Like any new drug, gene and cell therapeutics must undergo both safety studies and a product development phase before they can be used in humans for the first time. The preclinical safety studies include various in-vitro and in-vivo animal studies to assess potential risks such as toxicity, carcinogenicity, immunogenicity etc. as well as the fate in an organism and a possible dose to ensure patient safety. In the product development phase, the reproducibility of defined specifications of the clinical product is ensured by establishing a sufficient understanding of materials and processes. Both the preclinical safety studies and the product development program result from the product-specific risk assessment and the results obtained during the studies.
