AdvantagesDisadvantages
ATMPs: advanced therapy medicinal products.
Highly personalized therapyComplex manufacturing
Direct application through infusionHigh up-front cost
Longer lasting effectOne-time treatment
Address complex diseasesSpecific regulatory and pharmacovigilance demands
Improving health-related quality of lifeHighly specific storage requirements: short shelf life
Fewer hospitalizations, comorbidities and associate treatment
