The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research
Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-129, December 20, 2005) as amended and
codified in Section 379A of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 247l), provides for the collection and maintenance of human
blood stem cells for the treatment of patients and research. The
Public Health Service Act requires the Secretary of HHS to contract
for the establishment and maintenance of information related to
patients who have received stem cell therapeutic products and to do
so using an electronic format. HRSA has established the Stem Cell
Therapeutic Outcomes Database (SCTOD), a component of the C.W. Bill
Young Cell Transplantation Program (Program), which necessitates
certain electronic record-keeping and reporting requirements to
perform functions related to hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation (HCT) under contract to HHS. Data are collected
from transplant centers by the Center for International Blood and
Marrow Transplant Research. They are used for ongoing analysis of
transplant outcomes to improve treatment and survival for patients
who may benefit from cellular therapies.

The number of responses
increased because the number of transplant centers SCTOD collects
from was increased to 182 from 178. Total burden hours for
pre-transplant collection increased because average burden
increased. Over time, there is an expected increase in the number
of recipients for whom data are reported, as the number of
transplants performed annually increases and survivorship after
transplantation improves. The total burden declined because average
burden per response for Transplant Procedure and Product
information decreased.
