SPEAR Communication | Donor Care | The SPEAR committee has received reports of adverse events related to mis-labelling. One case resulted in infusion of the wrong product into a patient with a fatal outcome. Two cases related to re-labelling of products with ISBT labels. Mis-labelling adverse events can occur at all steps of the collection and processing pathway. The committee has issued a statement stressing the importance of correct labelling.

SPEAR Communication | Donor Care | 2023/08 SPEAR Communication: Preventing Unnecessary Donations | The impact of late cancellations on unnecessary donations was discussed with the SPEAR committee. A The critical component missing in the SPEAR cases discussed was closed loop communication. Therefore, the committee would like to highlight the importance of person-person communication to prevent unnecessary donation. The committee will continue to collaborate with the WMDA project group on back-up donors management and supports their soon to be published guidance.

SPEAR Communication | Donor Care | 2024/04 SPEAR Communication: HPC Products Missing in Transport | The SPEAR Committee received multiple reports of serious incidents involving product loss during transport. Two items were recovered, another was not. To prevent such similar incidents in the future, the SPEAR Committee publishes recommendations on best practices, emphasizing the need for thorough training, the importance of constant visual product control, and an assessment of the courier's readiness for traveling, including their capability for handling complicated journeys, in alignment with WMDA Standards and Transport Guidelines. Additional guidance on, but not limited to, non-air travel management is endorsed by the committee. Read it here: PDC.1305.COMM.HPC Products Missing in Transport.pdf | Current (2024) |

Donor Care | The Lancet (2022) DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2352-3026(22)00184-3 | The contribution of related donors to the globally rising number of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCT) remains increasingly important, particularly because of the growing use of haploidentical HSCT. Compared with the strict recommendations on the suitability for unrelated donors, criteria for related donors allow for more discretion and vary between centres. In 2015, the donor outcome committee of the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) proposed consensus recommendations of suitability criteria for paediatric and adult related donors. This Review provides updates and additions to these recommendations from a panel of experts with global representation, including the WBMT, the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation donor outcome committee, the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research donor health and safety committee, the US National Marrow Donor Program, and the World Marrow Donor Association, after review of the current literature and guidelines. Sections on the suitability of related donors who would not qualify as unrelated donors have been updated. Sections on communicable diseases, clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential, paediatric aspects including psychological issues, and reporting on serious adverse events have been added. The intention of this Review is to support decision making, with the goal of minimising the medical risk to the donor and protecting the recipient from transmissible diseases. | NA | |

Foundation | Position paper on Unproven Cell-Based Therapies: Current Global Status and Recommendations to the World Health Organization (not yet publicly available, to be added after approval of WBMT) | Direct-to-consumer marketing of unproven cell-based interventions has progressively become a global serious public health concern. Among cell therapeutics we can broadly distinguish immune cells (unmodified or gene modified natural killer T-cells) and stem cell-based interventions. Currently, there is a limited number of both immune and stem cell products with market authorization1 and the current state of scientific evidence does not justify the use of most cell-based interventions outside of well-designed, strictly supervised and regulated clinical research studies. | Current (2020)NA | |
8.07 | Quality | Circular of Information for the Use of Cellular Therapy Products | The circular Circular of Information (Circular) for the Use of Cellular Therapy Products is intended to be an extension of the cellular therapy product label. It has been jointly prepared by the AABB the AABB Circular of Information for Cellular Therapies Therapy Products Task Force, which includes a collaborativegroup collaborative group of multiple nongovernmental organizations that represent the cellular therapy field. The US Food and Drug Administration and the Health Resources and Service Administration also participated in the development and review process. The Task Force intentionally limited its scope to only include minimally manipulated cellular therapy products such as peripheral blood progenitor cells, bone marrow, cord bloodand blood and leukocytes. The group recognizes there are multiple cellular therapy products that could not be adequately covered in the Circular. To accommodate this, the Circular includes multiple blank pages at the end of the document to allow for the addition of productorfacility product or facility specific information. | (Current (20182024) |
