Management for HSC collected from related donor living in Maghreb for a patient transplanted in a France (SFGM-TC)

Human stem cell (bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cell and mononuclear cell) transplantation from donors living outside France for allogeneic graft to patients transplanted in a francophone centers is likely to develop with Maghreb countries associated with the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC). Considering requirements from JACIE (version 8, soon version 9) and the good practices for cellular therapy, the SFGM-TC decided to create a working group to align France and Maghreb on common documents and procedures to facilitate human stem cell collection considering the following criteria: journey and care of foreign donor, information document, medical prescription, labelling, transport and import authorization of blood samples and grafts. This work requires collaboration with the French Biomedical Agency that provides connection between the medical center of recipient patient and the medical center of foreign donor registered on the World Marrow Donor Association.
