ABSTRACT
The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) is the agency responsible for the registration of pharmaceutical, natural, and health supplement products and notification of cosmetic products that are marketed in Malaysia. The implementation of regulatory oversight of the different types of product was in a progressive manner, with the latest addition to be regulated being the cell and gene therapy products (CGTPs), beginning January 1, 2021. CGTP can be classified as low risk (that does not require registration) or high risk (that needs to be registered). Generally, the regulation of high-risk CGTP is similar to other biological products. This chapter describes the chronology of the CGTP framework, classification of CGTP, how CGTPs fit into the current registration pathways and registration procedure, dossier requirements, and what is the current status and future direction of CGTP in Malaysia.
