Approved cell and gene therapy (CGT) products
The FDA’s drug approval process is designed to ensure that drugs are safe and effective for their intended use before they are made available to the public. Within the FDA, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) reviews and regulates cellular therapy products, human gene therapy products, and certain devices related to cell and gene therapy. CBER uses both the Public Health Service Act and the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act as enabling statutes for oversight. There are currently 11 gene and cell therapy products available in the US approved for treatment of 16 indications. The table below presents cell therapies as red; gene therapies as blue.
