(FDA: Silver Spring, MD) -- The field of regenerative medicine encompasses a wide scope of innovative products including cell therapies, therapeutic tissue engineering products, human cell and tissue products, and certain combination products using such therapies. Examples include genetically-modified cellular therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) T-cells and human tissues grown on scaffolds for subsequent use. These products hold great promise in addressing serious unmet medical needs. For example, data from a number of different published studies indicate the potential for CAR-T cells to treat certain relapsed or refractory blood cancers.
