This document summarizes FDA regulations for gene therapy, cell therapy, and stem cell products. It discusses: 1) How these "new biologics" are regulated under different FDA centers and parts depending on their characteristics and risks. Products are either regulated solely under section 361 of the PHS Act or under both 361 and 351. 2) Key aspects of the new 21 CFR Part 1271 regulations including establishment registration and listing, donor eligibility, good tissue practice standards, and inspection authorities. 3) Issues related to specific cell therapies like stem cells, gene therapy vectors, and manufacturing challenges. The paradigm of regional manufacturing facilities for patient-specific products is presented as an optimal model.
