Although the regulatory environment for adipose adult mesenchymal stem cells is still in a phase of “ripeness”, some general guidelines for clinicians have finally come into focus. For example, following the recent US District Court ruling of Regenexx vs. the FDA, it is clear that any cell culture for immediate autologous use is considered beyond the scope of minimal manipulation. Furthermore, formal inquiries to the FDA that have come into the public domain indicate some forms of cell assisted lipotransfer (CAL) may also be deemed beyond minimal manipulation. Still questions remain. What is allowable and what is considered safe and within standard of care and how can a practitioner continue to operate given the recent regulatory climate? A suggested best practice method will be presented during this lecture to help clinicians negotiate a safe, legal and ethical pathway for practice within the United States. A detailed discussion of 21 CFR 1271 and potential scientific remedies to address safety, efficacy and minimal manipulation documentation will also be provided.
