About this study

Official title: Project 2 (Mayo): Transfusion-Induced Alterations of Pulmonary and Immune Function in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Specific aim: To test whether transfusion of leukoreduced red cells of lesser storage time (versus conventional storage time) reduces mild alterations in pulmonary function and immune activation in critically ill patients with mechanically ventilated lungs.

We propose to perform a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial in critically ill patients whose lungs are mechanically ventilated, and who have orders to receive transfusion of at least one unit of packed red cells, comparing pulmonary function between patients randomly allocated to receive a unit of red cells stored for 5 days or less, with similar patients randomly allocated to receive a unit of red cells stored conventionally (median 21 days). We will test the hypothesis that transfusion of red cells of lesser storage age, (5 days or less) will produce the less changes of pulmonary function and immune activation than will transfusion of red cells of conventional storage age (median 21 days).

What is being measured

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

  1. We will test the hypothesis that the transfusion of red cells of lesser storage age, (5 days or less) will produce less changes of pulmonary function and immune activation than will transfusion of red cells of conventional storage age (median 21 days).

    Measured: At the end of the transfusion as compared to the beginning of the transfusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RBC transfusion of 5 days or less storage age and RBC transfusion of conventional storage age in people with Pulmonary Edemas and Blood Protein Disorders, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2012. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

We will test the hypothesis that the transfusion of red cells of lesser storage age, (5 days or less) will produce less changes of pulmonary function and immune activation than will transfusion of red cells of conventional storage age (median 21 days). (time frame: At the end of the transfusion as compared to the beginning of the transfusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00751322, 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 31 Jan 2012.
