Afundamental adjustment should be made to value assessment, by incorporating a wide range of factors (impact onwork, health status of caregivers and family members, etc., and overall social impact).Introduce a "low-value healthcare" category• Drugs and technologies whose clinical efficacy or social benefits fall below a certain standard should be classified as"low-value medicine," and alternative treatments should be proposed, as well as gradual reductions in scores andwithdrawal from insurance coverage.References: Institute for New Era Strategies "Recommendations of the Association for the Revival of Drug Discovery Innovation" (May 13, 2025)Copyright (C) 2025 The Japan Research Institute, Limited.

All Rights Reserved.18Note 1 : Summary of discussions regarding the use of private insuranceIn Japan, there are concerns about the sustainability of the public health insurance system given that medical expenses areincreasing every year. A proposal to control social insurance premiums by excluding some high-priced drugs from publicinsurance coverage and making use of private insurance is currently under consideration.• While the public health insurance system aims to realize the concept of universal health coverage, which would allow everyone to be shieldedfrom significant risk and receive the medical services they need without significant financial burden, excluding costly medicines from publicinsurance coverage may threaten this concept.• In addition, as medical technology advances, with diversified treatments and increased patient choice, limiting options for economic reasonsgoes against the concept of improving the quality of healthcare and access to it.Regenerative medical products and related technologies should continue to be treated as reimbursable under thepublic health insurance system• The government intends to expand the scope of uninsured combination therapies so that cutting-edge medical technologies for which efficacy evaluations are notsufficiently evaluated can be used without any delay until they are covered by insurance.• At present, knowledge of regenerative medicine as a medical treatment not covered by insurance (medical technology under the Safety Assurance Act) is notfully utilized in the ecosystem. In the future, it is necessary to reflect it in the research and development of next-generation treatments through active reversetranslational research. For example, we believe that (a) research plans and treatment plans for which evidence is obtained should be recognized as uninsuredcombination therapies such as advanced medical care and patient-requested medical treatment, (b) the public should participate in research plans and treatmentplans for which evidence is obtained, (c) the number of patients receiving treatment should be increased by reducing the burden on them, and (d) the quality ofresearch and treatment should be improved.• In addition, it is desirable to alleviate the personal burden of medical expenses associated with this through the development and utilization of private insurance.Copyright (C) 2025 The Japan Research Institute, Limited. All Rights Reserved.19Note 2 : Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation SystemThe “Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform 2025” (“Honebuto no Hoshin 2025”) 30 states:“Based on objective verification, further utilization of the cost-effectiveness evaluation system will be considered, includingappropriate evaluation methods, the scope of application, and the implementation structure, as well as its use in the drugpricing system and clinical practice.”This indicates a direction toward expanded application of the system in the future.Analyzing the European HTA landscape, 'cost-effectiveness evaluation,' or 'economic HTA,' is not applied to regenerativemedical products in key reference countries like Germany and France. The primary reason for this is that standard economicHTA lacks the flexibility to account for broader considerations, such as long-term economic and scientific values. Applyingstandard economic HTA could lead to significant drug lag and loss for regenerative medical products.• While economic HTA is not undertaken in countries like Germany and France, clinical HTA focuses on clinical value assessment, includingpatient-reported outcomes (PRO). However, regenerative medical products are highly complex, with challenges in blinding, randomization,endpoint selection, and choice of comparator, which results in uncertain evidence regarding their long-term value at the time of regulatorysubmission. Even clinical HTA has limitations in fully capturing the long-term, potentially lifetime, benefits of regenerative medical products.• However, for example, in Sweden, economic HTA is applied to with greater flexibility which helps regenerative medical products. Theyincorporate flexible thresholds for the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER), Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY), cost-benefit analysis,and budget impact to enable faster patient access to life-saving regenerative medical products. Sweden’s HTA system also systematicallyincludes ‘Indirect costs and benefits’, which supports their access as regenerative medical products have a positive impact on this domain ofHTA.Copyright (C) 2025 The Japan Research Institute, Limited. All Rights Reserved.20Note 3 : Price Stability and Manufacturing Incentives to Promote Innovation andInvestment in FranceIn France, a framework agreement between LEEM (The French Pharmaceutical Companies Association) and CEPS (TheEconomic Committee for Health Products) has established a system providing price stability and manufacturing incentives(currently under renegotiation). It incorporates incentives designed to promote domestic manufacturing, support exports, byensuring that prices for highly innovative medicines do not fall below those in other European countries.They include the following:• To promote domestic manufacturing of innovative medicines, for products rated ASMR 1–3 (indicating high added clinical value compared toexisting therapies), if all major manufacturing steps are conducted in France, the price must not be lower than the lowest price in either theUK, Germany, Italy, or Spain.• If current or future investments in manufacturing, R&D, or digital health related to the product are made within the EU—particularly inFrance—up to five years of price stability may be granted.• To encourage exports, products for which at least one significant manufacturing step is conducted in the EU (especially in France), batchrelease is performed in France, and more than 60% of production volume is exported, may be granted two years of price stability (renewableonce for up to two additional years).• For many innovative medicines rated ASMR 1–3, if the price is set by referencing other European countries and the health economicassessment is valid, net and list price stability is granted for the first five years after market launch (three years in other cases).In Japan, similar incentives may be necessary to promote the R&D and manufacturing of regenerative medicine and relatedproducts, and to support their development as an export industry. Specifically, ensuring that domestic prices do not fallbelow referenced European prices could be a key policy consideration.Copyright (C) 2025 The Japan Research Institute, Limited. All Rights Reserved.21Recommendation 1: Reform the pricing system and medical fee system to promote thespread of regenerative medical productsProduct pricingsystemMedical feesystemImprovement of the medical fee system to properly reflect medical costs• In addition to adequately covering the cost of the medical care required to provide regenerative medical products withincurrent medical fees, it is necessary to incorporate a mechanism that allows medical institutions to recoup their investment inequipment and human resources.Adequate reflection of the usability rating in the price• Regenerative medical products not only bring clinical value; they are also likely to make a positive impact on society byrehabilitating patients and reducing the burden of nursing care.• In order to facilitate the validation of long-term clinical and social value through reverse translational research, concreteresearch should be conducted into a system in which post-marketing efficacy and safety evaluations are sufficiently reflectedin prices.Revision of the application of the market expansion repricing• Economies of scale do not work for regenerative medical products, and it is impossible to reduce costs through massproduction. Current market expansion repricing are based on the assumption that economies of scale are applicable, and ifthese are applied, it will be difficult to continue ensuring patient access to the therapy.• In order to maintain an environment in which companies can sustainably supply innovative treatments, market expansionrepricing rules should be reviewed.The current health insurance system is hindering the development and operation of the current ecosystem in Japan.Academia, industry and the government should jointly establish a forum for discussions on the design of systems that take intoaccount the characteristics of regenerative medical products and other products.In order to make efficient use of limited medical resources, it is necessary to evaluate high-value medical technologiesand consider measures to reduce medical costs through appropriate use.Copyright (C) 2025 The Japan Research Institute, Limited. All Rights Reserved.22In order to develop an ecosystem of regenerative medical products, it is important to take a bird's-eye view to identifyissues, make improvements, and make further improvement to the next-generation technology cycle.Recommendation 2: Review Ecosystem Challenges and Continue with Policies that willEnhance Next-Generation CyclesStakeholderCollaborationReduce costsDevelopinfrastructure• The manufacturing, quality control and supply of regenerative medical products are still in the early stages ofcommercialization; these continue to be expensive to manufacture, but as technology advances, costs areexpected to fall, and more patients will be able to benefit from new therapeutic opportunities featuringregenerative medical products capable of treating a variety of diseases.• With the aim of achieving this, the government should promote the development of highly specialized humanresources and the necessary facilities; build a foundation for the upgrading of supply chains, construct a domesticecosystem, and establish a base for expansion across Asian countries.• Translational research is important for the efficient introduction of innovative technologies to the market.The government should support technology originating from universities and take measures to promotetechnology transfer to companies, including startups.• Data obtained from actual medical care will serve as a foundation for next-generation research, and patientparticipation will be an important factor, as will collaboration between treatment facilities, academia anddevelopment companies.• In order to provide regenerative medical products more smoothly, there is an urgent need to improve systemsand networks to effectively connect treatment providers and patient referral facilities. To ensure that patients inneed can receive treatment promptly and, when appropriate, we should promote clarification of clinical practiceguidelines and strengthen incentives for patient referrals.• In order to promote patient participation, it is essential to raise awareness and ensure access to treatment.Comprehensive and easy-to-understand guidance needs to be generated by creating a forum where patientgroups, academic societies, medical institutions, and pharmaceutical companies can collaborate to share anddiscuss the latest information on diseases and various treatment options, including immune cell therapy.Research& DevelopmentManufacturing& SupplyTreatmentCopyright (C) 2025 The Japan Research Institute, Limited.

Introduction: Purpose of the ProjectRegenerative medical products are products made by processing human or animal cells andtissues for the purpose of reconstructing, repairing and forming body parts, or treating diseases.These products have shown unprecedented treatment results and hold the potential torevolutionize approaches to diseases. In particular, one such regenerative medical product,CAR-T cell therapy, has been approved in Japan, the United States, and Europe as a treatmentaimed at achieving a cure with a single administration. It is an industrialized product that hasgarnered high expectations. CAR-T cell therapy has been put into practical use for treatingcancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, showing more significanttherapeutic effects than conventional treatments. Its application is now being considered fornew disease areas, such as immune and neurological disorders. In addition to the expectedclinical value of such therapies, there is anticipation of their social value in reducing medicalexpenses, including long-term hospitalization and care costs, and in supporting patients'resumption of social and economic activity.On the other hand, CAR-T cell therapy requires significant investment for research anddevelopment, the establishing of a manufacturing and supply system, and the setting up of amedical delivery system before it can be put into practical use. However, there is currently nopricing or reimbursement system that adequately compensates for the complex and advancedprocesses involved, making it difficult to foresee profits that could be reinvested into newresearch and development. Additionally, the number of countries and regions capable ofmanufacturing CAR-T cells is limited, and overall supply is constrained, raising concerns aboutpotential issues such as drug lag and drug loss from the perspective of supply prioritization bypharmaceutical companies.If the insights and profits gained from treatments cannot be reinvested into the next generationof research and development, the cycle of producing innovative therapies will not continue. Forthe regenerative medicine and related sectors to keep advancing, it is necessary to build anecosystem that allows more patients to benefit from innovative treatments and ensures asustainable and progressive cycle of development. For example, establishing an ecosystem forCAR-T cell therapy, which involves fully individualized production from the patient’s own cellsand has a complex development and manufacturing process, could position Japan to take on aleadership role internationally. Moreover, the establishment of such an ecosystem is expectedto invigorate the future regenerative medicine industry, bringing significant benefits to patientsand their families, to the pharmaceutical industry, and to society as a whole.2To aim for a future where patients with serious medical needs in Japan can continuously receiveinnovative treatments, it is essential to establish a sustainable ecosystem for regenerativemedical products. Additionally, to drive reform, various stakeholders need to come together toengage in discussions from a mid- to long-term perspective. This project aims to take a definitivestep forward in these discussions by having experts in medical economics, regenerative medicalproduct technology development, and clinical practice discuss the barriers to the practicalimplementation of regenerative medical products and the formation of a supporting ecosystem,while exploring solutions from multiple perspectives. Based on the results of these discussions,we plan to identify the issues that need to be addressed in Japan and propose solutions to these.This white paper is presented by the Japan Research Institute Limited, which aims to contributeto society from a mid- to long-term perspective, and incorporates the viewpoints of public andhealthcare professionals, ensuring a fair and impartial perspective.32. The Need for and Expected Effects of Establishing an Ecosystem forRegenerative Medical Products2.1. Why Focus on Regenerative Medical Products?Regenerative medical products are those made by culturing or similar processing through theuse of human or animal cells and tissues. They are used for reconstructing, repairing, andforming the structure and functions of the human body, treating and preventing diseases, andfor gene therapy. 1 These products offer new treatment possibilities for conditions that aredifficult to cure with traditional methods and have the potential to significantly improve patients'quality of life.The target diseases and forms of regenerative medical products are diverse, and the latter areof high clinical value. They are likely to promote the social reintegration of patients, aid theirparticipation in economic activity, help mitigate the decline in the working population, andsupport economic stability. Furthermore, regenerative medical products have the potential tosignificantly reduce the burden not only on patients but also on their families, caregivers, theorganizations where patients are employed, and medical institutions. They are seen ascontributing to the improvement of overall productivity and sustainable economic growth forsociety as a whole.Research and development of regenerative medical products in Japan are steadily progressingwith the support of government policies and collaboration between industry and academia.2,3,4However, to strengthen competitiveness in the global market, it is urgent to build an ecosystemunique to Japan. In particular, fields such as regenerative medicine, cell therapy, and genetherapy are crucial areas that provide new treatment options for diseases that are difficult toaddress with traditional therapies. Facilitating the advancement of research, development,manufacturing technology, and market formation in these areas is a critical issue for Japan'shealthcare.42.2. Current Status and Challenges of the Regenerative Medical Products MarketIn Japan, laws related to regenerative medicine were established in 2013 & 2014, markingabout ten years since their enactment. At that time, technologies related to regenerativemedicine were earning a reputation for being innovative, with the potential to lead to early curesfor diseases and injuries and aid in the prevention of severe conditions, especially followingProfessor Shinya Yamanaka's Nobel Prize win in 2012. However, due to the unclear positioningwithin the regulatory system, there were high expectations for the government’s enactment ofappropriate laws. The resulting legal framework categorized regenerative medical productsunder the "Act on Securing Quality, Efficacy, and Safety of Products Including Pharmaceuticalsand Medical Devices" (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act) for insurance-covered medicaltreatments, and under the "Act on Securing the Safety of Regenerative Medicine" for treatmentsnot covered by insurance and for research purposes, thereby promoting entry and investmentalong these routes.However, the anticipated widespread adoption of domestically developed regenerativemedicines has not been realized, and it remains a technology handled by a limited number ofmedical institutions within Japan. Furthermore, the domestic ecosystem is evolving only slowly,and growth rates are not as high as originally envisioned. Under existing rules applying toconventional pharmaceuticals, only two regenerative products had been approved before theestablishment of a dedicated regulatory framework, but 20 products have now been approvedas of June 2025. However, the market size expected at the time of the legal establishment in20205 has not been reached, and the scale remains small relative to the global market, Japan’sshare of which is only about 3%. The development of many products approved in Europe andthe United States has not progressed in Japan, with fewer than 20% undergoing phase 3 clinicaltrials. 6 To overcome this stagnation, more aggressive investment in technology developmentand regulatory reforms are required.52.3. Government Initiatives for Regenerative MedicineThe Japanese government has undertaken numerous initiatives to promote research anddevelopment in the field of regenerative medicines. In addition to the establishment of aregulatory framework in 2013/2014, its "Healthcare and Medical Strategy” 7 was formulated in2014, clarifying the development of innovative medical technologies, including regenerativemedicines, as a national strategy. Further efforts have been made since 2018 to strengthen thesupport system for the social implementation of regenerative medical technologies through theformulation and revision of the "Integrated Innovation Strategy.” 8 At the beginning of the 2020s,the government identified regenerative medicine as a scientific field directly linked to nationalinterests in its "Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform 2022" andemphasized enhancing the development of regenerative medical products to strengthen drugdiscovery capabilities in its "Basic Policy 2023." In line with these policies, the government, theMinistry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, theMinistry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Japan Agency forMedical Research and Development (AMED) have allocated budgets to help fund research anddevelopment. Furthermore, the government’s "Basic Policy 2024" set forth its commitment toenhancing drug discovery capabilities and promoting healthcare, positioning the developmentof drugs and regenerative medical products using iPS cells as key measures. Its more recent"Basic Policy 2025" continues this approach, with efforts underway to achieve the earlyestablishment of industrial promotion hubs to lead regenerative medicine production.Additionally, the "Bioeconomy Strategy” 9 developed by the Healthcare and Medical StrategyPromotion Secretariat sets a goal of global expansion of the market for Japanese-originatedregenerative medical products by 2030, aiming at market establishment and industrializationboth domestically and internationally. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is promotingthe development of efficient manufacturing processes for regenerative medical products andstrengthening domestic industrial infrastructure. The recent "Support Project for Investment inRegenerative, Cellular, and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Facilities” 10 under the FY2024Supplementary Budget focuses on establishing domestic manufacturing bases for contractdevelopment and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) and developing appropriate humanresources to ensure the smooth manufacturing of regenerative medical products and relateditems in Japan. While current efforts are still in progress, these comprehensive policies are seenas playing a crucial role in building the ecosystem's foundation and enhancing Japan'sinternational competitiveness.62.4. Necessity of Establishing an Ecosystem for Regenerative Medical ProductsRegenerative medical products are groundbreaking technologies that offer innovativetreatments, but there are numerous challenges that need to be overcome from the researchstage through to actual patient treatment. For example, during the research and developmentphase, it is necessary to address various issues related to cell and tissue processing. Additionally,it is essential to establish a specialized system for the stable supply of these products, one whichrequires unique processes such as cell culture and handling. Once a stable supply system isestablished, these products must undergo evaluation by various regulatory authorities to ensurethat they can be provided by medical institutions.Fig.1 Overview of a sustainable regenerative medicine ecosystemTo sustainably operate this entire process as an "ecosystem," it is essential to reinvest theoutcomes from actual clinical practice, as well as the insights and revenue gained, into theresearch, development, and manufacturing of the next cycle. This enables the development ofnext-generation products. Ensuring this ecosystem cycle operates sustainably will make it morelikely that innovative medical treatments can be delivered to more patients, whilesimultaneously achieving growth of the sector and advancements in medical care.72.5. Benefits of Establishing a Regenerative Medical Products EcosystemThe establishment and continuous proliferation of an ecosystem for regenerative medicalproducts are expected to bring significant benefits to Japan's healthcare industry and to societyas a whole, while also enhancing the country’s international competitiveness by demonstratingits leadership in this field.Producing regenerative medical products domestically for Japanese patients can address globalmanufacturing and storage limitations, ensuring a sustainable supply. This allows patients toaccess treatments for severe diseases at an early stage, positively impacting the lives ofJapanese patients and their families. It also has the potential to meet future treatment needsfor various conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, beyond current levels of demand.From the perspective of utilizing Japanese talent, building this ecosystem will createopportunities for skilled professionals in research, development, and manufacturing. It canalleviate the burden on healthcare workers, allowing them to focus on treating other diseases,and enable patients who have been cured of severe illnesses—and their families—to becomeactive again, contributing immeasurably to society and the economy.In terms of international competitiveness, the ability to quickly supply regenerative medicalproducts to Asian countries is crucial. The technology related to regenerative medical productscould become the foundation of Japan's bioindustry, accelerating research and developmentoriginating from here. This is expected to develop into opportunities for international leadership,expanding Japan's influence in Asia and globally.[1] Cabinet Bill "Act on Securing Quality, Efficacy and Safety of Products Including Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices."[2] Cabinet Office Health and Medical Strategy Promotion Headquarters Regenerative/Cell Therapy and Gene TherapyPromotion Council 9th Meeting Document 1-1: Cabinet Office Submission "Government's Overall Efforts in the Field ofRegenerative/Cell Therapy and Gene Therapy" (June 2023)[3] Cabinet Office Health and Medical Strategy Promotion Headquarters Regenerative/Cell Therapy and Gene TherapyPromotion Council "Future Efforts in the Field of Regenerative/Cell Therapy and Gene Therapy" (May 2022)[4] Cabinet Secretariat "New Capitalism's Grand Design and Execution Plan 2025 Revised Edition" (June 2025)[5] Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Final Report on the Practical Application and Industrialization of RegenerativeMedicine (February 2013)[6] Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Central Social Insurance Medical Council, Drug Price Special Committee (236thmeeting), Statement Materials, The Forum for Innovative Regenerative Medicine "Opinions on the Price Calculation ofRegenerative Medical Products" (July 2025)[7] Healthcare and Medical Strategy (Cabinet decision, July 2014), etc.[8] Integrated Innovation Strategy (Cabinet decision, June 2018), etc.[9] Bioeconomy Strategy (Integrated Innovation Strategy Promotion Council decision, June 2024)[10] Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, FY2024 Supplementary Budget "Support Project for Investment inRegenerative, Cellular, and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Facilities"83. Clinical and Social Value of CAR-T Cell Therapy3.1. Overview of CAR-T Cell TherapyThis white paper focuses on CAR-T cell therapy and identifies specific challenges involved in thedelivery of regenerative medical products. The reasons for this focus include the significantclinical and societal value of CAR-T cell therapy, the complexity of its manufacturing and qualitycontrol process, given that it’s a personalized medicine, and its approval and industrialization inJapan, the U.S., and Europe alongside other regenerative medical products.CAR-T cell therapy involves harvesting a patient's T-cells, reprogramming them using gene-editing technology to specifically recognize and attack cancer cells, and then expanding thesecells and administering them back into the patient as a regenerative medical product. Thisinnovative, fully personalized medical treatment is currently approved in Japan for five productsthat treat hematologic cancers such as B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, large B-celllymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Additionally, CAR-T cell therapy shows potential efficacy forsolid tumors and autoimmune diseases, suggesting its potential for broader disease applicability.3.2. Clinical Value of CAR-T Cell TherapyThe clinical value of CAR-T cell therapy is assessed based on the outcome of clinical trials andon post-marketing clinical data. This treatment aims to provide a cure for severe diseases andcan achieve long-term remission. Clinical trial results indicate groundbreaking effects on overallsurvival (OS) and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) with a single administration for patientswith severe hematological cancers.11,12 High response rates and survival have also beenreported in post-marketing clinical trials.13 Furthermore, CAR-T cell therapy has an establishedsafety profile,14 it has significantly improved patient outcomes in cases of diseases that werepreviously challenging to treat, and as an innovative therapeutic has expanded treatmentoptions. The clinical value is validated by real-world data,15 suggesting a transformative impacton cancer treatment and potential application across a wide range of diseases.93.3. Societal Value of CAR-T Cell TherapyAs a one-time personalized therapy, CAR-T cell therapy reduces the need for long-termtreatment involving regular hospital visits, administration, and ongoing costs, improvingpatients' long-term quality of life (QoL). Improved health leads to early social and economicreintegration for patients, enhancing productivity and reducing the burden on families andcaregivers.From an economic standpoint, CAR-T cell therapy is of high societal value. For instance, U.S.estimates suggest a 30.3% cost reduction using cell therapy to treat multiple myelomacompared to standard treatments. This is attributed to a reduction in ongoing chemotherapycosts, hospitalization days, and outpatient visits; it also reflects a reduction in the loss of overalllifetime earnings for patients and of caregiver productivity.16 Additionally, efficient resourceallocation by organizations and medical institutions helps ensure sustainable healthcare,enhancing access to quality treatments for more patients.Given Japan's declining labor force and increasing individual economic value, CAR-T cell therapyis expected to significantly impact positively on a broad spectrum of society. As an importantmedical innovation, further dissemination of CAR-T cell therapy is anticipated.[11] Bristol Myers Squibb, "TRANSCEND trial: Largest pivotal trial in 3L+ large B-cell lymphoma, including patients withhigh-risk disease."[12] Gilead Sciences, "Yescarta® Is First CAR T-cell Therapy to Report Five-Year Survival Data From Pivotal Study ShowingDurable Long-Term Survival in Patients With Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma" (December 2021).[13] Neelapu SS.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Development and Manufacturing ofCAR-T Cell TherapyThe manufacturing of regenerative medical products involves a process distinct from that oftraditional pharmaceuticals, necessitating a specialized framework. Due to the personalizednature of these treatments, standardizing quality control and production processes poses achallenge. Recently, under the leadership of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry,efforts to establish manufacturing infrastructure have been making steady progress. However,further improvements in manufacturing technology and cost reduction are essential to create asystem that can deliver treatment to more patients.On the supply side, it is crucial to enhance collaboration with medical institutions and optimizethe supply network to ensure that patients requiring treatment can access regenerative medicalproducts at the right time. Specifically, establishing a distribution system to ensure a stablesupply of products is vital.4.1. Manufacturing and Supply Process of CAR-T Cell TherapyCAR-T cell therapy is a fully personalized treatment produced by genetically modifying apatient’s own T-cells, and involves a complex manufacturing and supply process. Initially, T-cells are extracted from the patient using leukapheresis and transported to a pharmaceuticalcompany’s cell processing facility. There, genetic modification techniques are used to introducechimeric antigen receptors (CARs) into the T-cells, enabling them to specifically recognize andattack cancer cells. The genetically modified T-cells are then expanded in a culture environment.Throughout this process, quality control tests are conducted to ensure only qualified cells arefrozen and shipped as products. These are then transported to treatment facilities, thawed, andadministered to the patient under strict side-effect management protocols.114.2. Challenges in the Development, Manufacturing, and Supply of CAR-T CellTherapyWhile CAR-T cell therapy is innovative compared to traditional pharmaceuticals, it facesnumerous challenges in its development, manufacturing, and supply processes. Traditionalpharmaceuticals can be mass-produced uniformly through chemical synthesis or large-scalecultivation, and efficiently supplied to a large number of patients by maintaining inventory andutilizing logistics networks. In contrast, CAR-T cell therapy involves handling living cells derivedfrom the patient, requiring specialized facilities and equipment. The manufacturing and qualitycontrol processes rely heavily on personalized tasks carried out by highly specialized and trainedpersonnel. Furthermore, the technologies are covered by numerous patents, leading to highlicensing fees. The therapy also involves expensive, specialized raw materials, some of whichface supply shortages, driving up prices. Transportation requires dedicated logistics, includingspecific packaging and infrastructure (such as cold supply chains that maintain temperatures ofminus 150°C), necessitating transport from medical facilities to cell processing facilities andback for each patient. Currently, CAR-T cell therapies are primarily manufactured overseas, withtransport complexities and time lags posing unique challenges.CAR-T cell therapy, being a fully personalized treatment, incurs high production costs, R&Dexpenses, and distribution costs, unlike traditional pharmaceuticals where economies of scaleapply. Moreover, since the manufacturing process significantly impacts the efficacy and qualityof the final product, integrating commercial perspectives into the development process from anearly stage is crucial. Internationally, a startup ecosystem allows biotech startups tocommercialize academic seeds and secure funding from venture capital and investment markets.Leveraging this financial strength, pharmaceutical companies and CDMOs get involved early,accelerating development. In contrast, Japan's startup ecosystem is underdeveloped, and thecurrent pricing structure makes the domestic market less attractive compared to other countries.Consequently, attracting investment to finance the conducting of clinical trials andmanufacturing in Japan is challenging, delaying the shift towards a commercially-drivenmanufacturing process and, consequently, practical application.Overcoming these challenges requires technological innovation and an expansion ofmanufacturing scale. Standardizing and streamlining manufacturing technologies, optimizingsupply chains, developing highly specialized human resources, and establishing facilities areimperative. By achieving this, Japan will undoubtedly enhance its international competitiveness.124.3. Opportunities in the Development, Manufacturing, and Supply of CAR-T CellTherapyConversely, the development, manufacturing, and supply of CAR-T cell therapy presentsignificant opportunities for Japan. Currently, few countries offer CAR-T cell therapy, and Japanhas the potential to lead globally in manufacturing, clinical development, and evidencegeneration. Through initiatives like the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s "RegenerativeMedicine Industrialization Infrastructure Program," the Japanese government is activelyinvesting in the establishment of manufacturing facilities and CDMOs for regenerative-, cell-,and gene therapies, including CAR-T cell therapy. These initiatives aim to strengthen domesticmanufacturing capacity, position Japan as a hub for manufacturing and supply in Asia, andenhance the country’s international competitiveness.Government policies are expected to promote the development of specialized human resourcesand the establishment of facilities, providing a foundation for advancing supply chainsophistication. This will enable Japan to demonstrate leadership in this field, offering treatmentaccess to a wider range of patients and creating opportunities for new treatments.135. Challenges in the Medical Insurance System and Provision of CAR-T CellTherapyJapan's healthcare insurance system operates under a universal health coverage framework,enabling relatively swift reimbursement after approval. 17 Additionally, advanced medicalfacilities utilizing regenerative medical products are available nationwide, providing anenvironment conducive to patients receiving cutting-edge treatments. To offer regenerativemedical products as a treatment option for a wide range of diseases, it is crucial to establish asystem that ensures sustainable provision through the insurance reimbursement system.However, the pricing of products, reimbursement as medical technology, and investments inmedical facility infrastructure are designed as extensions of traditional systems, and it is difficultto say that the unique characteristics of regenerative medicine have been fully assessed. Inparticular, discussions are needed on how to reflect in the insurance reimbursement system thelong-term outcomes for patients, the reduction of burden on caregivers, and the contribution tosociety that regenerative medical products can offer. Consideration is also needed of how toalign with the current system, given that economies of scale based on manufacturing volumesdo not fully apply, and how to target investments in medical institutions in such a way thatinnovative treatments will be disseminated.5.1. Challenges in Pricing and Repricing SystemsIn Japan, keeping prices low facilitates quick and widespread insurance reimbursement. Incontrast, in Europe, companies tend to set higher prices, with reimbursement often delayed dueto cost-effectiveness evaluations. However, setting prices too low may reduce incentives forcompanies to engage in research and development, potentially leading to drug lags or losses.In Japan, product prices tend to be lower than in other countries. Although the number ofapproved CAR-T products is not large in Japan and other countries, a 2023 survey comparingCAR-T cell therapy product prices showed that each product cost approximately 33 million yenin Japan. In contrast, prices ranged from 68 million to 87 million yen in the U.S., 45 million to46 million yen in the UK, 37 million to 59 million yen in Germany, and 37 million to 59 millionyen in France. 18 The insurance-listed price in Japan for the allogeneic mesenchymal stem cellproduct Alofisel for the treatment of complex fistulas in Crohn's disease was about 5.6 millionyen, compared to about 6.9 million yen in France.19 For the gene therapy Zolgensma used totreat spinal muscular atrophy, the price in Japan was approximately 167 million yen, comparedto 230-280 million yen in the U.S.20 Meanwhile, Luxturna, approved for hereditary retinaldystrophy, was priced at about 50 million yen in Japan, roughly equivalent to the UK price andhigher than France's price of about 41 million yen. 21 However, the peak number of patients wasfive, suggesting minimal impact on healthcare finances. Currently, with the weakened yen,overseas prices denominated in yen have risen further, widening the gap with Japanese prices.14Additionally, while prices rarely increase post-reimbursement in Japan, overseas systems thatallow for price increases contribute to further widening the gap.5.1.1. Long-term Clinical and Societal ValueJapan's national medical expenses amounted to 46.6967 trillion yen in the fiscal year 2022 22and are expected to approach around 50 trillion yen by the fiscal year 2025, driven by increasingmedical demand resulting from the country’s declining birthrate and aging population. Inresponse to concerns about rapidly increasing financial burdens, the government has repeatedlysought to contain unit costs and quantities through measures such as medical fees and productpricing, which may put further pressure the revenues of healthcare institutions, pharmaceuticalcompanies, and related industries. Against this backdrop, companies face profitability challenges,healthcare institutions face issues with facilities, equipment, and human resources, and patientsface the risk of drug lags and losses. Moreover, a significant concern is the inability to reinvestprofits derived from innovations into next-generation development.As a fundamental reform proposal to address these issues, the following two points have beensuggested and discussed by the Institute for New Era Strategy.23 It is considered necessary todesign a system with a view toward the medium- to long-term future.a. Management of Total Healthcare Expenditure in Line with Economic GrowthDiscussions are underway on managing healthcare expenditure to a certain extent to preventexcessive healthcare cost containment from adversely affecting patient health and the qualityof care. For example, one proposal suggests managing the pharmaceutical cost portion ofhealthcare expenditure so that it grows in line with the long-term nominal GDP growth rate.By numerically indicating the upper and lower limits of the funding framework in advance, theproposal aims to create a highly predictable environment that prevents sudden andmechanical price reductions while ensuring appropriate resource allocation to innovativepharmaceuticals. Notably, nominal GDP growth includes the GDP deflator, allowing forappropriate reflection of price-related growth in pharmaceutical costs.b. Introduction of a System to Evaluate Diverse ValuesTo balance improving healthcare quality and sustainability, discussions are underway onimproving the opaque process of health technology assessment, which currently focusesprimarily on cost and QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Years). Proposals include a fundamentalimprovement to value assessment by incorporating comprehensive value elements (theimpact on work, the health of caregivers and families, societal impact) while defining andclassifying pharmaceuticals and technologies with clinical effects and social benefits below a15certain standard as low-value healthcare. Gradual reductions in insurance points and exitsfrom reimbursement are being suggested, along with the presentation of alternativetreatments.Regarding the adjustment premiums in pricing, regenerative medical products require long-term observation of outcomes post-transplantation or administration, and it's often the casethat all required items are not thoroughly verified at the time of application. Moreover,regenerative medical products offer contributions that are not fully captured by the currentadjustment premiums. A significant challenge for Japan is the projected increase in overallmedical demand and per capita healthcare costs due to the aging population as the countryheads toward 2040, leading to increased burdens on the working population. Regenerativemedical products are particularly capable of addressing this challenge by offering potentialtreatments or cures for diseases that are difficult to resolve with conventional medicaltechnologies, thus potentially reducing long-term hospitalization and caregiving costs andimproving productivity through the reintegration of workers into society. In fact, when the cost-effectiveness of Kymriah was evaluated, estimations of productivity loss, though preliminary,yielded positive results. 24To establish a foundation for data collection and analysis in real-world clinical settings andpromote reverse translational research that feeds back clinical insights and challenges into next-generation R&D, it is necessary to give greater consideration to a premium system whereinnovations, once their post-market efficacy and safety are verified, are adequately reflected inthe pricing of existing products.The perception of value in healthcare varies depending on the recipient, and certain aspects ofthis may lead to conflicts of interest among stakeholders. However, a proposal for a systemdesign that allows the value provided by regenerative medical products to be presented withevidence data by companies and academic societies, and reflected as adjustment premiumswhen socially recognized, would be beneficial for the future of our country.16Figure 1Trends in costs of conventional pharmaceuticals and regenerative medicine products5.1.2. Lack of Economies of Scale due to Personalized ManufacturingJapan's drug pricing system includes mechanisms that can uniformly lower the price ofinnovative drugs even during their patent period, one of which is called “market expansionrepricing.” The market expansion repricing system is designed to optimize healthcare costs andefficiently manage budgets by reevaluating the price of a drug if its market size significantlyexceeds initial projections. The specific criteria for this system are as follows: If the market size is more than double the initial forecast and annual sales exceed 15billion yen. If the drug has not undergone cost-based price revisions and the market size is ten timesthe initial forecast, with annual sales exceeding 10 billion yen.This system operates on the premise that economies of scale can reduce the per-unit cost ofdrugs that can be mass-produced. However, CAR-T cell therapies require complex andpersonalized manufacturing processes that incur high costs for specialized personneldevelopment, quality control, logistics, and post-manufacturing operations. Even if the numberof patients supplied increases, production remains individualized, necessitating an expansion of17transport and supply lines, making cost reduction through mass production impossible.Additionally, global manufacturing and supply are limited, and if prices are suppressed due toJapan's pricing system or currency exchange rates, it could become challenging to maintainpatients’ access to the treatment due to prioritization decisions, potentially limiting treatmentoptions.Currently, CAR-T cell therapy products are not subject to market expansion repricing or"yoking," but with an increase in the number of eligible patients, they may become subject tothese in the near future. To ensure a sustainable supply for Japanese patients, it is reasonableto consider revising the market expansion repricing system.Figure 2Relationship between product manufacturing costs and production quantity ofconventional pharmaceuticals and regenerative medicine products185.2. Challenges in the Medical Fee SystemTo promote the widespread use of regenerative medical products, it is essential to establish asystem that allows medical institutions to actively invest in infrastructure and human resourcedevelopment while ensuring their profitability. Currently, there are challenges in building aframework that enables medical institutions to provide high-quality healthcare sustainably.Specifically, the setting of appropriate fees for procedures and management to enhance facilityinvestment and human resources is inadequate, making it difficult for medical institutions torealize a profit. For instance, the reimbursement for CAR-T cell therapy procedures is currentlybased on the system for autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, which has asimilar process. However, the costs associated with the medical delivery system, such asnecessary personnel and equipment, are not fully covered by the existing reimbursement.Notably, only one apheresis is reimbursed per CAR-T cell production, and if the first apheresisdoes not meet the standards and must be repeated, it is not covered, becoming a financialburden for the medical institution.25 Additionally, the transportation and reception of cells to andfrom manufacturing facilities and the preparation of ultra-low temperature transport containersare necessary, but the cost of these is not reimbursed. Furthermore, CAR-T cell therapy requiresmuch more sophisticated and prolonged side-effect management compared to autologousperipheral blood stem cell transplantation, and this is not adequately considered in terms ofmanagement and medication.When designing the reimbursement system, it is necessary to create a framework allowingmedical institutions to proactively invest in infrastructure and human resource developmentwhile generating a profit. Addressing these challenges will improve the quality and accessibilityof regenerative medical healthcare and enable the sustainable development of appropriateproducts.5.3. Challenges in Patient Access to TreatmentEnsuring patient access to regenerative medical products and creating an environment wherethey can receive treatment with confidence requires the following challenges to be overcome:5.3.1. Diagnosis to Initial Treatment and Relapse ProcessPatients experience significant changes in their daily lives and feel anxiety about the disease'sprogression and prognosis throughout the process from diagnosis to initial treatment andrelapse. Additionally, due to a lack of understanding of the disease itself and of information ontreatment options, including regenerative medical products, patients find it difficult to determinehow best to proceed. Moreover, concerns that they may have to move from hospital to hospital19and worries over the side-effects of treatments are significant deterrents to undergoingtreatment.5.3.2. Access to CAR-T Cell TherapyIn clinical trials of CAR-T cell therapy, specific serious adverse events, such as cytokine releasesyndrome, have been reported. Due to safety considerations, treatment is only allowed atspecific eligible facilities. However, the number of facilities in Japan able to provide thistreatment varies by product, ranging from 36 to 67 facilities,26 making access particularlydifficult for patients living in rural areas. In the U.S., CAR-T cell therapy's status as a treatmentoption is well-established in clinical guidelines. 27 By contrast, in Japan it is merely listed as oneof many treatment options,28 influencing treatment choices by patients and physicians.Furthermore, there is no effective system or network to link treatment-providing facilities withreferral facilities, nor are there specialized coordinators, leading to a burden in providing medicalinformation and insufficient incentives for patient referrals. Consequently, access to appropriatetreatments for patients needing regenerative medical products is limited. This is especiallyproblematic in the case of acute diseases, where there is often a lack of smooth communicationand prior discussions about subsequent treatments, such as CAR-T cell therapy, betweenpatients and referring physicians prior to relapse.5.3.3. From Treatment to Follow-upPatients continue to experience significant anxiety from treatment through follow-up.Particularly, concerns about the latter are substantial; better follow-up mechanisms are neededto allow patients to handle their prognosis with confidence.205.3.4. [Note 1] Summary of discussions regarding the use of private insuranceIn Japan, the constantly increasing cost of healthcare is giving rise to concerns about thesustainability of the public health insurance system. Proposals are being considered to excludesome high-cost medications from public insurance coverage and to utilize private insurance tohelp contain social insurance premiums. The public health insurance system aims to achieve itsideal of Universal Health Coverage, ensuring that, when facing significant risks, everyone canaccess the medical services they need without any financial worries. However, excludingexpensive medications from public insurance coverage could pose a serious challenge to thisideal. Additionally, as medical technology advances and treatment options diversify, restrictingthese options due to financial reasons would be counterproductive to improving the quality andaccessibility of healthcare. From this perspective, it is desirable that regenerative medicalproducts and related technologies continue to be covered by the public health insurance system.On the other hand, the government plans to expand the scope of treatments that can be usedalongside those covered by insurance, specifically targeting cutting-edge medical technologieswhose effectiveness is not yet fully validated, as opposed to officially approved products likeCAR-T cell therapies.29 Currently, the insights gained from the use of regenerative medicine asa medical technology under safety assurance laws are not fully utilized in the formulation of thenext-generation ecosystem. Moving forward, it is necessary to implement measures that reflectthese insights in the research and development of next-generation treatments through proactivereverse translational research. For example, research and treatment plans aimed at acquiringevidence, such as advanced medical care or patient-requested therapies, should be madeavailable to those covered by public health insurance, to reduce the burden on patients,encourage public participation, accumulate case numbers, and improve the quality of researchand treatment. Additionally, supporting these systems requires collaboration with privateinsurance providers. For private insurance providers to cover a specific condition and forcoverage to become established and flourish, they must assume a lower disease risk, with alarge potential market size and a broad segment of the population facing the risk. In areasmeeting these conditions, it would be beneficial to consider the development and utilization ofprivate insurance to help alleviate individual burdens.215.3.5. [Note 2] Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation SystemThe “Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform 2025” (“Honebuto no Hoshin2025”) 30 states:“Based on objective verification, further utilization of the cost-effectiveness evaluation systemwill be considered, including appropriate evaluation methods, the scope of application, and theimplementation structure, as well as its use in the drug pricing system and clinical practice.”This indicates a direction toward expanded application of the system in the future.Analyzing the European HTA landscape, 'cost-effectiveness evaluation,' or 'economic HTA,' isnot applied to regenerative medical products in key reference countries like Germany and France.The primary reason for this is that standard economic HTA lacks the flexibility to account forbroader considerations, such as long-term economic and scientific values. Applying standardeconomic HTA could lead to significant drug lag and loss for regenerative medical products.31While economic HTA is not undertaken in countries like Germany and France, clinical HTAfocuses on clinical value assessment, including patient-reported outcomes (PRO). However,regenerative medical products are highly complex, with challenges in blinding, randomization,endpoint selection, and choice of comparator, which results in uncertain evidence regardingtheir long-term value at the time of regulatory submission. Even clinical HTA has limitations infully capturing the long-term, potentially lifetime, benefits of regenerative medicine products.However, for example, in Sweden, economic HTA is applied to with greater flexibility whichhelps regenerative medical products. They incorporate flexible thresholds for the IncrementalCost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER), Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY), cost-benefit analysis, andbudget impact to enable faster patient access to life-saving regenerative medical products.Sweden’s HTA system also systematically includes ‘Indirect costs and benefits’, which supportstheir access as regenerative medical products have a positive impact on this domain of HTA..225.3.6. [Note 3] Price Stability and Manufacturing Incentives to Promote Innovationand Investment in FranceIn France, a framework agreement between LEEM (The French Pharmaceutical CompaniesAssociation) and CEPS (The Economic Committee for Health Products) has established a systemproviding price stability and manufacturing incentives (currently under renegotiation). Itincorporates incentives designed to promote domestic manufacturing, support exports, byensuring that prices for highly innovative medicines do not fall below those in other Europeancountries.32They include the following:• To promote domestic manufacturing of innovative medicines, for products rated ASMR 1–3(indicating high added clinical value compared to existing therapies), if all majormanufacturing steps are conducted in France, the price must not be lower than the lowestprice in either the UK, Germany, Italy, or Spain.• If current or future investments in manufacturing, R&D, or digital health related to theproduct are made within the EU—particularly in France—up to five years of price stabilitymay be granted.• To encourage exports, products for which at least one significant manufacturing step isconducted in the EU (especially in France), batch release is performed in France, and morethan 60% of production volume is exported, may be granted two years of price stability(renewable once for up to two additional years).• For many innovative medicines rated ASMR 1–3, if the price is set by referencing otherEuropean countries and the health economic assessment is valid, net and list price stabilityis granted for the first five years after market launch (three years in other cases).In Japan, similar incentives may be necessary to promote the R&D and manufacturing ofregenerative medicine and related products, and to support their development as an exportindustry. Specifically, ensuring that domestic prices do not fall below referenced Europeanprices could be a key policy consideration.23[17] Institute of Health Industry Policy Studies, Policy Research News No. 66, "Why Do New Drugs Reach Patients 60 DaysAfter Approval?"

Actions and Policies Necessary for the Dissemination and Sustainability ofRegenerative Medical ProductsEfforts to establish a regenerative medical product ecosystem are being propelled somewhat bygovernment initiatives at various stages, including research, development, manufacturing, andsupply. However, there remains a lack of a comprehensive system in terms of healthcareinsurance and the establishment of a treatment-providing framework, indicating that the currentecosystem is insufficient for seamless operation.Recommendation 1:Reform of the pricing system and medical fee system to promote the spread ofregenerative medical productsJapan's healthcare insurance system operates on a principle of universal health coverage,providing an environment conducive to receiving advanced treatments. By keeping prices low,Japan facilitates rapid and extensive insurance reimbursement, whereas in Europe, high pricingset by companies often results in delayed reimbursement due to cost-effectiveness evaluations.However, setting prices too low could reduce the incentive for companies to invest in researchand development, potentially leading to drug lags or losses. Implementing systemic reformsthat reflect the innovation and characteristics of regenerative medical products could positionJapan as a global leader in this field, thereby delivering the benefits of treatment to morepatients.Ensuring sustainable access to regenerative medical products requires comprehensive reformof the healthcare insurance system. First, it is necessary to review pricing to properly assessinnovation and reconsider market expansion repricing. Additionally, in order to utilize limitedmedical resources efficiently, strategies to reduce medical costs, such as curbing excessivemedication usage and ensuring appropriate use, should also be considered. Adequate reflection of the usability rating in the priceRegenerative medical products not only offer clinical value over long periods but are also abenefit to society by aiding patient reintegration into society and reducing the burden oncaregivers. It is important to consider how these contributions over an extended timeframe canbe reflected in the form of adjustments to premiums within the healthcare insurance system.Furthermore, using this system as an incentive, it is necessary to promote the collection andanalysis of real-world clinical data and reverse translational research for verification.25 Revision of the application of the market expansion repricingRegenerative medical products undergo complex manufacturing and distribution processes,incurring significant costs in terms of specialized facilities, personnel, intellectual property,special quality control, and post-production operations. Additionally, these products areindividually manufactured for each patient, lacking economies of scale, and making costreduction through mass production difficult. Applying market expansion repricing, whichassumes economies of scale, could severely impact company revenues and hinder continuedpatient access. Therefore, reviewing current market expansion repricing rules, which assumeeconomies of scale for conventional pharmaceuticals, is necessary. At the very least,establishing a mechanism that prevents excessive price reductions during scope expansionswould help maintain an environment where companies can supply innovative treatments in asustainable manner. Improvement of the medical fee system to properly reflect medical costsTo enable the sustainable provision of regenerative medical products, support for facilityinvestment and human resource development at medical institutions is crucial. Thus, whensetting reimbursement rates, it is necessary to evaluate the costs of medical provision systems,including the personnel and facilities required for the provision of regenerative medical products,sufficiently within reimbursement rates. Additionally, it is important to incorporate systems thatallow medical institutions to recoup their investment in facilities and personnel.26Recommendation 2:Review Ecosystem Challenges and Continue with Policies that will Enhance Next-Generation CyclesTo develop an ecosystem for regenerative medical products, it is essential to make ongoingefforts to identify challenges, improve processes, and refine these; this will help enhance thenext generation of medical technologies. While the government currently supports theestablishment of research, development, manufacturing, and supply systems for regenerativemedical products, transient investments alone cannot sustain the ecosystem. To ensure Japanbecomes a more attractive market, it is essential to balance regulatory system enhancement,reinvestment of profits gained from initial cycles by private companies, and the furtherexpansion of government investment funds from a bio-industry development perspective. Promote measures to strengthen stakeholder collaborationIn innovative technology development, it is crucial to swiftly and efficiently introduce researchfindings to the market. Bridging research plays a vital role in this process. The government andrelevant ministries should promote policies that facilitate the transfer of university-originatedtechnologies to startups and push rapid product development.To ensure smoother provision of regenerative medical products, it is urgent to build systemsand strengthen networks in order to link referring facilities with treatment-providing facilitiesmore effectively. By enhancing collaboration among medical institutions, clarifying thepositioning of regenerative medical products in clinical guidelines, and boosting incentives forpatient referrals, a network should be developed to ensure that patients requiring regenerativemedical products receive treatment quickly and appropriately.To improve patient awareness and ensure their access to treatment, patient organizations,academic societies, medical institutions, and development companies need to collaborate inbuilding forums for sharing and discussing the latest information on diseases and the varioustreatment options, including immunotherapy, and create comprehensive and easy-to-understand guidance.Furthermore, evidence derived from real-world clinical data should be accumulated and fed backinto next-generation research and development. With the participation of treatment-providingfacilities, academia, development companies, and patients, it is important to verify the long-term value of regenerative medical products and build the kind of foundations that will helpensure their further development.27 Continue to reduce costs and develop infrastructureThe manufacturing, quality control, and supply of regenerative medical products remain in theearly stages of refinement, with many processes relying on manual labor by highly skilledpersonnel, resulting in high manufacturing costs. However, with technological advancementssuch as automation and robotics, future cost reductions are anticipated, allowing more patientsto benefit from new regenerative medical treatment opportunities across various diseases.The government should aim to nurture highly specialized human resources, promote facilitydevelopment, enhance supply chains, and establish a domestic ecosystem, solidifying Japan'sposition as a base for expansion into Asian countries.WHITE PAPERCreating a Sustainable Ecosystem for Innovative Regenerative Medical ProductsJuly 29, 2025[Authors]Keiichiro Noda, Ryosuke Kawachimaru, Mitsuhiro Nakato, Yukino Nozaki,Masaki Kawasaki, Shunichiro NagumoResearch & Consulting Division, Healthcare & New business Group,The Japan Research Institute, Limited[Co-authors]Kazumasa OguroProfessor, Faculty of Economics, Department of Economics, Hosei UniversityTakanori TeshimaProfessor, Department of Hematology, Hokkaido University Graduate School of MedicineHiroshi NakamuraProfessor, Dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration, Keio UniversityYoshimi YashiroProfessor, Center for Translational Research Support Education, Fujita Health University[Sponsor]Bristol-Myers Squibb K.K.This white paper proposal was created with the sponsorship of Bristol-Myers Squibb.※This article reflects the opinion of the author and does not represent the official view of theJRI.

They are used forreconstructing, repairing, and forming the structure and functions of the humanbody, treating and preventing diseases, and for gene therapy. These products offernew treatment possibilities for conditions that are difficult to cure with conventionalmethods and have the potential to significantly improve patientʼs quality of life.Research and development of regenerative medical products in Japan are steadilyprogressing with the support of government policy and collaboration betweenindustry and academia. However, compared to the global market, the Japan markethas not grown sufficiently, and many of the products approved in Europe and theUnited States have not been developed in Japan. In order to overcome thisstagnation of industrialization, more active investment in technology developmentand regulatory reforms are required.This white paper focuses on CAR-T cell therapy and identifies specific challengesin the research, development, manufacturing and supply, and treatment ofregenerative medical products, as well as in the healthcare insurance system thatsupports this entire process. The reasons for this focus include the significant clinicaland societal value of CAR-T cell therapy, the complexity of its manufacturing andquality control process, given that itʼs a personalized medicine, and its approval andindustrialization in Japan, the U.S., and Europe alongside other regenerative medicalproducts.CAR-T cell therapy 1 is a treatment that has the ability to harvest T cells frompatients, genetically modify them, and attack cancer, and has been put into practicaluse in leukemia and lymphoma, and is expected to be a treatment that can aim fora cure with a single dose. However, in Japan, where there is no sufficient pricingsystem and medical fee system to evaluate the advanced and complex process ofCAR-T cell therapy, sufficient investment in new research and development iscurrently underway. Furthermore, since the number of countries and regions thatcan produce CAR-T cells is limited, there are concerns that Japan will face the issueof drug lag and drug loss from the perspective of manufacturing priorities.In order to improve this situation and develop regenerative medical productssustainably, it is important to build an ecosystem where more patients can receiveinnovative medical care. In formulating this white paper, we will deepen discussionswith experts on the medical economy, technology development of regenerativemedical products, and medical treatment, clarify the barriers to the practicalapplication of regenerative medical products and the formation of an ecosystemthat supports them, and publish this white paper as a proposal for solutions.The need to build an ecosystem for regenerative medicinal productsRegenerative medical products are groundbreaking technologies that offerinnovative treatments, but there are numerous challenges that need to be overcomefrom the research stage through to actual patient treatment. For example, duringthe research and development phase, it is necessary to address various issuesrelated to cell and tissue processing. Additionally, it is essential to establish aspecialized system for the stable supply of these products, one which requiresunique processes such as cell culture and handling. Once a stable supply system isestablished, these products must undergo evaluation by various regulatoryauthorities to ensure that they can be provided by medical institutions.To sustainably operate this entire process as an "ecosystem," it is essential toreinvest the outcomes from actual clinical practice, as well as the insights andrevenue gained, into the research, development, and manufacturing of the nextcycle. This enables the development of next-generation products. Ensuring thisecosystem cycle operates sustainably will make it more likely that innovativemedical treatments can be delivered to more patients, while simultaneously1 CAR-T cell therapy: A completely personalized treatment method in which T cells, a type of lymphocytefrom a patient, are collected and reprogrammed to have the function technology, and the cells areproliferated and administered to the patient himself.achieving growth of the sector and advancements in medical care.Benefits of establishing an ecosystem of regenerative medical productsBenefits for Japan's healthcare environmentProducing regenerative medical products domestically for Japanese patients canaddress global manufacturing and storage limitations, ensuring a sustainable supply.This will bring many benefits to patients and their families. Since a single dose canprovide a high therapeutic effect, it is expected that patients who have requiredlong-term hospitalization can return to society as soon as possible, improve theirquality of life, increase treatment options, and reduce physical, mental, andeconomic burdens. Moreover, it is expected to meet the current demand as well asthe therapeutic needs of various diseases such as autoimmune diseases in the future.Benefits for human resource activityThe spread of regenerative medical products can create a place for highly skilledhuman resources related to biotechnology in Japan to play an active role in thefields of R&D and manufacturing. It can alleviate the burden on healthcare workers,allowing them to focus on treating other diseases, and enable patients who havebeen cured of severe illnesses—and their families—to become active again,contributing immeasurably to society and the economy.Benefits for international competitivenessTechnologies related to regenerative medical products have the potential tobecome the foundation of Japan's biotechnology industry, leading to theacceleration of research and development starting in Japan. This is expected todevelop into opportunities for international leadership, expanding Japan's influencein Asia and globally.Actions and Policies Necessary for the Dissemination and Sustainability ofRegenerative Medical ProductsRecommendation 1:Reform of the pricing system and medical fee system to promote the spreadof regenerative medical productsJapan's healthcare insurance system operates on a principle of universal healthcoverage, providing an environment conducive to receiving advanced treatments.By keeping prices low, Japan facilitates rapid and extensive insurancereimbursement, whereas in Europe, high pricing set by companies often results indelayed reimbursement due to cost-effectiveness evaluations.

3236698	无图 <p>By: Dionisio Babo Soares</p><p>The dispute over Judge Carmona’s eligibility erupted this year (2025), swiftly exposing a yawning gap in Timor-Leste’s constitutional architecture. This controversy over the appointment of Judge Afonso Carmona as President of Timor-Leste’s Court of Appeal crystallizes fundamental questions about the balance between executive prerogative and judicial independence. At its heart lies the constitutional amendment embodied in Article 2 of Law No. 4/2025, which expanded the pool of eligible candidates for the Court of Appeal presidency to include ordinary judges, rather than reserving that office exclusively for members of the Supreme Court. The Court of Appeal’s July 31, 2025, ruling that this amendment exceeded constitutional limits has generated a fierce debate over the proper contours of separation of powers and the mechanisms through which the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (CRDTL) can be invoked to police legislative and executive action.</p><p>The philosophical underpinnings of this dispute draw on Montesquieu’s articulation of the separation of powers and A.V. Dicey’s conception of the rule of law, both of which emphasize that no branch of government should usurp functions reserved to another. In the Timorese context, the Constitution vests judicial organization and the appointment of appellate judges in a framework designed to safeguard judicial autonomy from political interference. As Hans Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law reminds us, constitutional norms occupy the apex of a normative hierarchy and must govern the creation and application of all subordinate legal acts. By altering the composition of the judiciary’s leadership, can the amendment threaten to invert that hierarchy and blur the accountability channels between the executive and the judiciary?</p><p>Judicial independence, a cornerstone of democratic constitutionalism, requires formal guarantees against removal or undue influence and substantive protections that ensure courts can adjudicate without fear or favor. Legal theorists such as John Hart Ely have argued that the legitimacy of judicial review derives from transparent procedures and clear lines of authority. In requiring that the President of the Court of Appeal be chosen from the Supreme Court bench, the original text of Law No. 4/2014 provided an internal checks-and-balances mechanism within the judiciary. By extending eligibility to ordinary judges, the ruling implies, the 2025 amendment risked diluting the signals of seniority and shared institutional culture that bind the judiciary together, potentially subjecting the appellate bench’s leadership to external influence.</p><p>The Court of Appeal’s decision turned on a close reading of Articles 106 and 107 of the Constitution, which delineate the powers of the President of the Republic, the Parliament, and the judiciary. In what is seen as a landmark interpretation, the Court held that the legislature’s amendment to Law No. 4/2025 violated the non-delegation principle implicit in Articles 104 and 125, which protect judicial functionaries from ad hoc expansions of executive authority. By insisting that the law contravened the Constitution’s structural commitments to an independent judiciary, the Court affirmed its role as guardian of constitutional integrity, exercising “fiscalização abstracta da constitucionalidade”, a preventive review of normative acts to ensure they comport with higher norms.</p><p>President of the Republic, José Ramos-Horta, rejected the Court’s ruling as procedurally flawed, insisting that he had a constitutional right to be heard in any dispute concerning his decrees. His position drew upon the due‐process guarantees enshrined in Article 37 of the CRDTL, which speak to the right of any public official to defend against allegations before a final determination. The President pointed to the absence of formal notification to his office as a violation of fundamental procedural fairness and raised questions about potential conflicts of interest among some magistrates. Framing the decision as an overreach of judicial authority, he emphasized that Carmona’s 24 years of service fully satisfy the Constitution’s 20-year requirement for appointment.</p><p>The Ministry of Justice, aligning with the President, reiterated its confidence in Judge Carmona and characterized his appointment as part of a broader judicial modernization program. Emphasizing that the amendment facilitating Carmona’s appointment formed only one element of reforms to enhance access to justice, the Ministry urged serenity and mutual respect in public debate. Drawing parallels to Brazilian and Portuguese experiences of judicial reform, government supporters argued that expanding the talent pool for court leadership could inject fresh perspectives into the judiciary and break insular decision-making patterns, thereby reinforcing, rather than undermining, judicial capacity.</p><p>By contrast, opposition parties FRETILIN and the PLP invoked Articles 150 through 155 of the Constitution to request “fiscalização abstracta” before the promulgation of the law. Their preventive review petition underscored fears that the amendment would tilt the balance of power excessively toward the presidency and weaken the courts’ internal self‐governance. Echoing Montesquieu’s warning about “the accumulation of legislative and executive authority in the same hands,” these parties argued that only a rigorous constitutional vetting process could avert a long‐term erosion of institutional checks and balances. The Ombudsman and civil‐society legal experts added that ignoring the Court’s declaration could trigger a constitutional crisis and potential criminal liability under Article 130 of the Penal Code for abuse of function.</p><p>“Fiscalização abstracta”, as practiced in Timor-Leste until the Supreme Court of Justice is formally constituted, enables the Court of Appeal to review the normative content of laws in the abstract, detached from any concrete case or controversy. This mechanism, drawn from continental European models of constitutional adjudication, is integral to upholding the rule of law. Without it, the judiciary would be forced into case‐by‐case drills that risk delaying relief and perpetuating unconstitutional norms in the interim. Indeed, Kelsenian theory suggests that the preventive orientation of abstract review is essential to maintaining systemic coherence between statutory enactments and constitutional mandates.</p><p>In the present standoff, Judge Carmona’s legal status rests on the intersection of competing constitutional claims. His appointment by Presidential Decree No. 35/2025 stands on a shaky procedural foundation, yet it has not been formally revoked. The Court of Appeal’s ruling invalidates the enabling amendment but stops short of ordering his removal, a gap that leaves Carmona’s presidency in limbo. The President and Government’s steadfast support underlines enforcement and underscores the absence of a higher constitutional tribunal capable of issuing binding decisions in disputes between the political branches.</p><p>This institutional ambiguity raises pressing theoretical concerns about the durability of rule‐of‐law norms in nascent democracies such as Timor-Leste. The normative order becomes susceptible to dueling interpretations when the apex constitutional adjudicator lacks finality. As Dworkin posits in Law’s Empire, the integrity of law depends upon principled coherence generated through authoritative interpretation. In Timor-Leste’s case, the delay in establishing the Supreme Court of Justice undermines that authoritative function, inviting forum-shopping and legal uncertainty.</p><p>The tension between the Superior Council of the Judiciary and the executive branch further accentuates the stakes. The Council disputes Carmona’s eligibility on procedural grounds and has signaled that it may refuse to recognize decisions issued under his oversight. Such institutional non‐recognition risks paralyzing appellate review and eroding public confidence in the judiciary. Comparative experience in Eastern Europe demonstrates that litigation grids can leave citizens without clear avenues for redress when judicial councils and executive offices collide.</p><p>Beyond administrative paralysis, the legal implications can extend to criminal liability. Suppose judgments signed by Carmona as President of the Court of Appeal were later invalidated. In that case, questions will arise about whether executive or judicial actors responsible for their promulgation could face sanctions for issuing unlawful acts. Under the Penal Code’s provisions on abuse of office, knowingly applying an unconstitutional statute can constitute a crime, exposing judges and executive officials to potential prosecution. Such risks underscore the systemic need for precise, binding constitutional mechanisms to resolve conflicts expeditiously.</p><p>The absence of a Supreme Court of Justice, a specialized constitutional tribunal empowered to render final decisions, looms large in this saga. Constitutional design theory teaches us that a hierarchical court system with a dedicated constitutional chamber is essential for unifying interpretive practices and containing conflicts between branches. The delay in operationalizing this institution exacerbates the Carmona predicament and signals broader governance challenges in legal infrastructure.</p><p>Ethical dimensions of the controversy are equally salient. Allegations that the Superior Council of the Judiciary may have misrepresented procedural facts in its advisory opinions call for an inquiry into possible breaches of duty and abuse of function. Upholding judicial ethics codes and ensuring transparent disciplinary processes are prerequisites for maintaining public trust. Whether through parliamentary oversight committees or independent ombudsperson inquiries, institutional accountability must follow the rule‐based logic articulated in Articles 140 and 141 of the CRDTL.</p><p>In conclusion, the Carmona affair is not simply a dispute over one appointment but a litmus test for Timor-Leste’s commitment to constitutionalism, separation of powers, and the rule of law. Theoretical insights from Kelsen, Dworkin, and Montesquieu converge to remind us that without clear hierarchies of norms, final adjudicatory authority, and robust procedural safeguards, the promise of an independent judiciary can falter. Timor-Leste’s legislature, executive, and judiciary must collaborate to establish the Supreme Court of Justice without delay, refine the procedures for abstract constitutional review, and reinforce the ethical frameworks that govern judicial appointments. Only by doing so can the nation secure the foundations of its hard-won democracy and ensure that future conflicts are resolved within the stable, predictable structures envisioned by its Constitution.
