  • 1.  Grade A clean room for Cell & Gene therapy

    Posted 02-Dec-2020 09:39

    Dear All,

    Can a BSC, bio safety cabinet, in Grade B room be used for GMP production of cell & gene therapy, which requires Grade A clean room?

    Thanks,
    Sung

    Hi Sung,

    Why do you ask the obvious question?

    Normally it is not a good idea to deviate from your GMP requirement for room classification but I like to hear more the reason to ask?

    Thanks.

    I don’t think that’s even acceptable per regulatory standards. Even more so for autologus cell therapy products, when finished product sterility results won’t be available at the time of patient infusion of genetically modified cells.
