~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The year is 2011. Tens of thousands of patients around the US can now work with their doctors to get safe adult stem cell therapy. Hundreds of physicians now use regenerative medicine to cure disease instead of just managing disease. To do this, they have worked together to open autologous, adult stem cell (A-ASC) labs. Patients no longer have to leave the country to get stem cell care and as a result of competition, prices have fallen so that stem cell therapy is within the reach of many more patients. In addition, since there is a common registry to track outcomes and complications data, insurance coverage is on the horizon.
This vision just got allot closer today. ASCTA is proud to announce the on-line publication of its clinical guidelines. These guidelines form the foundation of how to balance stem safety with access. Since pharma based guidelines have had to contend with translating all types of stem cells from the lab to the bedside (including many types that need much more research before they can be used safely), they have been forced to take an approach that will take decades to fully complete. ASCTA takes the safest adult stem cell type (your own cells) and limits what can be done to those cells in culture. By doing this, the risks of stem cell therapy drop substantially. In addition, ASCTA then places further reasonable restrictions on how these cells can be used for treatment. The key is that the ASCTA guidelines can grant substantially more access more quickly while still allowing maximum safety.
