2 History One Match Stem Cell and Marrow Network: Recruits health, unrelated, volunteer blood stem cell donors Coordinates the collection and delivery of blood stem cells 10 th largest registry in the world Consists of the unrelated Adult Registry and the National Public Cord Blood Bank

3 What are Stem Cells? We collect Hematopoietic Stem Cells, or blood forming stem cells Can develop into any type of specialized blood cell RBCs WBCs Platelets These are NOT embryonic stem cells 3

4 3 Sources of Stem Cells Bone Marrow Peripheral Blood Stem Cells Cord Blood 4

5 Who Needs Stem Cells? Stem Cell Transplants are used to treat over 80 diseases and disorders: Cancer, such as leukemia, lymphoma or myelomas Bone Marrow deficiency diseases caused by abnormal RBC production, such as thalassemia or sickle cell disease Aplastic anemia Inherited immune system and metabolic disorders 5

6 The Need A National Public Cord Blood Bank is needed for Canada: Canada s population is uniquely ethnically diverse Almost 1000 patients on waiting list at any time 50% of Canadian patients who need an unrelated blood stem cell transplant unable to find a match Ethnic Composition of OneMatch Network searchable registrants= 70% Caucasian Canada was the only G7 country without a national public cord blood bank. 6

7 Why Unrelated Donors? Leila, OneMatch Registrant & whole blood donor HLA Typing: inherited genetic markers Only 25% of patients have a match in family This is why CBS maintains the OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network- a network of Canadians who are ready to donate to any patient in need. 7

8 Why Cord Blood Low risk to mother or newborn baby Collected in advance, tested and frozen, ready to use More lenient HLA matching- increased chance to find a suitable donor Lower incidence of Graft vs Host Disease (GvHD) Unit is small, enough for a child or small adult 2 Cord Blood Units (CBUs) needed for adults Cost = ~$40,000/CBU purchased internationally Free for Canadian Transplant Centers 8

9 Official Announcement The National Public Cord Blood Bank: Announced in 2011 $48 million dollar investment by provincial and territorial ministers of health (excluding Quebec) Canadian Blood Services raised $12.5 million as part of our commitment

10 Our Goal Goal of the National Public Cord Blood Bank: Increase the number of stem cell donors of all ethnicities Decrease patient wait times for a matched donor Reduce Canada s reliance on internationally sourced cord blood stem cell donation
