Biology:Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product

Short description: Therapeutic drugs based on cell therapy or gene therapy

Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products, or ATMPs, are advanced therapeutic drugs that are based on cell therapy or gene therapy (sometimes in combination with a medical device - where they are then called a tissue engineered product). The criteria to which a drug must conform to be classified as an ATMP, are defined in Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007 by the European Commission.
