About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the AMICUS Red Blood Cell Exchange (RBCx) System in Sickle Cell Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the AMICUS Red Blood Cell Exchange (RBCx) System (Exchange and Depletion/Exchange procedures) in patients with sickle cell disease.

Read the detailed description

The goal of Red Blood Cell Exchange is to remove a patient's red blood cells (RBCs) and replace the blood volume removed with either healthy donor RBCs and/or colloid/crystalloid solutions. Depending on the RF used, the procedure can be considered an RBC Exchange or RBC Depletion/Exchange procedure. The RBC Depletion/Exchange procedure is a modification of the RBC Exchange procedure. The AMICUS RBCx protocol provides the ability to use various RFs including healthy donor RBCs or a combination of fluids, such as saline followed by RBCs. In RBC Exchange and the exchange portion of the RBC Depletion/Exchange procedures, RBC units are used as the RF, while colloid and/or crystalloid solutions are used as the RF in the depletion portion of the RBC Depletion/Exchange procedures. A new operating protocol on the AMICUS Separator that enables the device to perform Red Blood Cell Exchange (RBCx) procedures in accordance with the replacement fluid(s) (RF) prescribed by a physician for patients with sickle cell disease

What is being measured

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

  1. Actual Fraction of Original Red Blood Cells Remaining to the Target Fraction of Cells Remaining (FCR).

    The primary endpoint will evaluate the mean ratio of the Actual FCR (FCRa) to Target FCR (FCRt) as measured by the patient's Hb S pre-procedure and post-procedure. The predefined mean ratio of the FCRa to FCRt is 0.75 to 1.25.

    Measured: Actual FCR will be assessed by taking a pre-procedure sample from the patient on the day of the procedure and a post-procedure sample approximately 10-15 min after procedure completion.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Accuracy of Patient's End Hematocrit as Measured by the Patient's Post-procedure Hematocrit.

    Evaluate the accuracy of subject hematocrit post-procedure (End Hematocrit) (as measured by the patient's hematocrit at the end of the procedure) compared to the target End Hematocrit.

    Measured: Actual End Hematocrit will be measured by taking a sample from the patient approximately 10-15 min after procedure completion.

  2. Subject Cell Loss Post-Procedure (WBC)

    WBC loss post-procedure as measured with a complete blood count

    Measured: Patient's blood cells will be measured by taking a sample from the patient approximately 10-15 min after procedure completion.

  3. Serious Adverse Events

    Evaluate the number of device related serious adverse events during the procedure and approximately 18-24 hours post-procedure.

    Measured: During the procedure up to 24 hours post-procedure.

  4. Subject Cell Loss Post-Procedure (Platelets)

    Platelet loss post-procedure as measured with a complete blood count

    Measured: Patient's blood cells will be measured by taking a sample from the patient approximately 10-15 min after procedure completion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Amicus Red Cell Exchange in SCD patients in people with Sickle Cell Anemia, run by Fenwal, Inc. at 6 sites 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 29 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jul 2022). 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?

Actual Fraction of Original Red Blood Cells Remaining to the Target Fraction of Cells Remaining (FCR). (time frame: Actual FCR will be assessed by taking a pre-procedure sample from the patient on the day of the procedure and a post-procedure sample approximately 10-15 min after procedure completion.). 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 29 Jul 2022.
