New drug aims to boost oxygen in blood transfusions

NCT ID NCT03999229

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether giving a drug that adds a small molecule to red blood cells can improve how much oxygen gets to tissues during a blood transfusion. Healthy volunteers will receive their own stored blood with or without the drug, and researchers will measure oxygen levels in blood and tissues. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and could help prevent complications from transfusions.
