FDA Recommended Safeguards for Minimizing Risk of vCJD from Blood Products: Deferral of donors based on risk of BSE exposure • June 2, 1999 TSEAC • Guidance to Industry November 11, 1999 • Donor deferrals undertaken concurrent with a commitment to monitor the blood supply (estimated loss 2%) • Donor deferrals recommended for: • travel/residence in U.K. for >six months between 1980- 1996 • Receipt of bovine insulin sourced in the U.K. after 1980 • Product retrieval recommended if donor later discovered to have vCJD
Estimation of Residual Potential Donor Exposure to BSE/vCJDAfter November, 1999 Guidance
FDA Recommended Safeguards for Minimizing Risk of vCJD from Blood Products: Deferral of donors based on risk of BSE exposure • June 18-19, 2001 TSEAC • Guidance to Industry January, 2002 • Added donor deferrals for risk of BSE exposure in Europe • Tightened U.K. donor deferral • Called for implementation in two phases by 5/02 and 10/02 • Estimated 90% reduction in risk with cumulative loss of 7% of donor base
FDA Recommended Safeguards for Minimizing Risk of vCJD from Blood Products: Deferral of donors based on risk of BSE exposure • Donor currently are deferred based on the following criteria: > 3 months residence/travel in U.K. 1980 - 1996 > 5 years residence/travel in Europe • For donors of Source Plasma this criterion applies only to France (5-10% consumption of UK beef) > 6 months on certain US military bases in Europe between 1980-1990 or 1980-1996 (up to 35% UK beef consumed) Transfusion in the U.K. 1980 – present Receipt of bovine insulin sourced in the U.K. after 1980
Impact of 2001 Recommendations on US Donor Base • 1999 donor travel survey estimated 5.0% overall donor loss with higher loss in coastal areas. • Actual impact discussed at June 27, 2002 BPAC. • Geographic areas with concentrations of military donors hit hard • Observed on-site deferrals (0.1 – 3.5%) underestimated true donor loss • Blood supply has been particularly difficult to maintain over past several years.
