    WEBINAR DESCRIPTION: While an increasing number of regulatory approvals in the Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) field has fueled optimism for potential treatments and cures for debilitating and fatal conditions, constant challenges to US FDA oversight – by courts, federal and state legislatures, and rogue “stem cell clinics” - pose serious risks for individual patients and for the entire industry. This webinar begins with an overview of the U.S. legal landscape governing development and therapeutic usage of stem cell and gene therapies, including several recent, highly-consequential court rulings impacting the FDA and other federal agencies. The webinar then addresses recent state developments that have attracted little public attention, including new iterations of “Right-To-Try” and “Medical Freedom” laws, and their legal and practical impact on experimental stem cell and gene therapies. After exploring the wide-spread availability of unproven stem cell and regenerative interventions currently being offered by stem cell clinics and in other unregulated settings, the webinar will highlight existing risks for individual patients and the entire CGT sector, and ways these may be further exacerbated in the near future. The area of unproven stem cell and regenerative medicine clinics will be discussed in more depth as an exemplar of complex legal, policy and ethical challenges to federal and state regulators. The webinar will conclude with an interactive panel discussion and an open Q&A for attendees to raise issues and contribute to the discussion.

    Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by the deficiency or absence of clotting factors VIII (Hemophilia A) or IX (Hemophilia B). This lack of clotting factors leads to uncontrolled bleeding, which can result in severe health issues, particularly in the joints and brain. Despite significant advances in preventing bleeding episodes and managing the disease through prophylaxis and non-factor products, several needs remain unmet. One critical issue is the lack of a cure for the disease. This challenge is being strategically addressed through the development of innovative cell and gene therapies. The objective of this webinar, led by two eminent researchers, Dr. Edward Tuddenham (UK) and Dr. Blair Gage (Canada), is to discuss the latest advances and challenges associated with the use use of both therapies in treating Hemophilia A and B. Their goal is to achieve a durable reduction in both bleeding risks and the need for exogenous factor administrations.

Since then, he led the stem cell group and coordinated the cell culture technology platform of the laboratory of pediatric hepatology and cell therapy. Thanks to an accumulated know-how and significant knowledge of human liver cells’ biology as well as the strategies to isolate them, his research activity led to the discovery of a population of liver mesenchymal progenitor cells. Those cells were the subject of more than 40 international publications, more than 200 citations and the attribution of 7 related patents. Mustapha NAJIMI has actively been/is involved in i) the design and supervision of the large-scale production of the first batches of these progenitor cells, that have been infused to patients with liver diseases at Saint-Luc hospital- Brussels, ii) the technology transfer of this cell therapy product to a spinoff company, iii) the supervision of R&D activities related to those cells with an industrial vision. Thanks to an active network of international collaborations, he continues conducting his research investigations with the major objectives of better understanding the mechanisms governing liver regeneration and improving the use of cell therapy for liver defects.

    Blair Gage, PhD

    Scientist, Assistant Professor

    Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, University of Ottawa

    hPSC-derived Liver Endothelium: A potential Cell Therapy for Hemophilia A

    Blair K. Gage (PhD) is a Scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in the Regenerative Medicine Program and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Ottawa. After a BSc in Biotechnology from UBC and BCIT, he completed a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology exploring how transcription factors regulated pancreatic endocrine subtype specification from human pluripotent stem cells. His postdoctoral work shifted to generate organ-specific endothelial cells of the liver from human pluripotent stem cells to create potential cell-based and cell-informed therapeutics for liver disease and Hemophilia A. Dr. Gage started his lab in December 2023 and focuses on understanding how endothelial cells gain and maintain organ specific functions to build new therapies for human liver diseases where these functions are lost. The Gage lab’s primary research model is human pluripotent stem cells which are differentiated to become endothelial cells that can be transplanted in mice where they durably engraft and become functional. This research model and approach has potential therapeutic value as delivery of stem cell-derived endothelial cells to mouse models of Hemophilia A resulted in correction of the severe bleeding disorder by sustained production of bioactive coagulation factors. Building on this cell-based therapy leverages many computational, genetic, and molecular approaches to identify and apply new therapies aimed at controlling endothelial function to fight disease.

    Prof. Edward Tuddenham

    Emeritus Professor of Haemophilia

    University College London

    Gene therapy for haemophilia B widely adopted but problems remain for haemophilia A

    Professor Edward (Ted) Tuddenham's journey into haemophilia began in 1969 at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Liverpool, where he treated haemophilic patients. His interest deepened in Cardiff under Arthur Bloom, where he investigated the relationship between Von Willebrand Disease and Haemophilia A. Tuddenham dedicated seven years to purifying factor VIII, first at the University of Connecticut and then at the Royal Free Hospital Haemophilia Centre. His work led to the complete purification of factor VIII, enabling its amino acid sequencing and the cloning of its gene. These breakthroughs facilitated accurate carrier testing, antenatal diagnosis, and the discovery of mutations causing haemophilia A.

    In 1987, Tuddenham established the Haemostasis Research Group for the Medical Research Council, focusing on rare bleeding disorders. In 2006, he returned to the Royal Free Hospital to pursue gene therapy for haemophilia. His team demonstrated the safety and efficacy of gene therapy for haemophilia B, using a vector that allowed high levels of factor IX expression. This resulted in most patients discontinuing replacement therapy and remaining free of spontaneous bleeding for up to 13 years. This vector was later modified by Uniqure, leading to the marketing approval of Hemgenix in 2023.

    Collaborating with Amit Nathwani's laboratory, Tuddenham also helped develop a vector for transferring the factor VIII gene to treat Haemophilia A, culminating in market approval in the EU in 2022. He continues his work on gene therapy trials for haemophilia and other rare bleeding disorders, with 350 publications, an H-index of 74, and over 21,000 citations.

    The course comprised ten modules for approximately 10 hours of learning. Each module consists of a training video and a knowledge check (quiz). The last module of the course is the final examination consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions.  

    Learners have one attempt to complete and pass the final examination in order to obtain the certificate. 

    Any learner who failed the final examination may pay $250 to retake the course and examination once more.
    Please note that the re-examination fee must be paid within 30 days of the failed exam date.
