Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research

The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)/Office of Cellular, Tissue, and Gene Therapies (OCTGT) is issuing this guidance to assist sponsors and investigators in designing early-phase clinical trials for cellular therapy (CT) and gene therapy (GT) products. CT and GT products will be referred to collectively as CGT products. This guidance provides OCTGT’s current recommendations regarding clinical trials in which the primary objectives are the initial assessments of safety, tolerability, or feasibility of administration of investigational products. Such trials include most Phase 1 trials, including the initial introduction of an investigational new drug into humans, and some Phase 2 trials of CGT products.
