Scientific titleComparison of in vivo outcome following transfusion of dynamic light scattering-screened versus unscreened platelets in hematologic malignancy: A randomised controlled trial
Study acronymCoDIVO clinical trial
Study objectivesFeasibility Trial
To test whether at least 80% of platelet (PLT) transfusions are provided in a timely manner when the ThromboLUX™ score measurement is incorporated into the current Transfusion Medicine Laboratory (TML) platelet issuance workflow. The time required to measure the ThromboLUX score of a sample is 20 min. With available group and screen result, a delay in turnaround time of up to 1 hour is considered acceptable for urgent requests, and up to 4 hours for routine requests.
Pivotal Trial
The mean 24 hour corrected count increment (as a measure of transfusion outcome) in the experimental group (those receiving platelets with a ThromboLUX DLS score > 15) will be higher than the mean corrected count increment in the control group (those receiving standard of care or platelets with a DLS score ranging anywhere from 0 to 40).
Ethics approval(s)British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA) and University of British Columbia (UBC) research ethics board (REB) (ref: H09-02334) approved pending registration of clinical trial; expected Jul 2010.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPlatelet transfusion; hematological malignancy
InterventionThe treating physician will determine the need for platelet transfusion based on symptoms or threshold morning platelet count in accordance with established guidelines. Each enrolled patient will be randomized to the experimental arm or the control arm.
Experimental: Each platelet transfusion provided will have a ThromboLUX score of greater than or equal to 15.
Control: Platelet transfusions provided will be equivalent to current industry standard of care, which is ThromboLUX untested. This group's platelets will have ThromboLUX scores of any value.

Primary outcome measure1. 24 hour corrected count increment (CCI24h); the transfusion outcome of each platelet transfusion will be determined by documenting the platelet survival in patient circulation at 24 hours. This is the primary outcome. The corrected count increment (CCI) is an automated calculation using the established formula which cannot be influenced by the software user. CCI will be calculated by the laboratory research assistant from the pre-and post-transfusion platelet counts, normalized to the body surface area.
Corrected count increments (CCIs) are calculated using the following formula:
CCI = (post count – pre count) x BSA / platelet dose x 1011
Where body surface area (BSA) is calculated based on patient height and weight using :
BSA [m²] = 0.007184 x Height [cm]0.725 x Weight [kg]0.425
2. Time to next platelet transfusion (hours), or inter-transfusion interval (ITI). Therapeutic or prophylactic platelet transfusions will be requested by the patient’s physician in accordance with international guidelines. Prophylactic PLT transfusions will be given to afebrile and clinically stable patients with peripheral blood PLT counts below 10 x 109/L and to febrile patients when PLT counts are below 20 x 109/L. In patients with increased risk of bleeding (e.g., before invasive procedures or recent hemorrhage) or ongoing bleeding, PLT transfusions will be administered when peripheral blood PLT counts are below 20 - 50 x 109/L and at physician discretion.
3. World Health Organization (WHO) bleeding score; administered by blinded research nurse daily and at 24 hours post platelet transfusion. The bleeding score will be assigned daily based on the severity of bleeding criteria. The following categories are evaluated:
3.1. No bleeding
3.2. Grade I - very mild bleeding
3.3. Grade II - mild, epistaxis, mucocutaneous, conjunctival bleeding
3.4. Grade III - moderate, greater than II, but not requiring RBC support
3.5. Grade IV - severe bleeding

The ThromboLUX score, produced by the instrument without user intervention, will be correlated to the three outcome measures: 24h CCI, ITI and WHO bleeding score.
Secondary outcome measures1. Additional clinical information, known to impact platelet recovery and survival will be collected for each enrolled patient, including:
1.1. General Clinical Information:

3. Additional testing on existing Patient blood sample post transfusion (for selected transfusion events):
For platelet transfusions where one hour post transfusion platelet count exceeds the sum of pre-transfusion count plus the transfused platelet dose plus two standard deviations, the post transfusion patient EDTA sample will be procured from the hematology laboratory and transferred to the centre for blood research laboratory for further testing. Testing will include CD41 and CD61 by flow cytometry.

Target number of participants200
Key inclusion criteriaWe propose to enrol 200 leukemia and bone marrow transplant inpatients, as frequent recipients of prophylactic and therapeutic platelet transfusions.
All patients >18 years of age with hematologic malignancies on the leukemia and bone marrow transplant ward VGH (T15), undergoing stem cell transplantation or chemotherapy, and expected to require at least one platelet transfusion will be considered for enrolment.
Key exclusion criteria1. Patients who have received platelet transfusion (outside the CoDIVO study) within the past two weeks
2. Patients known to require Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matched platelet support will be ineligible, due to TML's inability to guarantee availability of HLA matched platelets with TL score >15 in experimental arm
3. Patients with documented splenomegaly will be excluded, because an enlarged spleen causes enhanced platelet removal
4. Unable to provide informed consent
5. Unreliable availability of appropriate English translator (Daily bleeding scores required)
6. Pregnancy
7. Major surgery within the previous two weeks
8. Acute promyelocytic leukemia
9. Idiopathic or Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura or Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
