NCT ID NCT06187831

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

Summary

This study looked at whether it is safe to lower the number of platelets needed before placing a central line (a special IV) in patients with blood disorders. Normally, patients get a platelet transfusion if their count is below 50, but this study tested a lower trigger of 10. The goal was to see if this change led to more serious bleeding. The study included 927 adults in a hospital hematology ward.
