Bedside manufacturing as the next step in personalized medicine: medical progress and legal challenges

Résumé fourni par la source

Bedside manufacturing is having a revival in healthcare, with a promise to revolutionize personalized medicine through on-site drug production. While this concept holds considerable promise, it also encounters a complex web of legal uncertainties. The current regulatory framework in Switzerland and the EU, which includes the Swiss Therapeutic Products Act and the EU directives, regulations, and guidelines, fails to adequately address its distinct challenges. Rising new technologies underscore the urgent need for regulatory reform. These technologies highlight the pressing demand for comprehensive legal frameworks that can reconcile the rapid pace of innovation with the imperatives of patient safety and product efficacy. Legal concerns extend beyond mere compliance; they encapsulate quality assurance, and liability in cases of human error. This study outlines the call for a recalibrated legal landscape that prioritizes patient-centered care while fostering the growth of bedside manufacturing. It is crucial for the legal system to evolve in tandem with these medical advancements, ensuring a secure, efficacious, and equitable integration of bedside manufacturing into healthcare.
