About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Pilot Clinical Investigation of Surgical Bleeding in Burn Patients, and Chronically Transfused Patients With Haematologic Malignancies, Who Are Transfused With Hypoxic Red Blood Cells Manufactured With Hemanext ONE System

The overall objective of this study is to collect preliminary safety data on the transfusion of hypoxic RBCs, manufactured with the Hemanext ONE device, in patients with burns and patients with hematological malignancies. The Hemanext ONE device received CE mark in April 2021.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to assess hypoxic RBCs safety and tolerance assessment up to 24 hours following the transfusion initiation and overall up to 7 days (+/- 1 day) after the transfusion episode (single transfusion course).

Secondary objectives include the following.

  1. Assessment of pre and post transfusion hemoglobin levels
  2. Assessment of hemoglobin level before the following transfusion, if applicable
  3. Assessment of AEs occurrence:
  4. Up to 7 days (+/- 1 day) post transfusion, in comparison with historical control (including but not limited to infection, deep vein thrombosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, transfusion-related acute lung injury, transfusion associated circulatory overload, anaphylactic shock, acute hemolytic transfusion reaction). ii. Up to the subsequent transfusion episode or up to 28 days (+/- 1 day) after the initial transfusion, whichever comes first. iii. From enrollment, up to their subsequent transfusion or 28 days (+/- 1 day) post transfusion, whichever comes first, through the assessment of patient's diary.
  5. Assessment of the vital signs during and up to 15 minutes after the transfusion.

    Hypoxic Red Blood Cells manufactured with the Hemanext ONE device- CPD/PAGGSM Red Blood Cells, Leukocytes Reduced, and O2/CO2 Reduced

Study groups in NCT05549232
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hematologic MalignanciesSubjects requiring chronic transfusions with red blood cells for treatment of a hematologic malignancy will receive 1 transfusion with 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells manufactured with the Hemanext ONE device. The subjects will be monitored for all adverse events from Informed Consent through Day 28 or the subsequent standard of care transfusion, whichever occurs first.
Receives: Device: Hypoxic Red Blood Cells
Acute BurnSubjects requiring transfusion with red blood cells during the excision procedure after an acute burn will receive 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells manufactured with the Hemanext ONE device. As the excision treatments require transfusion of more than 2 units of red blood cells, the first 2 units transfused during the procedure will be hypoxic red blood cells. The subjects will be monitored for all adverse events through Day 28.
Receives: Device: Hypoxic Red Blood Cells

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (All Types/Grades) Within a Time Frame up to 24 Hours Following the Transfusion.

    The type and the grade of each adverse event will be categorized according to:

    • Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB) technical manual, 20th edition (2020)
    • Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion (BEST) Collaborative review - Lancet 2016; 388: 2825-36
    • Local AEs database (for reference)
    • ISO 14155-2020 definitions

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE) (All Types/Grades) Overall up to 7 Days (+/-1 Day) After the Transfusion.

    The type and the grade of each adverse event will be categorized according to:

    • Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB) technical manual, 20th edition (2020)
    • Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion (BEST) Collaborative review - Lancet 2016; 388: 2825-36
    • Local AEs database (for reference)
    • ISO 14155-2020 definitions

    Measured: 7 days (+/-1 day)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Evolution of the Hemoglobin Level Before and After the Transfusion.

    The difference in measured hemoglobin (grams/dL) between pre-transfusion and up to 30 minutes post-transfusion.

    Measured: pre-transfusion to up to 30 minutes post-transfusion

  2. Calculation of the Hemoglobin Increment After Transfusion Corrected for Patient Blood Volume and Hemoglobin Dose

    The hemoglobin increment from each transfusion will be determined by calculating the difference between the subject's post-transfusion and pre-transfusion hemoglobin (g/dL). It will then be corrected for estimated subject blood volume and the amount of Hb transfused.

    The following equation used for the hemoglobin increment calculation:

    HgB Increment = (Subject's HgB level post-transfusion - Subject's HgB pre-transfusion)/ (total HgB transfused x Subject's BloodVolume)

    Equations for calculating the hemoglobin increment may be found in the following publication: Wendelbo Ø, Opheim EN, Hervig T, Felli Lunde TH, Bruserud Ø, Mollnes TE, Reikvam H. Cytokine profiling and post-transfusion haemoglobin increment in patients with haematological diseases. Vox Sang. 2018 Oct;113(7):657-668. doi: 10.1111/vox.12703. Epub 2018 Aug 29. PMID: 30159896.

    Measured: 28 days

  3. Comparison of the Hemoglobin Level Before the Index Transfusion to That Prior to the Subsequent Transfusion

    The difference in measured hemoglobin (grams/dL) between the pre-transfusion hemoglobin level for the study transfusion and the pre-transfusion hemoglobin level for the next scheduled transfusion.

    Measured: 28 days

  4. Evaluation of AEs From Enrollment, up to Prior to the Subsequent Transfusion or up to Day 28, Whichever Occurs First

    Number of AEs that occur from enrollment, up to prior to the subsequent transfusion or up to Day 28, whichever occurs first

    Measured: 28 days

  5. Evaluation of Subject's Blood Pressure Over the Course of the Transfusion and up to 15 Minutes Post-transfusion

    Change in blood pressure (systolic; mmHg) from baseline up to 15 minutes post-transfusion.

    Measured: baseline up to 15 minutes post-transfusion.

  6. Evaluation of Subject's Blood Pressure Over the Course of the Transfusion and up to 15 Minutes Post-transfusion

    Change in blood pressure (diastolic; mmHg) from baseline up to 15 minutes post-transfusion.

    Measured: baseline up to 15 minutes post-transfusion.

  7. Evaluation of Subject's Respiratory Rate Over the Course of the Transfusion and up to 15 Minutes Post-transfusion

    Change in respiratory rate (breaths per minute) from baseline to up to 15 minutes post-transfusion.

    Measured: baseline to up to 15 minutes post-transfusion

  8. Evaluation of Subject's SO2 Level Over the Course of the Transfusion and up to 15 Minutes Post-transfusion

    Change in the amount of oxygen in the body (% S02 level), measured with a pulse oximeter, from baseline to up to 15 minutes post-transfusion.

    Measured: baseline to up to 15 minutes post-transfusion

  9. Evaluation of Subject's Pulse Over the Course of the Transfusion and up to 15 Minutes Post-transfusion

    Change in heart rate (beats per minute) from baseline to up to 15 minutes post-transfusion

    Measured: baseline to up to 15 minutes post-transfusion

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 May 2025). 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?

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (All Types/Grades) Within a Time Frame up to 24 Hours Following the Transfusion. (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05549232, which also lists 3 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.
