Backroud New York Blood Ceter Data (bei preseted at ASH meeti)- Persoal commuicatio: Dr. Machi Scardavou Outcome data for patiets receivi NYBC uits: Uits stored for >8 years (N=43, media storae time: 9.2 years) compared to uits stored <2 years (N=300, media storae time: 1.1 years) Time to ANC recovery, raft failure rate ad overall survival were o differet betwee the two roups
Why the Recet Iterest i CB Stability? Draft FDA Guidace- December 2006: Applicable to Miimally Maipulated, Urelated, Alloeeic Placetal/Umbilical Cord Blood Iteded for Hematopoietic Recostitutio i Patiets with Hematoloical Maliacies Recommedatios for maufacturers for submissio of a bioloical licese applicatio (BLA)
Backroud Draft FDA Guidace- December 2006: Stability Testi (21 CFR 211.116) There must be a writte testi proram desied to assess the stability characteristics of HPC-C. Stability proram should iclude aalyses of product potecy, iterity ad sterility..results of such testi must be used i determii appropriate storae coditios ad expiratio dates Proram must iclude: Sample size ad test iterval Storae coditio Reliable, meaiful ad specific test methods Testi of the HPC-C i the same cotaier-closure system as that i which the HPC-C is marketed Adequate umber of HPC-C must be tested to determie a appropriate expiratio date

3-Part Proposed Pla Part I: Retrospective testi Evaluati uits already stored Part II: Prospective testi Stori uits for purpose of stability evaluatio Part III: Cliical Outcome Aalysis As data becomes available o trasplated uits
Variables Automated versus Maual Processi Method Not icluded i pla- data from both methods has show equivalet products Cell Cocetratio To avoid loss of uits with hih ucleated cell cout, majority of uits selected for testi may have lower cell cocetratio
Part 1: Retrospective Testi # of uits to be tested for each year: 10 (oldest uit: 2 years) Use either the 20% or 80% fractio Some later time, will use the other fractio Quality cotrol parameters evaluated over time, up to 10 years: Total of 100 uits eeded Usi the two fractios for evaluatio, reduces the # to 50 May be used to compare results from two fractios If 10 year data acceptable, cotiue for additioal years Additioal uits tested yearly
Part 2: Prospective Testi Projected # of uits to be collected aually: 2500 # of uits to be stored for testi: 25 (1% of total) Withi 30 days from stori: Semet thaw for viability ad CFU testi- Baselie Year 5: 5mL fractio thaw (5-year stability) Year 10: 20mL fractio from same uit tested (10-year stability)

Summary Stability testi proram at each Cord Blood Bak may be differet. Number of uits available, ae ad type of uits should be cosidered i proram developmet. Sice each uit is truly a sile batch, baks face uique challees whe developi a stability proram. Early discussio with FDA is extremely importat. Miimizi loss of very valuable uits for cliical trasplatatio should be cosidered. Ca published cliical outcome data be used i support of stability testi?
