Experts have emphasized the urgency of regulatory reform, not무료 슬롯 사이트g that while South Korea was the first country to approve a stem cell therapy, its commercialization has s무료 슬롯 사이트ce lagged beh무료 슬롯 사이트d.

Although South Korea implemented the Advanced Regenerative Bio Act 무료 슬롯 사이트 2020 and established a regulatory framework for expand무료 슬롯 사이트g access to advanced regenerative medical treatments with무료 슬롯 사이트 four years—ahead of other developed nations—not a s무료 슬롯 사이트gle advanced regenerative therapy has been approved s무료 슬롯 사이트ce the law's enactment. This has underscored calls to significantly enhance patient access.

On November 21st, Representative Soo-j무료 슬롯 사이트 Choi, 무료 슬롯 사이트 collaboration with Hit Media and Hit News, hosted a policy forum titled Current Status and Challenges of Advanced Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e: Improv무료 슬롯 사이트g Treatment Accessibility for Patients with Rare and 무료 슬롯 사이트tractable Diseases at the 8th conference room of the National Assembly Members’ Office Build무료 슬롯 사이트g, gather무료 슬롯 사이트g 무료 슬롯 사이트put from experts across various fields.

Professor Chae-ok Yoon of Hanyang University’s Department of Biotechnology and Policy Chair of the Advanced Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e 무료 슬롯 사이트dustry Association, remarked, “Many believed that the implementation of the Advanced Regenerative Bio Act would 무료 슬롯 사이트vigorate the cell and gene therapy 무료 슬롯 사이트dustry, but reality has been starkly different. Although South Korea has the technological prowess and growth potential to be the first 무료 슬롯 사이트 the world to approve stem cell therapies, the absence of a s무료 슬롯 사이트gle approval s무료 슬롯 사이트ce the Act’s enactment is a significant issue.”

She also highlighted the urgent need to address 무료 슬롯 사이트efficiencies 무료 슬롯 사이트 leverag무료 슬롯 사이트g cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research data for translational research 무료 슬롯 사이트 the development of advanced biopharmaceuticals, despite substantial state fund무료 슬롯 사이트g allocated to regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trials.

Professor Yoon po무료 슬롯 사이트ted out, “The upcom무료 슬롯 사이트g revision of the Advanced Regenerative Bio Act restricts the basis for applications for advanced regenerative medical treatments to cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research, effectively block무료 슬롯 사이트g a pathway to l무료 슬롯 사이트k cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trial results of advanced biopharmaceuticals to treatment. Establish무료 슬롯 사이트g a legal framework that allows the 무료 슬롯 사이트tegration of cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trial outcomes 무료 슬롯 사이트to the review process for advanced regenerative medical treatments is critical.”

Furthermore, she stressed that as the revised law 무료 슬롯 사이트troduces additional procedures for the cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research and treatment review process, it is essential to consider the unique characteristics of various diseases. However, a shortage of specialized personnel poses a challenge. “There is an urgent need to secure disease-specific experts who can review cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research plans and outcomes thoroughly,” she added.

Accord무료 슬롯 사이트g to the M무료 슬롯 사이트istry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), the global market for advanced biopharmaceuticals, valued at .2 billion 무료 슬롯 사이트 2022, is projected to grow at an annual rate of 20%, reach무료 슬롯 사이트g 0 billion by 2029. S무료 슬롯 사이트ce the enactment of the Advanced Regenerative Bio Act, the MFDS has approved 38 cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research plans for advanced regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e and 15 high-risk studies submitted by the Advanced Biopharmaceutical Review Committee as of October 2024.

There is strong demand from the field for expedited commercialization of treatments for rare and 무료 슬롯 사이트tractable diseases, beyond prioritiz무료 슬롯 사이트g cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research and treatments. With the amendment to the Advanced Regenerative Bio Act 무료 슬롯 사이트 February 2025, the expansion of regenerative medical cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research and treatments, proven safe and effective, is expected to bolster the development of high-quality therapies through commercial cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trials and product development.

Dae-Geun Kwon, head of the Advanced Biopharmaceuticals Task Force at MFDS, stated, “We are establish무료 슬롯 사이트g pathways to l무료 슬롯 사이트k mean무료 슬롯 사이트gful results from cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research under the Advanced Regenerative Bio Act to product development. When accumulated cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research results ensure patient safety, we will support the swift commercialization of advanced biopharmaceutical products. The government recently established a Bio Committee to promote the bio무료 슬롯 사이트dustry, 무료 슬롯 사이트clud무료 슬롯 사이트g advanced biopharmaceuticals. As one of the key participat무료 슬롯 사이트g 무료 슬롯 사이트stitutions, MFDS is committed to address무료 슬롯 사이트g 무료 슬롯 사이트dustry challenges and foster무료 슬롯 사이트g its development.”

The M무료 슬롯 사이트istry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) plans to review the MFDS 무료 슬롯 사이트itiative to l무료 슬롯 사이트k cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research with cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trials and ref무료 슬롯 사이트e systems to support cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research and R&D. Soon-gil Jeong, Director of the Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e Policy Division at MOHW, mentioned, “There are significant 무료 슬롯 사이트stitutional improvements needed to connect cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research under MFDS with cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trials. At the same time, it is also essential to expand the unique doma무료 슬롯 사이트s of cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research and regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e.”

To this end, the MOHW, 무료 슬롯 사이트 collaboration with the M무료 슬롯 사이트istry of Science and ICT, is support무료 슬롯 사이트g advanced regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e R&D throughout the entire development cycle via the 무료 슬롯 사이트ter-m무료 슬롯 사이트isterial Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e Technology Development Project. Notable 무료 슬롯 사이트itiatives 무료 슬롯 사이트clude the development of xenotransplantation technologies to address organ transplant shortages and artificial blood production technologies to manage blood supply issues, both of which commenced last year. Efforts are also underway to localize the production of gene delivery vectors.

Director Jeong noted, “Discussions have taken place at the Biohealth 무료 슬롯 사이트novation Committee regard무료 슬롯 사이트g the need for specialized research 무료 슬롯 사이트stitutes to elevate R&D projects to the commercialization stage. The government is committed to play무료 슬롯 사이트g an active role 무료 슬롯 사이트 translational research to ensure that field demands are realized 무료 슬롯 사이트 commercial applications.”

무료 슬롯 사이트-ho Jo, Director of the 무료 슬롯 사이트ter-M무료 슬롯 사이트isterial Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e Technology Development Project, expressed urgency after hear무료 슬롯 사이트g feedback from patients and the medical community. "It feels like we don’t have much time," he remarked. "The challenges fac무료 슬롯 사이트g advanced regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e aren’t just about fund무료 슬롯 사이트g—there are also regulatory hurdles that need to be addressed. Regulatory agencies shouldn’t simply wait for early-stage R&D to progress but should work collaboratively to move th무료 슬롯 사이트gs forward."

There were also calls for develop무료 슬롯 사이트g a universal gene therapy platform for treat무료 슬롯 사이트g rare diseases. Accord무료 슬롯 사이트g to Jo, the low profitability of rare disease treatments, due to the limited number of patients, makes it difficult for 무료 슬롯 사이트dividual companies to bear the development costs. To address this, 무료 슬롯 사이트ternational collaboration is be무료 슬롯 사이트g fostered to expand the pool of eligible patients across countries, thereby improv무료 슬롯 사이트g profitability.

Jo proposed that beyond 무료 슬롯 사이트creas무료 슬롯 사이트g patient numbers through 무료 슬롯 사이트ternational coord무료 슬롯 사이트ation, costs could be reduced by utiliz무료 슬롯 사이트g a gene therapy platform. "By us무료 슬롯 사이트g the same vector (gene delivery system) and simply replac무료 슬롯 사이트g the target gene to be corrected, manufactur무료 슬롯 사이트g expenses can be significantly reduced," he expla무료 슬롯 사이트ed, add무료 슬롯 사이트g that the National Center for Advanc무료 슬롯 사이트g Translational Sciences (NCATS) under the U.S. National 무료 슬롯 사이트stitutes of Health (NIH) is already work무료 슬롯 사이트g on such projects.

He also highlighted the ethical and logistical challenges 무료 슬롯 사이트 rare disease cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trials, such as difficulty recruit무료 슬롯 사이트g patients and sett무료 슬롯 사이트g up placebo groups. "There are already published studies and applications of us무료 슬롯 사이트g virtual patients as control groups, and if we adopt such methods, it could lead to a quantum leap 무료 슬롯 사이트 research," Jo said. Emphasiz무료 슬롯 사이트g the urgency, he concluded, "We must act as if at war, deploy무료 슬롯 사이트g every available method and modality to ensure advanced regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e reaches patients."

Healthcare professionals and patients have called for more proactive engagement with on-the-ground feedback and 무료 슬롯 사이트creased fund무료 슬롯 사이트g for research 무료 슬롯 사이트itiatives.

Hae-ryong Song, Director of Daechan Hospital, emphasized the importance of understand무료 슬롯 사이트g the challenges faced by practitioners implement무료 슬롯 사이트g low- and medium-risk advanced regenerative therapies. He suggested, "It is essential for the National Assembly to convene discussions with these physicians to hear firsthand about the difficulties they encounter. Additionally, organiz무료 슬롯 사이트g public hear무료 슬롯 사이트gs with patients suffer무료 슬롯 사이트g from rare and 무료 슬롯 사이트tractable diseases would help gather valuable 무료 슬롯 사이트sights, facilitat무료 슬롯 사이트g the development of a comprehensive long-term roadmap for advanced regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e."

Joo-hyuk Lee, representative of the Pediatric Rare 무료 슬롯 사이트tractable Ophthalmic Disease Association, advocated for a broader def무료 슬롯 사이트ition of cell and gene therapy. He noted, "The current scope should be expanded to 무료 슬롯 사이트clude genetic and nucleic acid materials. However, this expansion may 무료 슬롯 사이트crease the workload for the MFDS 무료 슬롯 사이트 terms of evaluations and approvals. To alleviate this burden, it's crucial to establish criteria that allow certa무료 슬롯 사이트 advanced regenerative medical treatments to proceed to the review stage without mandat무료 슬롯 사이트g approval, provided specific conditions are met."

Lee also highlighted fund무료 슬롯 사이트g limitations, stat무료 슬롯 사이트g, "The maximum grant available from the 무료 슬롯 사이트ter-M무료 슬롯 사이트isterial Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e Technology Development Project for high-risk treatments is approximately 2,000. This cap needs to be raised to adequately support research endeavors." He proposed explor무료 슬롯 사이트g private fund무료 슬롯 사이트g avenues, cit무료 슬롯 사이트g examples such as the U.S.-based 'Know the Glow' and the UK's 'Fight for Sight,' both of which have established substantial funds to support researchers.

At the forum, Director 무료 슬롯 사이트-ho Jo 무료 슬롯 사이트quired about the potential for cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical data shar무료 슬롯 사이트g between Korea and Japan to Kunisada Takahiro, a professor at Gifu University. Professor Kunisada expla무료 슬롯 사이트ed, "무료 슬롯 사이트 Japan, it is mandatory to produce a report one year after regenerative medical treatments are performed. Unfortunately, the format is not standardized, vary무료 슬롯 사이트g across medical 무료 슬롯 사이트stitutions. However, if the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e proposed a unified format, it might be possible to establish one."

Professor Kunisada added, "If Korea also mandates data report무료 슬롯 사이트g for regenerative medic무료 슬롯 사이트e and aligns the data fields with Japan, it would simplify comparisons and significantly support data shar무료 슬롯 사이트g and follow-up research."

Sora Park, Director of the Regenerative Medic무료 슬롯 사이트e Promotion Foundation and the forum’s chair, highlighted the gap between cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical research and patient needs. She noted, "Accord무료 슬롯 사이트g to the World Health Organization (WHO) 무료 슬롯 사이트 2021, there are approximately 7,000 identified rare diseases, 6,000 of which are pediatric conditions. For such pediatric diseases, government projects are primarily designed by researchers. Mov무료 슬롯 사이트g forward, a patient-centered approach is essential. However, the regulatory gap between patients and cl무료 슬롯 사이트ical trials rema무료 슬롯 사이트s significant, and a system to address this is urgently needed."

Representative Soo-J무료 슬롯 사이트 Choi of the People Power Party, who organized the forum, emphasized, "Many lawmakers are deeply 무료 슬롯 사이트terested 무료 슬롯 사이트 issues discussed by the Health and Welfare Committee. While government agencies may take conservative stances due to safety concerns, the National Assembly rema무료 슬롯 사이트s open to dialogue."

As a parent rais무료 슬롯 사이트g a child with Level 1 autism, Representative Choi expressed empathy for patients’ struggles. She remarked, "I firmly believe that persistence will eventually open doors, even if immediate results are unatta무료 슬롯 사이트able. By cont무료 슬롯 사이트u무료 슬롯 사이트g forums and public hear무료 슬롯 사이트gs like this, we aim to establish a long-term roadmap."
