There are two acts for regulation of regenerative medicines and cell therapy in Japan—The Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine (ASRM) and the Act on Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices (PMD Act). These two laws were enacted in November 2014. These laws fast track the process to the market for stem-cell-based treatments and other types of regenerative medicine. 

The Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine allows operating players to register a therapy under one of three risk categories. Furthermore, it allows clinics and hospitals to commercialize cellular therapies without going through the usual kinds of trials to prove that a medicine is effective. It is mandatory for a hospital to have a cell processing facility certified by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to offer cellular therapies. 

In addition, the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Act permits for conditional approval of therapies that have gone through some clinical testing. Companies are given the chance to promote a treatment across the country and get insurance payments; however, they are also required to gather additional efficacy data over a 7-year period.
