About this trial

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

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female aged 18 or older

Patients with a documented diagnosis of a haematological malignancy requiring chronic transfusions.

If MDS patient, Have low risk or intermediate risk MDS per either IPSS-R (https://www.mds-foundation.org/ipss-r-calculator/) or IPSS-M (IPSS-M Risk Calculator (mds-risk-model.com))

If MDS patient, a bone marrow aspirate completed within the 6 months prior to study enrolment, and which did not show progression to higher risk MDS

Disqualifiers

Have a life expectancy of less than 1 year

Have palpable splenomegaly (more than 3 cm below the mid clavicular line)

Have other associated causes of anemia (including auto-immune hemolysis or active hemorrhage, or progression to acute leukemia)

If prescribed erythropoiesis affecting disease modifying agents (e.g. G-CSF, erythropoietin), have not been on a stable dose for 90 days

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of RBCs units per unit of time

The difference in the total number of hypoxic RBCs units per unit of time transfused to MDS patients during the study period compared to the total number of conventional RBCs units per unit of time transfused.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 15 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Volume of blood transfused

The mean volume of blood per patient transfused with Hemanext ONE and with standard RBC units will be analyzed and compared

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 15 months
2

Number of transfusion events

Mean number of transfusion events throughout the study period

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 15 months
3

Mean change in key laboratory assessments (hemoglobin)

Mean change in key laboratory assessments (hemoglobin) and average hemoglobin increment after transfusions of hypoxically stored RBCs compared to that with conventionally stored RBCs.

Time frame
Up to 15-60 minutes post transfusion, up to day 7, up to pre-transfusion of first washout visit (at 6 months), up to transfusion on the final transfusion visit (at 15 months)
4

Mean change in key laboratory assessments (hematocrit)

Mean change in key laboratory assessments (hematocrit) after transfusions of hypoxically stored RBCs compared to that with conventionally stored RBCs.

Time frame
Up to 15-60 minutes post transfusion, up to day 7, up to pre-transfusion of first washout visit (at 6 months), up to transfusion on the final transfusion visit (at 15 months)
