an unsatisfactory situation where patients in need of lifesaving treatments face a shortage on a day-to-day basis, not because of insufficient manufacturing capacities as is the case for low-cost drugs, but because of insufficient payment capacities. This poster first provides an overview of the known prices of the 26 ATMPs that have so far obtained a marketing authorisation in the EU. It also highlights what is regulated at the EU and at the National levels in this area. Finally, it suggests potential solutions to improve patients’ access to ATMPs.

    Medicinal products based on genes, cells and tissues of human or animal origin are being developed to treat severe diseases that conventional treatments have failed to treat or that have no available and satisfactory treatments, such as rare, genetic, or neurodegenerative diseases. The risks they raise as innovative and complex medicines but also the therapeutic promises they offer have led to their specific regulation as Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) in the European Union (EU). Indeed, they are especially submitted to the centralised procedure of Marketing Authorisation (MA) issued by the European Commission. This procedure aims not only to ensure high quality, safety and efficacy for ATMPs with a positive risk-benefit balance to be commercialised, but also a wide access to these medicines for EU patients. Nevertheless, this procedure alone is not always sufficient to allow the commercialisation of ATMPs, and many of them require expediting pathways or regulatory support schemes for innovative medicines to be commercialised. From the adoption of the EU regulation, 25 ATMPs have been granted a MA in the EU. Although there has been a clear increase in approvals from 2018, MA has been withdrawn or not renewed for 7 of them. Starting from the centralised procedure as the strongest and first legal procedure for the widest and safest patients access to these innovative medicines, this poster will provide an overview of the European MA expediting pathways and of their use, for ATMPs to be accessible, and discuss the challenges of their quick but safe commercialisation.

    Genes, cells, and tissues based medicinal products are specifically regulated as Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) within the European Union (EU) from the adoption of Regulation (EC) n°1394/2007 on ATMPs. Beyond legislative requirements, the complexity and scientific technicity of these medicines, as well as the necessary flexibility to take into account the evolutions and the scientific and regulatory experience gained has led to the development of an important amount of guidelines in the field. These guidelines have mainly been adopted by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European regulatory agency especially in charge of the scientific assessment of medicines to be commercialized in the EU. Some of them have also been adopted by the European Commission which grants the final marketing authorization for medicines to enter the EU market. The adoption of EU guidelines involves a public consultation procedure to gather comments from stakeholders and interested parties. Our poster aims at mapping these different actors, and their potential changes over time, to allow for a realistic and concrete portrait of all stakeholders and interested parties involved in the field of ATMPs regarding their European regulation through guidelines. The identification of EU scientific guidelines applicable to ATMPs, and of the actors involved in the consultation process has led to the establishment of a database with over 200 organizations corresponding to fourteen guidelines for which dates of production range from 2008 to 2022. The organizations have been classified by type (Business, Academia, National bodies, etc.), country, and theme of the drafts of guidelines they commented on. This poster especially highlights and discusses which organizations have influenced the adoption of EU scientific guidelines on ATMPs; some of them commenting almost all guidelines in the field while others considered only certain guidelines. Findings concern both the number and quality of stakeholders with the aim to understand over time, what types of organizations from which country have been the most active in answering to guidelines’ consultations, who were the major or more prolific respondents, and what themes were more often commented.

    Many actors influence the framing of EU legislation and regulation applicable to gene and cell therapy. Nevertheless, one can wonder how much their activity is focusing on gene and cell therapy or whether it is part of a wider set of activities taking place in the more general theme of biomedical innovation. From an identification of the actors involved in the public consultation process of adoption of Regulations on Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products, on substances of human origin, and of guidance applicable to ATMPs, a few of them have been selected in order to conduct more specific analysis. Our selection process for this pilot analysis included the following criteria: European level organisation, degree of the involvement in the above-mentioned consultation processes, combination between organisations the names of which imply either a very specific or a general remit. Another choice has been to include European organisations particularly relevant for pharmacists, as professionals involved all along the medicinal products’ life cycle. It resulted in a set of 13 European organisations: 5 business associations (Medtech Europe, European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, European Biopharmaceutical Enterprises, European Associations for Bioindustries, European Confederation of Pharmaceutical Entrepreneurs), 2 professional organisations (European Industrial Pharmacists Group, European Association of Hospital Pharmacists), 4 learned societies (European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, European Society for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation, European Eye Bank Association, European Association of Tissue Banks, European Association of Hospital Pharmacists), 1 research institution taking the form of European project (European Network for the Advancement of Clinical Gene Transfer & Therapy), 1 European network based on national medicines agencies (EU innovation network). Then, in depth research has been conducted on the website of each organisation in order to identify their activity within and beyond gene and cell therapy regarding biomedical innovation in general. On the one hand, this poster highlights the main results concerning their organization: especially structure, governance, potential change of name or merger over time, as well as specific or general working committees. On the second hand, their fields of activity are described following an analysis based on a set of keywords. Whereas some keywords are heavily used by all organisations (gene therapy, cell therapy for example), others are more specific (orphan medicine) and others very rare (organoid).

    1.Background Communicating information on the regulatory framework applicable to gene and cell therapies, at every stage of development and towards every actor involved, is a challenge. Therapy development needs to comply with several regulatory requirements mostly to ensure products’ and patients’ safety, the complexity comes from the diversity of the regulatory frameworks. Some requirements are binding, others are guidance only. Most aspects are governed by European Union law, but some remain regulated on a national scale. The regulatory landscape is a combination of general and specific rules and guidance depending on competent institutions (e.g. EU and Member States regulatory agencies or health technology assessment bodies), types of products, and steps of their developments. 2.Methods The European Consortium for Communicating Gene and Cell Therapy Information (EuroGCT) is building an online tool to provide research pathways’ information. Therefore, communicating clear, precise, and accurate information in the form of a database. It will allow professionals of the field as well as patients to be informed on all regulatory aspects of the development of a Gene and Cell therapy product. 3.Results Depending on the legal classification of these therapies different regulatory pathways appear, which are shown on the EuroGCT website. Becoming a “one-stop shop” for accurate legal information on the legal classification of Gene and Cell therapies from lab to patient. 4.Conclusions The tool will facilitate better decision-making at key points in development of new therapies and thus enable improved product development, by providing the research community and regulatory and healthcare authorities with an information source on the practical steps needed for cell and gene therapy development.

    In the European Union, gene and cell therapy medicinal products are mainly regulated by the specific legal framework applicable to Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs): regulation (EC) n°1394/2007. Yet most ATMPs that have been authorised for marketing in the European Union are also classified as orphan medicinal products. The latter are regulated by a different but also specific legal instrument : Regulation (EC) n°141/2000, which aims to promote the development of innovative medicines for orphan diseases thanks to a set of incentives for investigators. However, after twenty years of implementation, results are still unsatisfactory for several reasons. One of these reasons is that the market of orphan medicinal products had “started to look more similar to ‘standard’ medicines” than innovative medicines like ATMPs. Moreover, it has also been observed that even when marketed, orphan medicinal products fail in being equally accessible to patients in the different Member States. The European Commission has started a long and thorough revision process of the pharmaceutical legislation in order to give a new impulse to the development of, and access to, truly innovative orphan medicinal products, which may have a positive impact for patients as well as for investigators working on gene and cell therapies. In this poster, we will discuss what aspects of the revision of the regulation on orphan medicinal products may have an impact on the development of gene and cell therapy in the European Union.

    Quality control and batch release raise specific challenges for ensuring quality and complying with regulatory requirements in order to obtain manufacturing and marketing authorizations for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). ATMPs are medicinal products based on genes, cells and tissues that have been specifically regulated in the European Union (EU) from 2007. In the guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) specific to ATMPs from the European Commission, specific requirements cover quality control and batch release. They are distinct from the ones than can be found in other guidelines on GMP applicable to other kinds of biological medicinal products. Through a comparative textual analysis of the GMP guidelines for biological medicinal products and ATMPs, this poster will highlight the key areas of similarities and differences. Our analysis mainly focuses on qualification and validation procedures, batch release process, quality defects and product recalls, and automated production of ATMPs. This analysis reveals why we have two different texts and whether they are based on substantial differences regarding quality control and batch release between ATMPs and other types of biological medicinal products.

    The European Medicines Agency has recently revised its guidelines on quality, non-clinical and clinical aspects of Gene Therapy Medicinal Products (GTMPs text) and of medicinal products containing genetically modified cells (GMCMPs text), respectively in 2018 for the former and in 2020 for the latter. The latest revision has been particularly justified by the new developments in genome editing techniques, especially the wide use of the CRISPR-Cas technique, and with T-cells. Gene therapy medicinal product (GTMP) is a legal sub-category of medicines among Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). However, medicinal product containing genetically modified cells (GMCMP) is not explicitly mentioned as a legal subcategory under EU regulation n°1394/2007 on ATMPs. Nevertheless, both GTMPs and GMCMPs should be considered as ATMPs under European Union Law. On the one hand, quality issues have been raised for all ATMPs regarding the reproducibility of the manufacturing process given the variable character of the starting materials. On the other hand, there is an overlap in the scope of the aforementioned guidelines when medicinal products containing genetically modified cells are to be considered gene therapy medicinal products. What are the similarities and differences between the quality of gene therapy medicinal products and the quality of medicinal products containing genetically modified cells while both are ATMPs? This poster is based on a comparative analysis of the quality sections of the two above-mentioned texts. In a first systematic approach, we identified the similarities and the specificities of texts outline (sub-section titles). Then, we analysed contents through the establishment of 3 types of comparative tables using color codes: common titles, different titles with similar contents, different titles with different contents in order to highlight similarities and specificities regarding the quality requirements between these two kinds of medicinal products when they are intended for use in humans and presented for marketing authorization applications.

    While Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), a European legal classification of medicinal products based on genes, cells and tissues, raise specific quality issues, the latter are particularly acute in the context of clinical trials of ATMPs. In comparison to more traditional medicinal products, ATMPs have been subject to specific regulatory provisions in the European Union (EU) since 2007. In addition, many new guidelines have also been adopted to consider the issues raised by ATMPS. Most importantly for investigational ATMPs, the European Commission has adopted and published Guidelines on Good Clinical Practice specific to ATMPs in 2019. Not only are these guidelines targeting ATMPs, they also have a dedicated section on investigational ATMPs exploring the particular challenges raised when tissues and cells of human origin, are administered to a human trial subject, including when ATMPS incorporate medical devices, or delivered with the aim of reconstituting a given bodily tissue or organ. The aim of this poster is to highlight the specificity of quality requirements of investigational ATMPs by examining the dedicated subsections in the guidelines published by the European Commission and analysing them through the lens of the corresponding scientific literature. On the basis of the identification of the specific requirements regarding the quality of investigational ATMPs, the poster will reveal why they raise specific challenges and why these challenges deserve separate regulation in order to demonstrate quality in clinical trials.
