The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research
Act of 2005 provides for the collection and maintenance of human
blood stem cells for the treatment of patients and research. HRSA's
Healthcare Systems Bureau has established the Stem Cell Therapeutic
Outcomes Database. Operation of this database necessitates certain
record keeping and reporting requirements in order to perform the
functions related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under
contract to the HHS. The Act requires the Secretary to contract for
the establishment and maintenance of information related to
patients who have received stem cell therapeutic products and to do
so using a standardized, electronic format. Data is collected from
transplant centers by the Center for International Blood and Marrow
Transplant Research and is used for ongoing analysis of transplant
outcomes. HRSA uses the information in order to carry out its
statutory responsibilities. Information is needed to monitor the
clinical status of transplantation and to provide the Secretary of
HHS with an annual report of transplant center-specific survival
data. The increase in burden, as reflected in this revised
submission request, is due to an increase in the annual number of
transplants and increasing survivorship after
transplantation.
