Conditions

Safety/tolerability (haemolytic transfusion reaction) after transfusion of Uniplas™ LG Not Applicable

Interventions

The treatment day will start with plasmapheresis (600 ml) then transfusion of either Uniplas™ LG or Octaplas™ LG will be randomly assigned. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by clinical and lab

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Haemoglobin (Hb), measured before and immediately after PP and at 15 minutes, 2 hours, 24 hours, 7 days and 3 months after end of IMP administration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Parameters of haemolysis (haptoglobin, free Hb, indirect bilirubin) 2. Complement activation (CH50, C3c, C4) 3. Immune haematology (direct antiglobulin test [DAT]) 4. Haematology (red blood cell [RBC] count, white blood cell [WBC] count, platelets, haematocrit [Hct]) 5. Haemostatic parameters (activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT], prothrombin time [PT], fibrinogen [Fbg], factor II [FII], factor V [FV], factor VII [FVII], factor VIII [FVIII], factor IX [FIX], factor X [FX], factor XI [FXI], protein S, plasmin inhibitor) 6. Changes in viral status over the study period (anti-HIV-1/2, HBsAg, hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc], anti-HCV, cytomegalovirus antigen [anti-CMV], hepatitis A virus antibody [anti-HAV], anti-Parvovirus B19) 7. Overall tolerability, vital parameters including body temperature, standard safety laboratory parameters All primary and secondary endpoints will be measured before and immediately after PP and at 15 minutes/2 hours post-transfusion of IMP. The following extra timepoints will also be used: 1. 24 hours after end of IMP administration: haematology, DAT, complement and coagulation factors 2. 7 days after end of IMP administration: haematology, DAT and complement 3. 3 months after end of IMP administration: haematology, DAT, aPTT, PT, Fbg, and viral markers
