Day 2
2nd CELL & GENE THERAPY WORLD CONGRESS 2024 EUROPE
"Driving Innovation, Addressing Significant Unmet Medical Needs, and Ultimately Improving Patient Outcomes"
Day 2 - Friday 4th October 2024
COLLABORATION AND PATIENT ACCESS
- The importance of stakeholder engagement: perspectives across different functions
- Creating a CGT platform: stakeholder engagement as a tool to support not only the development/commercialization of specific assets, but to build a sustainable platform
- How national level activities can impact on patient access to ATMPs
- Further national level collaboration between academic, clinical and industrial players is necessary to overcome the existing hindrances and boost further development of ATMPs in Europe.
Panellist:
Dr. Alexander Natz, Secretary General, EUCOPE
- Cell based therapeutics are promising tools revolutionizing the treatment protocols for severe diseases. Euopean countries are showing a likely dispersed pattern in terms of the regulation of market access regulations as well the pricing structures and compensation policies of insurances.
Marco Traub, CEO, The Trans European Stem Cell Therapy Society
- The significance of rationalizing clinical trials to reduce logistical and financial burdens for participants
- Leveraging technology to enhance access to treatment and specialist care
- Data-driven strategies to make informed decisions
- Patient-centred approach for better experience and outcomes
- Focusing on ensuring the equitable access to biologics and specifically RNA based drug products by everyone, everywhere.
Prof Harris Makatsoris, Professor of Manufacturing Systems, Department of Engineering, King’s College London
- Unique public-private partnership that has increased the access to new treatment options for patients
- Promote further innovation in clinical research using the strengths of the partnership
- Align potentially conflicting organizational cultures to maximize efficiencies and share project leadership
- Utilize a precision medicine master protocol to bring cutting-edge advances
- Allow for broader patient access and clinical trials that are more inclusive than standard industry-run trials
