Brief summary

The overall objective of this study is to collect preliminary safety data on the transfusion of hypoxic RBCs, manufactured with the Hemanext ONE device, in patients with burns and patients with hematological malignancies. The Hemanext ONE device received CE mark in April 2021.

Detailed description

The primary objective is to assess hypoxic RBCs safety and tolerance assessment up to 24 hours following the transfusion initiation and overall up to 7 days (+/- 1 day) after the transfusion episode (single transfusion course). Secondary objectives include the following. 1. Assessment of pre and post transfusion hemoglobin levels 2. Assessment of hemoglobin level before the following transfusion, if applicable 3. Assessment of AEs occurrence: i. Up to 7 days (+/- 1 day) post transfusion, in comparison with historical control (including but not limited to infection, deep vein thrombosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, transfusion-related acute lung injury, transfusion associated circulatory overload, anaphylactic shock, acute hemolytic transfusion reaction). ii. Up to the subsequent transfusion episode or up to 28 days (+/- 1 day) after the initial transfusion, whichever comes first. iii. From enrollment, up to their subsequent transfusion or 28 days (+/- 1 day) post transfusion, whichever comes first, through the assessment of patient's diary. 4. Assessment of the vital signs during and up to 15 minutes after the transfusion.

Hematologic Malignancies
Subjects requiring chronic transfusions with red blood cells for treatment of a hematologic malignancy will receive 1 transfusion with 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells manufactured with the Hemanext ONE device. The subjects will be monitored for all adverse events from Informed Consent through Day 28 or the subsequent standard of care transfusion, whichever occurs first.

Acute Burn
Subjects requiring transfusion with red blood cells during the excision procedure after an acute burn will receive 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells manufactured with the Hemanext ONE device. As the excision treatments require transfusion of more than 2 units of red blood cells, the first 2 units transfused during the procedure will be hypoxic red blood cells. The subjects will be monitored for all adverse events through Day 28.

Calculation of the Hemoglobin Increment After Transfusion Corrected for Patient Blood Volume and Hemoglobin Dose

The hemoglobin increment from each transfusion will be determined by calculating the difference between the subject's post-transfusion and pre-transfusion hemoglobin (g/dL). It will then be corrected for estimated subject blood volume and the amount of Hb transfused. The following equation used for the hemoglobin increment calculation: HgB Increment = (Subject's HgB level post-transfusion - Subject's HgB pre-transfusion)/ (total HgB transfused x Subject's BloodVolume) Equations for calculating the hemoglobin increment may be found in the following publication: Wendelbo Ø, Opheim EN, Hervig T, Felli Lunde TH, Bruserud Ø, Mollnes TE, Reikvam H.

Time frame: 28 days

Population: Outcome not analyzed. The reason for this change is that it was not possible to calculate the hemoglobin increment from the collected data. Patient HgB results were collected pre and post transfusion. However, total HgB transfused (i.e. how much HgB was present in RBC units) was not assessed. This missing variable is required to complete the HgB Increment calculation, which prevented us from completing the calculation in order to report adjusted hemoglobin increment.
