The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research
Act of 2005, Public Law (Pub. L.) 109–129, as amended by the Stem
Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2015, Public
Law 114-104 (the Act), 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 U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (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 is due to an increase in the annual
number of transplants and increasing survivorship after
transplantation.

There will be a gradual
increase in the cumulative reporting burden over time commensurate
with the number of survivors for which transplant centers must
submit an Annual Post-TED.
