  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients requiring a platelet transfusion.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a serious disease expected to require or requiring a transfusion of platelet component(s)

  • Patient provides written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Documented allergy to psoralens

About this study

The rationale for a Treatment Use Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) of INTERCEPT PCs is to address current gaps in platelet transfusion safety in selected geographic regions. The objective is to provide access to INTERCEPT PCs for patients who might be at risk of transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI) due to Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Dengue virus (DENV) in regions in which a substantial proportion of the population has been infected or is at risk of infection by these pathogens (Petersen 2014); and the risk of asymptomatic infection among qualified blood donors is recognized (Stramer 2012, Adda 2014).

The study is designed as a prospective, open label, multi-center, observational study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of INTERCEPT platelet components.

Read the detailed description

Upon written informed consent, patients will be transfused with study PCs according to local practices. Each patient will be supported with platelets as clinically indicated in a manner that is consistent with the local standard of care. The study will be conducted in two phases. During the pilot phase, patients will sign informed consent to have study data collected following transfusion with conventional PCs. The objective of the pilot phase is to evaluate study logistics and data collection methods. During the INTERCEPT Treatment Use phase, patients will sign informed consent to receive INTERCEPT PCs, provide blood samples, and collect study data (demographics, transfusion data, and safety data).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • INTERCEPT PlateletsBiological

    INTERCEPT platelet components (PC). Leukocyte reduced apheresis platelet components collected in Platelet Additive Solution (PAS) or 100% plasma without gamma irradiation, bacterial detection, and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) serology testing.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Proportion of Transfused INTERCEPT Platelet Components With a Post-treatment Platelet Dose ≥ 3.0×10^11 Platelets.

    INTERCEPT platelet components (PCs) manufactured for this study are leukocyte reduced apheresis PCs processed using the INTERCEPT Blood System (IBS) for platelets. The IBS for platelets is a Class III medical device approved by the FDA for the ex-vivo preparation and storage of pathogen reduced apheresis PCs. The system is used to inactivate a broad range of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and protozoan parasites as well as contaminating donor leukocytes. Post-manufacturing, INTERCEPT PCs are either transfused or stored according to blood center standard operating procedures, US FDA, and AABB Guidelines.

    Subjects enrolled in this study are transfused with INTERCEPT PCs as dictated by the treating physician. One platelet component was treated as one platelet transfusion for the purpose of data analysis in this study.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. The Proportion of Patients With a Confirmed Case of Transfusion-transmitted Chikungunya Virus or Dengue Infection

    Measured: 1 year

  3. The Proportion of Patients With Any Transfusion Reactions

    Transfusion reactions are defined as adverse events assessed as possibly, likely/probably or certainly related to the INTERCEPT platelet component transfused.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. The Proportion of Patients With Any Unrelated Adverse Event

    Unrelated adverse events are defined as adverse events unrelated to the INTERCEPT platelet component transfused.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. The Proportion of Transfused INTERCEPT Platelet Components Associated With Any Transfusion Reactions and/or Unrelated Adverse Event

    Transfusion reactions are defined as adverse events assessed as possibly, likely/probably or certainly related to the INTERCEPT platelet component transfused.

    Unrelated adverse events are defined as adverse events unrelated to the INTERCEPT platelet component transfused.

    ""1 Transfusion = 1 Intercept Platelet Component".

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chikungunya Virus and Dengue Virus, run by Cerus Corporation at 8 sites in Puerto Rico.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 30 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Puerto Rico. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Proportion of Transfused INTERCEPT Platelet Components With a Post-treatment Platelet Dose ≥ 3.0×10^11 Platelets. (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Oct 2018.
