New blood cleaning system aims to make transfusions safer from viruses

NCT ID NCT03037164

Summary

This study is testing a new system designed to make donated red blood cells safer before they are given to patients who need transfusions. The system aims to reduce the risk of passing on infections like Zika virus through blood transfusions. The trial will compare the safety and effectiveness of these treated blood cells against standard blood cells in nearly 700 patients with anemia, including those with sickle cell disease.
