Trial summary

Every year, several millions of red cell concentrates are transfused. For each of them, a pretransfusional compatibility test is performed. In France, an ABO compatibility test at the patient's bedside is performed, but rhesus compatibility is not yet checked. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Enlargement of the SmarTTransfuser Biochip (ABO Compatibility) to the Detection of Rhesus (RH1)

Every year, several millions of red cell concentrates are transfused. For each of them, a pretransfusional compatibility test is performed. In France, an ABO compatibility test at the patient's bedside is performed, but rhesus compatibility is not yet checked. However, rhesus antigens are very immunogenic and could lead to Rh incompatibility or Rh disease.

The objective of ABORDAGE project is to develop another biochip that specifically captures RBCs according the presence of the RH1 antigen (also known as D antigen) at their surface.

Read the detailed description

Every year, several millions of red cell concentrates are transfused. For each of them, a pretransfusional compatibility test is performed. In France, an ABO compatibility test at the patient's bedside is performed, but rhesus compatibility is not yet checked. However, rhesus antigens are very immunogenic and could lead to Rh incompatibility or Rh disease. Rh incompatibility occurs when a woman with Rh-negative blood type is exposed to Rh-positive blood cells. This exposure leads to the sensitization of the women who develop anti-Rh immunoglobulin G (IgG). This immunization is one cause of the hemolytic disease of newborns (HDN). HDN results from an incompatibility between mother's blood and fetus' blood. It happens when fetal red blood cells (RBCs) present antigens inherited from the father but missing from the mother. Consequence of this incompatibility is the fetal RBCs destruction by mother's antibodies. Antibodies could be natural, like immunoglobulin M (IgM) anti-A or anti-B from the ABO system, or from an immunization. Rh incompatibility results from 2 main mechanisms. The first one is when a pregnancy Rh-negative woman is exposed to fetal Rh-positive RBCs. Rh incompatibility leads to anemia (mild to severe) or ultimately to the in utero death. The second occurs when Rh incompatible blood is transfused. This is the subject of this communication.

The investigators previously develop biochips and optical device to realize automatic ABO compatibility test at the patient's bedside (references to the Citation field). Based on this previously project, the goal of ABORDAGE project is to develop another biochip based on selective blood capture. The ABORDAGE chip has to specifically capture RBCs according the presence of the RH1 antigen (also known as D antigen) at their surface.

Being tested
Blood donation

What participants receive

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

  • Blood donationOther

    Red cell concentrates derived from healthy blood donating people. In France, all blood donation is realized by the Etablissement Français du Sang, so all the study samples are from this center.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection of presence or absence of red blood cell on biochips by measurement of optical absorption with a detection module.

    Detection of red blood cell capture relies on optical absorption. Electroluminescent diodes will illuminate the surfaces of biochips and photoreceptors placed opposite will detect the amount of light which crosses the surfaces. First, a reference value is taken. Then, blood is injected on the surface and rinsed, to remove unbound ligands. If red blood cells have been trapped, light is absorbed. If not, no absorption is observe.

    Absorbance level are collected and correlation between the percentage of red cells on surfaces and absorbance are analysed.

    Measured: between 6 and 42 days after blood donation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rh Incompatibility Reaction, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon.

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 8 Aug 2016. 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 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?

Detection of presence or absence of red blood cell on biochips by measurement of optical absorption with a detection module. (time frame: between 6 and 42 days after blood donation). 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 NCT02857075, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 8 Aug 2016.
