Nuances of EU regulations

What constitutes a GMO can vary from country to country

In the EU regulatory landscape there are two different risk classifications for GMOs-contained use (Directive 2009/31/ EC) and deliberate release (Directive 2001/18/ EC)-which may impact the development of cell therapy products.

  • Contained use is defined as any activity with GMOs for which specific containment measures are used to limit their contact with the environment.1
  • Deliberate release refers to any intentional introduction into the environment of a GMO or a combination of GMOs for which no specific containment measures are used to limit their contact with, and to provide a high level of safety for, the general population and the environment.2

Sponsors must decide which category the cell therapy falls under and make justification for that decision, keeping in mind that in some EU member states any GMO is considered deliberate release by default, even in the context of a clinical trial.
