Cell and gene therapy approvals in Japan and the need for international harmonization

Cell and gene therapy approvals in Japan and the need for international harmonization
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The positions of regulatory agencies on new classes of biomedical products such as cell and gene therapies1,2,3 have a strong influence on product development but have not been clearly defined. We examined all 17 cell and gene therapies approved as of December 2022 in Japan4 and compared them to the fates of similar candidate therapies in other countries. This analysis identified notable differences with respect to the use of randomized clinical trials (RCTs), the numbers of participants enrolled, and approaches for evaluating trial results. These differences can be influenced by the use of various accelerated-approval pathways, such as Conditional Early Approval in Japan, the Regenerative Medicine Advance Therapy Designation in the United States, and Priority Medicines in the European Union5,6. We conclude that the nascent field of cell and gene therapies would benefit from a concerted effort toward international harmonization with respect to clinical study designs and product approval criteria.
