Clinical Trial Summary

This is a pilot trial to discover the feasibility of recruiting 50 pts over the course of 12 months. The trial is testing the efficacy of using cold-stored vs. room temperature stored (current standard of care) platelets to treat bleeding in persons with hematological disorders and thrombocytopenia.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with hematologic malignancies or marrow aplasia are at increased risk of bleeding. While prophylactic platelet transfusions reduce the risk of bleeding compared with no prophylaxis, a significant risk of bleeding remains, with 43-54% of patients with a hematologic malignancy or marrow aplasia receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) experiencing WHO grade 2 or higher bleeding [Stanworth et al. NEJM 2013; Gernsheimer et al, Blood 2020]. Improved efficacy of therapeutic platelet transfusions would benefit this patient population. In vitro data suggests that cold-stored platelets have greater hemostatic responsiveness than those stored at room temperature. This study will evaluate the feasibility of a randomized clinical trial comparing cold- and room temperature storage in patients admitted to hospital with a hematologic malignancy or marrow aplasia. Results will inform estimates of transfusion requirements and changes in bleeding severity for power calculations, inform management of a cold-stored platelet inventory, and will provide data on the use of cold-stored platelets in the Canadian health-care setting. ;
