Introduzione

Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are currently undergoing a boom. Several products including viral, non-viral and cell-based products have forged a path to market. In their wake, academics and clinicians continue to lead innovation and unlock the clinical potential of new approaches and technologies, whereas increased industry interest is stimulating investment and industrialization of the processes that lead to commercialization.

This online training course is designed to give a broad scientific and regulatory overview of the current state of the art and challenges facing ATMP development. It will follow the life cycle of an ATMP from concept to clinic and commercialization. and it will take into consideration global regulatory requirements and the often-challenging regulatory problems that ATMPs face.

MODULE 1 (Lecturer: Giovanni Migliaccio)

Introduction to ATMPs and drug development

  • Overview of small molecule drug development vs complex biological drug development
  • EU regulatory framework for ATMPs
  • US regulatory framework for ATMPs

Getting on the right track: early stage regulatory procedures for ATMP development

  • ATMP classification
  • Early stage regulatory procedures brief overview Orphan drug designation (ODD), Paediatric investigation plans (PIPs) and Pediatric study plans (PSPs)., Innovation meetings / scientific advice / protocol assistance / pre-IND meetings, Risk-based assessment and PRIME

 

MODULE 2 (Lecturer: Giovanni Migliaccio)

Chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) for ATMPs

  • Introduction to GMP and GMP guidelines
  • Gene therapy manufacture main concepts
  • Cell-based therapy manufacture main concepts
  • QP release and import/export

Nonclinical issues

  • Overview of nonclinical studies and timing
  • Certification of CMC and/or nonclinical data for ATMPs and SMEs

 

MODULE 3 (Lecturer: Giulia Detela)

Clinical issues

  • CTAs and INDs
  • Core documents
  • GCP for ATMPs
  • Clinical trials design considerations
  • Long-term follow up requirements
  • GMO applications, site licenses

Marketing authorization procedures

  • EU centralised procedure and US biologics license application (BLA)
  • Accelerated assessments, expedited programs and conditional approval
  • Hospital exemption and compassionate use
  • Pharmacovigilance and risk management plans (RMPs)

 

  • Regulatory Affairs Manager, Officer and Specialist
    Development Pharmacist
    Project Manager
    working for pharmaceutical company, Biotech, spin-offs and CROs.

It is also addressed to Researchers and academics in the ATMP field.

 

Participant experience

Participants need to have a basic understanding of regulatory procedures and/or a basic knowledge of ATMP biology.

This limited enrolment online training course is intended to be a virtual class where various expert will guide you into the topics through real world case studies and examples and answering your questions.

Senior Advisor at the European Translational Medicine Research Infrastructure (EATRIS)

Giovanni Migliaccio is the Scientific Director of the Centro Valutazioni Biologiche e Farmacologiche, (CVBF Pavia, IT) and a Senior Advisor for the European Translational Medicine Research Infrastructure (EATRIS, Amsterdam NL).

He obtained a PhD in Biological science in 1977 at the University of Naples (Italy). His interest in science developed around stem cell proliferation and differentiation mechanisms. He spent two years as Post Doc at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) and 5 years as Associate Scientist at the New York Blood Center (New York, NY). He continued his studies at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) in Rome resulting in more than 150 scientific publications over the years.

He is involved in the regulatory aspects of using cultured cells as part of human therapies and acts as an expert for the Italian government in the area of Cell and Gene Therapies. He is also an expert for these products for the European Medicines Agency (EMA). He was also the Chair of the CTP group at the European Department for Quality of Medicines (EDQM) from 2010 to 2018.
