Detailed Description
Sickle cell disease (SCD) carries significant morbidity as a result of red blood cell (RBC) sickling and hemolysis. Stroke is one of the most devastating sequelae of SCD. Chronic transfusion therapy (CTT) reduces stroke risk by supplying normal, non-sickle RBC to circulation, thereby reducing the percentage of endogenous sickle RBC in circulation, and maintaining a higher hemoglobin (Hb), thereby suppressing erythropoiesis of new sickle RBC. While the efficacy of CTT in stroke prophylaxis is well-established, nearly 45% of children continue to have silent or overt strokes despite CTT. The failure of CTT to prevent stroke events may be related to inadequate reduction of circulating sickle RBC and erythropoiesis. The amount of circulating sickle-RBC is related to the survival kinetics of both transfused RBC and endogenous sickle RBC.
In a large, longitudinal analysis of CTT in SCD, the researchers found wide variation in the survival of donor RBC following transfusion, with faster clearance associated with patient immune features (historical RBC alloimmunization and spleen presence) and with donor RBC glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. To better understand the roles of patient and donor factors in the survival and clearance of transfused RBC, the researchers propose a mechanistic, clinical trial during chronic transfusion episodes in patients with SCD, in which a small aliquot of each transfused unit is labeled with biotin conjugated to RBC surface proteins, to safely identify and measure the in vivo survival of donor RBC.
Aim 1 will examine the relationships of the recipient's immune system (past alloimmunization, splenic volume, and markers of reticuloendothelial system function) on the post-transfusion survival of biotin-labeled donor RBC.
Aim 2 will examine the relationships of donor RBC G6PD levels and donor RBC metabolomics with the in vivo survival and changes in donor RBC senescence markers. Completion of these aims will increase the understanding of mechanisms for the variability in RBC survival during CTT, identifying donor and recipient risk factors for decreased RBC survival. Ultimately this knowledge will inform the management of CTT to improve the prevention of strokes in SCD.
Aim 3 will compare the in vivo survival and clearance rate of phenotype-matched RBCs prepared with an investigational pathogen-reduction system (INTERCEPT Blood System) vs. the in vivo survival and clearance rate of conventional, phenotype-matched RBCs (not treated with INTERCEPT). Biotin labeling of donor RBC will be used to measure RBC survival. This is an optional study activity for study participants.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Biotin labeled Red Blood Cells
Participants receiving a transfusion with biotin labeled RBCs.
Samples will be taken for 12 weeks after the biotinylated transfusion.
During this time participants will continue to receive regular monthly transfusions (non-biotinylated) as part of CTT.
|
On the day of transfusion, a 20 mL aliquot will be sterilely withdrawn from each RBC unit, washed and labeled with sulfo-NHS-biotin for 30 minutes, washed to stop the labeling reaction, then resuspended in plasma to a hematocrit of ~60%.
The biotin-labeled RBC (BioRBC) will be transfused along with the remainder of the RBC unit (unlabeled volume).
Standard blood bank and CTT protocols and minor antigen matching for SCD patients will be followed.
Exact transfusion volume will be determined based on pre-transfusion hemoglobin (Hb), sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS), and body weight, per clinical protocol.
In addition to the blood drawn for the main study, individuals participating in this optional intervention will have additional tubes of peripheral venous blood will be drawn for evaluating treatment-emergent antibodies specific to INTERCEPT RBCs and acridine surface label monitoring.
Tests for treatment-emergent antibodies specific to INTERCEPT RBCs will be performed according to procedures developed by Cerus Corporation.
