EuroGCT D4-1: Landscape mapping, report on mapping of European cell and gene therapy landscape at multiple levels
Résumé
Deliverable 4.1 is a report on the mapping of the European gene-based and cell therapies
landscape. This deliverable provides an update to the earlier deliverable, D.4.8 Initial
Landscape Mapping, which was submitted in the first reporting period. D4.8 reported the
mapping, performed by EuroGCT, of the European landscapes associated with gene and cell
therapy related product development pathways including ethical, legal, regulatory and societal
issues (ELSI). Related, D4.7 Information collation, also submitted in the first reporting
period, detailed our methodology for information collection and curation. The work reported
in D4.7 and D4.8 resulted in creation of a development framework for a practical tool entitled
“Development pathways for bringing gene and cell therapies from the lab to patients” with the short website name of “Research Pathways” (see D4.8). This tool was organised as a Web
tree, into which general information on the development pathways for bringing gene and cell
therapies from the lab to patients (hereafter the “Research Pathways Tree”) was organised.
The Research Pathways Tree also included the organised information (mapping/inventory of
information) of the practical steps required for cell and gene therapy development in Europe
as well as links on relevant and existing information and guidance.
The present report, D4.1, therefore moves beyond the initial mapping to focus on
implementation of these processes. This has required a combination of actions: Identification
of the detailed information required to populate the Research Pathways Tree was described
in D4.8; in this reporting period, we have: 1) created original EuroGCT resources around
development pathways for bringing gene and cell therapies from the lab to patients, the
Research Pathways Tree (see D4.8 Annex 1 for details), 2) co-developed resources through
collaboration, 3) selected and signposted to existing high quality resources (based on the
methodology detailed in D4.7), and 4) launched an updated ‘Research Pathways’ database
featuring improved navigability and information organisation. In the following sections, we
provide the details of each action we have taken, our thought processes and some challenges
we have come across.
The outputs are published on the EuroGCT website in the Research Pathways section
(www.eurogct.org/research-pathways) as a searchable and filterable database and will
continually be updated throughout the course of the project. (See also: D4.2).
