Impact of the Preparation Method of Red Cell Concentrates on Transfusion Indices in Thalassemic Patients

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study compares the effects of Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs) prepared in two different ways on the transfusion indices in beta(ß)-Thalassemia transfusion-dependent patients. The two blood components types derive from the whole blood. In one case, the whole blood is leukoreduced with subsequent plasma removal. In the other case, plasma, buffy coat, and red blood cells (RBCs) are first separated and subsequently, the RBCs leukoreduced. Each type of blood components will be subsequently given to one-half of the patients for a 6-month period and to the other half for other 6-month at the randomization phase, for a total of 12 months of crossed-treatment per patient.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Thalassemia Major Biological: Blood component A Biological: Blood component B Phase 4

Detailed Description:
At Day Hospital Talassemia ed Emoglobinopatie of Ferrara, two different PRBCs are available. The two types of blood components are obtained from whole blood, pre-storage leukoreduced and suspended in saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol (SAGM). One method of preparation consists of the whole blood leukoreduction with subsequent plasma removal. The other method first separates plasma, buffy coat, and RBCs, and then the RBCs are leukoreduced. The two methods mainly differ in the final haemoglobin (Hb) content: the Hb level is lower (-13%, approximately) in the second method that also shows the advantage to produce platelets from the buffy coat. A PRBCs unit is not as strictly defined as a therapeutic medication dose (pill or vial): individual PRBCs units may substantially differ in their Hb content, much more than the average difference between the two types of preparations. The aim of this study is to document the extent of the average difference between the two types of preparations, and its impacts on the transfusion indices of ß-Thalassaemia transfusion-dependent patients. All patients will receive each blood component for a period of 6 months (crossover design), for a total of 12 months of transfusion treatment per patient.
Study Design
Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 55 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Intervention Model Description: Patients will be divided into two groups of approximately equal number. The first group will receive the blood component A for a period of 6 months and then the blood component B for the next 6 months. The second group will receive the blood components in inverted order
Masking: None (Open Label)
Masking Description: The patients will not be informed on the blood components sequence that they will receive. However, the units exterior appearance of the two types of preparations is different. For this reason, patients and care providers will most probably notice it.

  3. Average Transfusion Interval [ Time Frame: For each of the two blood components studied, at the end of 6-month period of study ]

  4. Number of Transfusion Reactions [ Time Frame: Study periods (2 periods of 6 months each) ]
    Number of transfusion reactions to the two blood components that may occur in the study periods (2 periods of 6 months each)

  5. Transfusion Reaction Rate [ Time Frame: Study periods (2 periods of 6 months each) ]
    (Number of transfusion reactions to the two blood components occurring in the study periods)/(Total number of PRBCs (A or B) transfused in the period)
