Brief summary

The objective of this study is to assess the post-infusion recovery and survival of platelets in 100% Plasma treated with INTERCEPT Blood System for Platelets with LED Illuminator and stored for 5 days after apheresis collection. The post-infusion recovery and survival of autologous radiolabeled 5-day INTERCEPT platelets (Test) stored in 100% plasma will be measured in comparison to fresh autologous radiolabeled platelets (Control).

Detailed description

The study population will consist of healthy subjects who meet the FDA, AABB, and site-specific research donor eligibility criteria for an apheresis platelet collection. Apheresis platelets (single or double) will be collected in 100% plasma on the Trima Accel® Automated Blood Collection system. Each study apheresis collection will be processed using the INTERCEPT Blood System for Platelets; apheresis platelets containing a platelet dose of 4.0 to 5.2 x10\^11 platelets in 300 to 390 mL of plasma will be processed using the INTERCEPT Large Volume (LV) processing set. The INTERCEPT process will begin on either the day of collection (Day 0) or the day following collection (Day 1); illumination on the LED Illuminator must occur within 24 hours after the end of collection. Test platelet components will be stored for up to 5 days, after collection, in 100% plasma. In vitro platelet function will be evaluated on pre-treatment (Day 0/1), at the end of INTERCEPT treatment (Day 1/2), and at end of storage (Day 5). At the end of storage, an aliquot of Test platelets will be aseptically removed from each subject's INTERCEPT platelet storage container and prepared for radiolabeling using Variant 1 BEST version 4.2.1 (Variant 1) method. Variant 1 method does not incorporate an initial soft spin in the presence of ACD A described in the BEST 4.2.1 method which results in improved in vitro platelet recovery and quality during preparation for radiolabeling compared to the BEST procedure. The method for collection and radiolabeling of the fresh Control platelets in Variant 1 of BEST 4.2.1 contains the same steps as published in the BEST 4.2.1 method (BEST). The recovery and survival for Test platelets will be compared against the fresh platelet Control. Recovery and survival of INTERCEPT platelets will be assessed after 5 days of storage for up to 24 evaluable subjects. Test and Control platelets will be randomly radiolabeled with either 51Cr as sodium chromate (Na251CrO4) or 111In as Indium Oxine, depending upon randomization. Subjects will be randomized with equal probability to the radiolabeling sequences (111In/51Cr vs. 51Cr/111In) for Test INTERCEPT platelets/Control fresh platelets. After radiolabeling, the autologous Control and Test platelet samples will be simultaneously infused into the subject. Blood samples will be drawn immediately before infusion and for radioactivity measurements at 2 hours ±15 min post-infusion (Day 0), and 6 more samples will be drawn at 1 (within ±4 hours from time of infusion), 2, 3, 5±1, 7/8, and 11±1 days post-infusion (DPI)). The exact time of each sample draw will be recorded. Subjects will be monitored for safety (adverse events including transfusion reactions) from the time of the apheresis procedure until 24 hours after the last DPI blood sample is drawn.

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥18 years * Normal health status (as determined by the Investigator review of medical history and blood donor physical exam) * Complete blood count (CBC) and serum chemistry values within normal limits or outside of normal reference range but determined by the Investigator, and consultation with the Sponsor, to be not clinically significant. * Meet FDA, AABB or institutional guidelines for allogeneic and plateletpheresis donor qualifications with the following exceptions: o Deferrals due to travel, tattoos/piercings, male to male sexual contact as institutional policies allow * All routine infectious disease testing must be negative or non-reactive (during screening) * Subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a medically acceptable (as per the Investigator) method of contraception throughout the study * Signed and dated informed consent form

Exclusion criteria

In vivo recovery was expressed as proportion of infused in days and was estimated using a multiple-hit model. The FDA acceptance criteria for survival is \>66% of control with the lower bound of a two-sided 95% CI for the mean treatment difference (Test-0.66\*Control) in survival is greater than or equal to zero.

In vivo recovery was expressed as proportion of infused in days and was estimated using a multiple-hit model. The FDA acceptance criteria for survival is \>58% of control with the lower bound of a two-sided 95% CI for the mean treatment difference (Test - 0.58 \* Control) in survival is greater than or equal to zero.

Recruitment details

A subject was considered "enrolled" upon signing the informed consent form.

Pre-assignment details

Subjects who initiated an apheresis collection were included in the ITT/Safety Analysis Set. Subjects who had data for recovery and survival data and/or other in vitro characteristics were in the the Modified Intention to Treat (mITT). Randomized and infused subjects who had both paired (Test and Control) recovery and paired survival data, Test recovery and/or survival less than Control recovery and/or survival and complied with the protocol were in the Per Protocol Set (PPS).
