DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The study had two objectives. The first objective was to investigate changes in immune function which may have occurred as a result of blood, plasma, or platelet donations. Preliminary studies had shown evidence of alterations in immune parameters in normal apheresis donors with the most marked changes occurring in long-term plasmapheresis donors. To ascertain whether donation of blood or blood products altered specific immune parameters, studies were conducted on white blood cell (WBC) receptors known to be involved in normal host defense mechanisms, lymphocyte subpopulations, plasma proteins, and complement activation products from 30 individuals in each of four separate donor groups: whole blood donors, bulk plasma donors, plasma donors stimulated with incompatible RBC, and platelet donors. Donor immune data were compared with results in nondonor controls and were also correlated with demographic data, donation history, laboratory data, and clinical findings. The second objective of the study was to determine if changes in an individual donor's immune status occurred over time. A longitudinal study of 15 new donors in each donation group was performed to evaluate alterations in immune function that may have occurred in committed donors of blood products and whether there was any clinical significance to the findings. New donors were enrolled in donation groups and followed longitudinally for a period of up to two years.

The study was extended through January, 1997 on FY 1995 funds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Disease and Blood Donors, run by University of New Mexico.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2024. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Not a clinical trial and was inadvertently entered in the system.). 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005341, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Mar 2024.
