About this study

The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that INTERCEPT platelet components stored for 7 days retain sufficient viability for therapeutic efficacy. The post-infusion recovery and lifespan of 7-day old INTERCEPT platelet components stored in 35% plasma and 65% InterSol or stored in 100% plasma, will be measured in comparison to "fresh" radiolabeled platelets according to FDA guidance for platelet testing (FDA 1999).

Read the detailed description

The two stages of this pilot study consist of the following: single or double-dose platelet apheresis collection, pathogen inactivation with INTERCEPT treatment, storage for 7 days, collection of fresh platelets, radiolabeling, infusion of fresh and stored INTERCEPT treated radiolabeled autologous platelets, and collection of blood samples for assessment of platelet recovery and survival (lifespan).

In Stage A, apheresis platelets will be collected using the Amicus separator and stored for 7 days in 35% Plasma and 65% InterSol.

In Stage B, apheresis platelets will be collected using the Trima separator and stored for 7 days in 100% plasma.

Procedures for both stages will be as follows: On Day 0, each healthy volunteer subject has apheresis platelets collected. INTERCEPT treatment will begin on either the day of donation (Day 0) or before the end of the day following donation (Day 1). Platelets will then be stored for 7 days after collection (Day 7). Aliquots for in vitro platelet function will be taken on Day 0/1 after INTERCEPT treatment and Day 7. An aliquot for bacterial detection will be taken on Day 5.

On Day 7, healthy volunteers will return to the laboratory, and 43 mL of blood will be drawn into a syringe containing 9 mL of Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose Solution, Formula A (ACD-A). Fresh platelets will be prepared from this sample. An aliquot (10-20 mL) of the stored (INTERCEPT treated) platelets will be aseptically removed from each subject's test container. Previously stored (Test) and fresh (Control) platelets will be radiolabeled according to randomization assignment with either 51Cr (≤20 μCi) as sodium radiochromate (Na251CrO4), or 111In (≤15 μCi) as indium oxine, following the labeling and washing procedures outlined by the Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion (BEST) Collaborative. The isotope labels will be determined by a random number table such that equal numbers of fresh and stored (INTERCEPT treated) platelets will be labeled with each isotope. Aliquots of the fresh and stored platelets will be radiolabeled in tubes with the standard techniques. After radiolabeling, the autologous fresh and stored platelets will be simultaneously infused into the subject (approximately 10-30 mL). Negative bacteria detection test and negative pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential are required before infusion.

Blood samples for radioactivity measurements will be drawn at 0 (pre-infusion), 0.5, 1, and 2 hours post-infusion, and then 6 more samples will be drawn 1, 2, 3, 4 (or 6), 7±1, and 10±1 days post-infusion. In addition, when logistically feasible, an additional sample will be obtained 5 days post-infusion (optional).

Radioactivity measurements Samples will be obtained from the radiolabeled fresh and stored platelets before infusion and used as a radioactive standard. By measuring the volume infused, the total dose of radioactivity infused will be calculated. In vitro elution of the label from the transfused platelets will be determined by two elution assessment methods, as well as the in vivo elution of radioactivity from the serial blood samples obtained post-infusion of the labeled platelets.

The standard as well as the subject's whole-blood samples will be corrected for elution and also for the residual activity in the cellular fraction on Day 8. The first four data points post-infusion will be used to calculate in vivo recoveries and survivals after all radioactive corrections have been made. The radioactivity of the samples will be determined by use of a gamma counter. A multiple-hit model, with a computerized program "COST," will be used to estimate the recovery and survival of the radioactively labeled platelets.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing INTERCEPT treated platelets in people with Healthy, run by Cerus Corporation.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post infusion recovery ratio of Test platelets at Day 7 compared to fresh platelets (time frame: Day 7). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2017.
