Cellular Therapy Coding and Labeling Advisory Group

OVERVIEW

​

​

The Cellular Therapy Coding and Labeling Advisory Group (CTCLAG) was established in 2004. Its purpose is to advise ICCBBA of the needs of cellular therapy organizations for coding and labeling. Membership comprises representatives from major cellular therapy professional organizations: AABB, APBMT, ASTCT, ASFA, EBMT, FACT, ISBT, ISCT, JACIE, NMDP and WMDA. Additionally, the group has invited technical experts to serve as voting members on the group.

​

Liaisons from other organizations, primarily representing regulatory bodies, also attend meetings. 

​

Vendors and other interested parties attend meetings as observers at the discretion of the chairperson.

SUMMARY OF RECENT ACTIVITY

​

​

CTCLAG met face-to-face on October 18, 2024, in Houston, Texas. This was the group's first in-person meeting since June 2015. The group continues to schedule monthly conference calls.

 

The committee is discussing multiple topics, including nomenclature for extracellular vesicles, implementation perspectives on the ISBT 128 Standard Chain of Identity Identifier (ST-028), and updating the United States Consensus Guidance for the Uniform Labeling of Cellular Therapy Products Using ISBT 128 (IG-003).

 

ICCBBA hosted a webinar on the ISBT 128 CoI Identifier on September 24, 2024. The webinar featured external speakers from Stanford Health Care and Beam Therapeutics. The speakers shared CoI Identifier implementation perspectives from the collection/treatment center and the cell therapy manufacturer.

 

CTCLAG's 20th Anniversary is this year, and ICCBBA is scheduling an in-person meeting in New Orleans in May.
