Lab study aims to sharpen eye biopsy techniques
NCT ID NCT07408466
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses blood samples from 100 healthy volunteers to test different machine settings for a type of eye surgery called vitrectomy. The goal is to find which settings cause the least damage to cells, so that when doctors use this surgery to diagnose eye lymphoma, they get better samples. The study is done in a lab, not on patients, and compares four combinations of vacuum pressure and cutting speed.

Who is studied
Approximately 100 healthy adult volunteers meeting standard blood donation eligibility criteria at the Blood Transfusion Center of IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele will be included. Only residual anonymized blood samples obtained from routine donor activity will be used for this study. No additional collection, manipulation, or intervention will be performed on donors for research purposes. Given that the objective of the study is to assess the variation (Δ) in cellular composition before and after ex-vivo processing, rather than the absolute baseline characteristics of individual samples, no disease-specific inclusion or exclusion criteria are required beyond those routinely applied for standard blood donation eligibility.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Provision of written informed consent authorizing the anonymized research use of residual blood samples. * Age 18-65 years at the time of donation. * Eligibility for routine whole blood donation, according to the institutional and national standards of the Blood Transfusion Center. * Good general health, as per standard donor screening procedures. Exclusion Criteria: No additional exclusion criteria are defined beyond standard blood donation regulations. Exclusion from the study will therefore coincide with ineligibility for blood donation according to institutional protocols (e.g., due to infection, hematologic disease, recent surgery, or medication use that affects blood composition).
