Be The Match BioTherapies® Now Offers A Central Point of Access To Fully-Characterized Cord Blood Units for Commercial and Clinical Use

 The Be The Match Registry® includes more than 266,000 fully characterized CBUs, allowing for therapy-matched unit identification.

Be The Match BioTherapies® announced it is now providing cryopreserved Cord Blood Units as allogeneic cell therapy starting material for non-clinical, clinical, and commercial use. The Be The Match Registry®, with more than 266,000 fully-characterized cord blood units (CBU) from domestic cord blood banks, provides extensive characterization information about each CBU to allow for therapy-matched unit identification.

“The breadth of our cord blood unit registry and the depth of information we provide about each CBU aids developers as they source material for clinical trials, commercial use, or non-clinical research (RUO),” said Donna Regan, Senior Director, Customer Ready Products at NMDP/Be The Match. “Our team’s logistics and supply chain management experience ensure that temperature and time sensitive, cryopreserved CBUs safely arrive when and where they are needed.”

Since CBUs are processed and cryopreserved at multiple cord blood banks across the US, identifying the facilities with CBUs meeting specific characteristics can be challenging. Once located, developers must qualify and contract with each cord blood bank, which takes time and resources. Through a single point of access, Be The Match BioTherapies centralizes access to fully characterized CBUs through a Cord Blood Bank Alliance, effectively eliminating these challenges. The Cord Blood Bank Alliance is a cooperative association of NMDP/Be The Match and its network of member cord blood banks, formed to support the development and commercialization of emerging cell and therapies. These banks have an established history of manufacturing high-quality cord blood grafts and a demonstrated commitment to serving the needs of patients.

This service assures developers have access to cord blood units that are compliant with FDA Good Tissue and Manufacturing Practices, and a proven safety and efficacy record in human indications.
