IMPROVE: Inactivation of Whole Blood With Mirasol (R): Performance in Red Blood Cells, Platelets and Plasma Investigation

Feasibility trial to evaluate recovery and survival of red blood cells (RBCs) from Mirasol-treated whole blood

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Radiolabeling of red blood cells (RBCs) followed by infusion back to the donor is commonly used to test the quality of RBCs in a person. By measuring the level of radioisotope in a blood sample, these tests evaluate what percentage of the RBCs remain in the bloodstream after 24 hours (recovery) and can predict how long the RBCs will remain in circulation (survival). The IMPROVE trial is a feasibility trial to evaluate these parameters in RBCs obtained from whole blood units that have been treated with the Mirasol System.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Red Blood Cell (RBC) Recovery
Time Frame: 24-hour post autologous infusion of RBCs
The 24-hour recovery calculation was conducted to evaluate the percentage of labeled RBCs remaining in the circulation 24 hours after re-infusion of the cells, as compared to Time 0 measurements (time of re-infusion). FDA requires at least 75% recovery for new RBC processes.
24-hour post autologous infusion of RBCs

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Predicted Total Lifespan of Red Blood Cells (RBCs), Based on 28-day RBC Survival
Time Frame: 28-days post autologous infusion of RBCs
The objective of measuring 28-day survival was to identify the potential total lifespan of labeled RBCs in circulation. Normal, native RBCs remain in circulation for a maximum of approximately 120 days; by using the 51Cr half-life of approximately 28 days, and its elution rate from labeled RBCs, the survival of the labeled cells can be predicted.
