FDA CVM Public Webinar on the Development of ACTPs
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) posted an informational, pre-recorded webinar entitled “CVM Draft Guidance for Industry Documents #253 and 254: Good Manufacturing Practices and Donor Eligibility for Animal Cells, Tissues, and Cell- and Tissue-Based Products (ACTPs).” (Note that this webinar was recorded prior to finalization of GFIs #253 and #254 but the information contained in it remains consistent with the final guidances.)
In 2022, CVM issued two draft guidance documents on good manufacturing practice and donor eligibility for ACTPs. The webinar provides information and examples on current good manufacturing practice related to preserving cellular function and integrity, ensuring consistency of the process and product, preventing contamination, selecting appropriate donors and preventing transmission of disease.
There are three parts to this webinar:
Part 1: Introduction
Part 2: Draft guidance #253 Good Manufacturing Practices for ACTPs
Part 3: Draft guidance #254 Donor Eligibility for ACTPs
