Overview ATMP literature

On this page, you find our growing collection of articles, publications and other information material concerning ATMP (advanced therapy medicinal products) or TEMP (tissue engineered medicinal products) development, tests, validation and use.

Some summary articles (partyl in German) are these:

EU Directives and Regulations

Here we have listed links to English or German versions of regulations, directives guidelines etc. concerning MP (medicinal products), vMP (veterinary medicinal products), ATMP (advanced therapy medicinal products), blood, EMA (european medicines agency = EMEA), GCP (good clinical practise), Tisuue, GMP (good manufacturing practise), MD (medical devices). Directives are guiding documents that have to be implemented by national laws in the EU member states. Due to these national implementations, national "flavours" in the specifications are possible. It is therefore, always recommended to read national laws and the respective europpean directives to avoid misinterpretation, e.g. when trying to grasp "industrially prepared". Regulations on the other hand are directly binding european "laws" that do not require further national implementation.Further links to authorities and commitees are listed on our authorities links page.

Hygiene monitoring in ATMP production Labs

The monitoring of hygiene or particle load in ATMP (advanced therapeutic medicinal products) producing labs is ofter underestimated. Contamination is a critical factor in such labs as shown in the following publications:

Environmental monitoring in stem cell banks.

ATMP in clinical trials

ATMPs and TEMPs carry a huge potential for modern medicine. More and more clinical trials are started now.
