Description

Cell and gene therapies promise cures that pills cannot offer, yet Europe's rules often slow them to a crawl. Johan Van Eldere and co-authors, experts from a European university hospitals alliance, lay out a roadmap for change. Advanced therapy medicinal products face regulatory hurdles that bite hardest in academic centers and rare diseases. Meanwhile the United States and China move faster in an increasingly competitive field.

The authors call for new regulatory mechanisms and incentives, built through dialogue with European authorities. Their proposals span faster pathways, better coordination, and fairer access for patients. Support would be needed at regional, national, and European levels. The goal is concrete: academic teams should be able to carry a promising therapy from bench to bedside without the system itself becoming the disease.
