AI Article Synopsis

  • Medicinal products with genetically modified cells are primarily categorized as gene therapy and cell therapy medicinal products.
  • No such products have been approved for use in Europe yet, but various clinical trials are underway targeting both inherited and acquired diseases.
  • The chapter highlights innovative strategies focusing on gene therapy for immunodeficiencies and tumor immunotherapy using genetically modified T-cells.

Article Abstract

Medicinal products containing genetically modified cells are, in most cases, classified as gene therapy and cell therapy medicinal products. Although no medicinal product containing genetically modified cells has been licensed in Europe yet, a variety of therapeutic strategies using genetically modified cells are in different stages of clinical development for the treatment of acquired and inherited diseases. In this chapter, several examples of promising approaches are presented, with an emphasis on gene therapy for inherited immunodeficiencies and on tumour immunotherapy with genetically modified T-cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor or a recombinant T-cell receptor.
