The EU Pharmaceutical Strategy recognizes cell and gene therapies as ‘major milestones’ of progress in healthcare, which can durably treat or even cure the most challenging diseases. We are reviewing today’s strategy document in detail and believe that innovative regulatory and payment policies are crucial to ensuring patient access to these transformative therapies. We look forward to engaging with the European Commission and other stakeholders to develop a conducive, holistic environment for advanced therapies and the life-changing benefits they bring to patients.

Cell, gene, and tissue-based therapies are the future of medicine, with the potential to durably treat or even cure the most challenging diseases. The administration’s ‘Most Favored Nation’ Interim Final Rule could threaten innovation in regenerative medicine. If the administration is concerned about clinical outcomes and high expenditures, policymakers should embrace innovative payment models, including outcomes-based agreements that reward scientific investment when therapies work and patients’ conditions improve.
