Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy donors or related/unrelated donors scheduled to undergo peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell apheresis; if autologous collection is performed for the patient, the sample may be included in the process validation cohort as an exploratory sample.
  • Donors meet current standards for hematopoietic stem cell donation and apheresis, and the investigator judges that PBSC collection can be completed.
  • The corresponding recipient is scheduled to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using PBSC as the graft source.
  • Both the donor and recipient have signed informed consent; if only ex vivo testing of the collection product is performed and recipient outcome analysis is not included, informed consent may be obtained only from the donor and as required by relevant ethics requirements.

Who cannot join

  • Donors with severe organ dysfunction or other conditions considered unsuitable for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization and apheresis, including any of the following:
  • Cardiovascular dysfunction: New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV heart failure, or clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled severe arrhythmia, unstable angina, or recent myocardial infarction.
  • Pulmonary dysfunction: resting hypoxemia or severe pulmonary dysfunction that may compromise the safety of PBSC mobilization or apheresis.
  • Hepatic dysfunction: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), decompensated cirrhosis, or other severe active liver disease.
  • Renal dysfunction: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤30 mL/min/1.73 m² or requirement for dialysis.
  • Coagulation disorders: active bleeding or clinically significant coagulation abnormalities considered to substantially increase the risk of bleeding associated with venipuncture, central venous catheterization, or apheresis; Infection: active, uncontrolled severe infection.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Other conditions that, in the opinion of the donor-evaluating physician, may substantially increase the risks associated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilization or PBSC apheresis.
  • A reliable closed collection system is not expected to be established during apheresis, or the required sampling cannot be completed.
  • Research sampling of the collection product cannot be performed due to urgent clinical reasons.
  • The investigator judges that participation in the study may increase unacceptable risks to the donor or recipient.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Exploratory Study on the Impact of a Closed Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Collection Procedure Based on Reducing Gas-Phase Oxygen Exposure on Graft Functional Quality and Early Engraftment Kinetics in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This study aims to establish a closed PBSC collection procedure with reduced gas-phase oxygen exposure and to verify its impact on graft functional quality and clinical engraftment efficiency. To evaluate whether an apheresis procedure involving adequate priming with sterile saline to eliminate gas-phase air, followed by collection into a closed collection bag without gas-phase air exposure, creates a relatively low-oxygen collection environment, and to explore its effects on CD34⁺ HSPC function and early engraftment kinetics after transplantation.

Participants will: Be prospectively and consecutively enrolled. The experimental procedure involves adequate priming of the apheresis circuit and collection bag with sterile saline, elimination of visible gas-phase air, followed by closed PBSC collection. Donors in the control group will undergo the center's previous standard PBSC collection procedure.

The pO₂ of the collection product will serve as the core indicator for process validation. CD34⁺ HSPC functional indicators will also be assessed, and recipient engraftment kinetics will be followed up.
