Scientific title
Study objectivesComparison of safety, tolerability, and efficacy of universal plasma (Uniplas™ LG) versus standard S/D plasma (Octaplas™ LG) in healthy volunteers.

As of 23/03/2010 this record was updated to include the actual end date of this trial. The initial anticipated end date of this trial was 31/12/2009.
Ethics approval(s)Local Ethics Committee (Ethikkommission der med. Uni. Wien und des Allg. Krankenhauses der Stadt Wien [AKH]) gave approval on the 20th November 2008 (ref: 395/2008)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSafety/tolerability (haemolytic transfusion reaction) after transfusion of Uniplas™ LG
InterventionThe 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 laboratory parameters (haematology, complement activation, immune haematology). Efficacy will be measured by assessing coagulation factors. All these parameters will be collected before and immediately after plasmapheresis (PP), then 15 minutes, 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after end of investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration. Treatment sequence is either Uniplas™ LG or Octaplas™ LG or vice versa after a minimal wash out period of 1 month. The overall duration per subject will be 4 months including 3 months follow up and a treatment performed on 2 days.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase I
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Plasma (Uniplas™ LG, Octaplas™ LG)
Primary outcome measureHaemoglobin (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 outcome measures1. 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
Overall study start date01/01/2009
Completion date02/02/2010
