Beginning this week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) ended its compliance and enforcement discretion policy with regard to certain human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”). HCT/P manufacturers without an FDA-approved marketing application may find themselves subject to FDA scrutiny under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FD&C Act”) and the Public Health Service Act (“PHS Act”). Firms will have to think hard about whether to submit investigational new drug applications (“INDs”) or marketing applications, wind down production, or risk running afoul of applicable laws and regulations governing unapproved biological products. They should also be mindful of how data collected to date can help to inform next steps.
