ARM is the sector’s lead advocate for clear, predictable, and harmonized regulatory and review pathways for regenerative medicine and advanced therapy products in the U.S. and Europe.

Clear and predictable approval process regulation ensures product developers are able to understand the data and other requirements needed for approval and navigate the regulatory process without unnecessary delays or uncertainty.

And internationally harmonized regulation—the creation of globally consistent regulatory policies—facilitates the rapid and efficient development and introduction of regenerative medicine products across multiple markets worldwide, to the benefit of both manufacturers and patients.
