Strategy paper on innovative early and late clinical trial design and regulatory rules for Advanced Therapies

Strategy paper on innovative early and late clinical trial design and regulatory rules for Advanced Therapies - Pivotal Clinical Trials – Assess current systems for traceability and tracking of ATMPs. Deliver a plan of projects to develop a system that is compatible with current regulations and which will be suitable for applying across Europe - A review will be performed of current reported methodological issues and invalid trial designs (including challenges of patient numbers [e.g. orphan diseases] and nonrandomized trial de-signs without a comparator), inappropriate clinical outcomes and benefit risk assessments - Develop an expert working group to that will assess review and develop proposals for projects that will deliver best practice in late phase clinical trial design this will include clinical consider-ations for the co-development of companion diagnostics - Develop a plan to work with regulators and other stakeholders to ensure a regulatory regime that enables safe and effective ATMP medicines to be trialed and licensed more rapidly and with a level of global compatibility, enabling Europe to be a leading player in clinical delivery
