Lessons learned from RMAT submission, denial and successful resubmission
A successful strategy for obtaining the US FDA’s Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation requires a strong understanding of the FDA/CBER defined designation criteria and potential pitfalls. Equally important to the RMAT strategy is understanding how/if/when regulatory flexibility applies, including GMP challenges to overcome and understanding of the effect of potential government agency interactions. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the possible outcomes from RMAT designation requests, be better positioned to determine if a clinical indication is ready for request of RMAT designation, understand how they can use RMAT designation to expedite clinical development, and explore additional avenues for product development.
