This course envisages to offer insight to the Pharmacy student into the newest class of drugs, the “advanced therapy medicinal products” (ATMP). Various aspects of these drugs will be discussed in this course. The course begins with a general introduction in which the concept ATMP will be introduced and this class of drugs will be defined and subsequently compared and contrasted with other types of drugs (especially with respect to biotechnological drugs). After this introduction, different classes of ATMP (somatic cell therapy, gene therapy, tissue engineering products and combined ATMP) will be discussed separately: definitions, historical framework, current examples and future perspectives will be discussed for each type. Subsequently, juridical, economic, regulatory and ethical aspects of ATMPs will be explained. Finally, the role of ATMP in a clinical (hospital pharmacist) and industrial environment (industry pharmacist) will be discussed. In addition to the courses by the responsible lecturer, a number of guest lecturers who are experts in their domain, will give guest lectures about specific topics.
In the practical courses, a deeper insight will be provided about topics introduced during the lectures. Independent acquisition of knowledge is central here. The principle of “flipping the classroom” is applied, whereby students thoroughly prepare themselves for class through self-study of well-described topics, where this knowledge is further deepened. This will happen through group discussions according to the Socratic method, where students are divided in smaller groups per topic. Within these groups, the topics are first discussed after which they are presented to the other groups, who then participate in the discussion according to their point of view. The lecturer does not have a steering role and does not actively engage in the discussion but rather leads it in the right direction by asking direct questions. At the end of the practical courses, each student writes a paper about the topic that was addressed where the critical insight of the student will be evaluated.
The student is expected to obtain at least 9/20 for all the course assignment categories (Oral, Practical course peer assessment and Practical course paper) in order to pass for the entire course. If the student obtains 8 or less on one of the three assignment categories, this will be the final of the exam. Participation in the Practical course is obligatory. Only justified absence will be tolerated.
