NCT ID NCT07513532

First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to track donated platelets after they are given to a patient. Researchers add biotin (vitamin B7) and a tiny amount of radioactive material to the platelets to see how long they survive in the blood. The study involves 12 healthy volunteers who donate their own platelets and then receive them back after labeling. The goal is to improve how we measure platelet recovery and survival, which could help make transfusions safer and more effective.
