Course Overview

 

Cell and Gene Therapies (CGT) or ATMPs provide cutting edge treatments for diseases that were once impossible to overcome. Due to their complexity, the quality and regulatory requirements are difficult to interpret and follow. Regulatory agencies require specific quality data for clinical approval and full market approval making the role of regulatory professional a difficult one.

 

This training course will provide you with a complete understanding of the regulatory and quality requirements for cell and gene therapies in the EU and US. Once completed, you will know the regulatory requirements and quality data required in clinical applications and the Common Technical Document (CTD). With a complete understanding of the regulatory routes to market in the EMA and FDA, you will have the confidence to devise a regulatory strategy for your CGT product.

 

With the Educo Post Learning Implementation Plan (PLIP) you will have the framework to apply and implement the knowledge acquired in the training, supporting you in your development. Learn more about how we deliver both online and classroom training courses. If you have any concerns about COVID-19 before registering on to the course, please read our COVID-19 commitment.
