Read the detailed description

The aim of this work is to study the changes of key assays useful for the understanding of anemia mechanism before and after red packed cells transfusion: iron status, vitamin assays, hemolysis markers.

The patient selection criteria are:

  • age > or = 18 years
  • No history of transfusion > or = 2 years
  • Anemia (any etiology known or assumed)
  • Decision of red packed cells transfusion for the current episode
  • Transfusion performed at BEAUJON Hospital
  • Agreement of patient for the study

Number of subjects required: 100 patients

Study duration and duration of participation for each patient:

  • duration of the study: 1 year
  • for each patient the participation to the study began at baseline after the decision of transfusion and stopped at the second sample ie at least 72 hours after the transfusion of red blood cells.

The maximum contribution for one patient is 5 days.

Methodology: It is a prospective non interventional monocentric (BEAUJON Hospital) study. Two blood tests will be performed; one before transfusion and the other from 48 to 72 hours after red packed cells transfusion.

The following parameters will be measured before and after red packed cells transfusion:

Complete blood count (CBC) with reticulocyte count; complete iron status (ferritin, serum iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation), soluble transferrin receptor; serum and intraerythrocytic folate levels, vitamin B12; lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bilirubin (total and free), haptoglobin, orosomucoid, direct coombs test; creatinine; CRP.

The aim of this work is to study the changes of key assays useful for the understanding of anemia mechanism before and after red packed cells transfusion: iron status, vitamin assays, hemolysis markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 6 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 26 Aug 2013. 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 France. 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?

anemia (time frame: 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Aug 2013.
