    Agenda

    On June 1, 2015, the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Advisory
    Committee will meet in open session to hear update presentations on the
    following topics: 1) the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) situation
    worldwide and an update on the United Kingdom’s Transfusion Medicine
    Epidemiological Review; 2) vCJD in the United States; and 3) the bovine
    spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) situation worldwide and the United States
    Department of Agriculture’s regulatory approaches to reduce the risk of
    food-borne exposure of BSE. Following the update presentations, in open
    session, the committee will hear presentations from FDA on current measures
    to reduce risk of vCJD from transfusion in the US, and a mathematical model
    of the risk reduction achievable under the current and alternative
    geographically based donor deferral policies in conjunction with leukocyte
    reduction of blood components. The Committee will then discuss FDA’s
    geographically based donor deferral policies and other strategies, including
    leukocyte reduction of blood components, to reduce the risk of
    transfusion-transmitted vCJD.
