(18) Advanced therapy medicinal products that are prepared incidentally and exceptionally on a non-routine basis according to specific quality standards, and used within the same Member State in a hospital under the exclusive professional responsibility of a medical practitioner, in order to comply with an individual medical prescription for a product custom-made product forto meet the special needs of an individual patient, should be excluded from the scope of this Directive whilst at the same time ensuring that relevant Union rules related to quality and safety are not undermined (‘hospital exemption’). The use of hospital exemption should apply only where there is neither a centrally authorised medicinal product nor a relevant clinical trial or compassionate use program for the same indication with an advanced therapy medicinal product for which the patient is eligible in the Union. The manufacturing of such products should not result in any one of the following conditions over the course a year: (i) standardised process; (ii) repetitive process; (iii) process involving pre-planning other than that which is required for an urgent ad-hoc situation. Experience has shown that there are great differences in the application of hospital exemption among Member States. To improve the application of hospital exemption this Directive introduces measures for collection, reporting of data as well as review of these data yearly by the competent authorities and their publication by the Agency in a repository. Furthermore, the Agency should provide a report on the implementation of hospital exemption on the basis of contributions from Member States in order to examine whether an adapted framework should be established for certain less complex ATMPs that have been developed and used under the hospital exemptionall stakeholders. When an authorisation for the manufacturing and use of an ATMP under hospital exemption is revoked because of safety concerns, the relevant competent authorities shall inform the competent authorities of other Member States.
