Gene Therapy Advisory Committee (GTAC)

The Gene Therapy Advisory Committee (GTAC) has UK-wide responsibility for the ethical oversight of proposals to conduct clinical trials involving gene or stem cell therapies. The Committee also advises Ministers on the development and use of gene and stem cell therapies and works with other Government agencies with an interest in this area, such as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Human Tissue Authority (HTA).

What’s New?

12 March 2009

The first version of an 'Interim UK Regulatory Route Map for Stem Cell Research & Manufacture' has been released jointly by UK regulators as a reference tool for those who wish to develop a programme of stem cell research and manufacture, ultimately leading to clinical application. The map has been developed by the Department of Health with the support of the Gene Therapy Advisory Committee, Health & Safety Executive, Home Office, Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority, Human Tissue Authority, Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, Medical Research Council, NHS Blood & Transplant Authority, Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service, Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues & Organs, & the UK Stem Cell Bank.

Feedback on this map can be sent to: gtac@dh.gsi.gov.uk. A more detailed, user-friendly, web-based version is currently being
developed and will be available by the end of 2009.
