About this study

Official title: Calculation of Platelet-rich Plasma Preparation Yield From Baseline CBC Platelet Count

This is a study to determine 1) the consistency of platelet-rich plasma produced by several methods, and 2) whether the platelet content of platelet-rich plasma can be accurately estimated from a baseline CBC platelet count.

Read the detailed description

In the first phase of this study a baseline CBC platelet count will be performed on each subject and then platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the same blood sample by six different methods. The platelet count will be measured in each PRP preparation and compared to the CBC platelet count to determine the platelet yield for each method.

In the second phase of the study a baseline CBC platelet count will be performed on each subject and then platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the same blood sample by six different methods. The CBC platelet count will be used to calculate the estimated platelet content of each sample/method based on the platelet yields determined in the first phase. The platelet count will be measured in each PRP preparation and compared to the estimated platelet content to determine the predictive accuracy for each method.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • venipunctureProcedure or surgery

    blood draw for the purpose of determining the platelet concentration in PRP

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Platelet yield

    the number of platelets in a PRP sample as a percentage of the number of platelets in the blood from which the PRP was prepared.

    Measured: within 8 hours of blood draw

  2. Platelet yield estimate accuracy

    standard deviation of the difference between the estimated platelet yield and the actual platelet yield.

    Measured: within one month of final data collection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Platelet-rich Plasma Production, run by Harrison, Theodore, M.D. at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Platelet yield (time frame: within 8 hours of blood draw). The study lists 2 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 10 Aug 2017.
