Speakers will discuss FDA’s comprehensive regenerative medicine policy framework, the regulation of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) under Public Health Service Act Sections 351 and 361, how FDA’s regulation of regenerative medicine therapies interacts with the practice of medicine, and the impact the end of FDA’s pending enforcement discretion period for certain HCT/Ps in November 2020 will have on companies.
