Study information
Scientific title
Acronym
HOVON 82
Study hypothesis
Platelet additive solution platelet concentrates (PAS III-PC) and pathogen reduced (PR)-PAS III-PC are non-inferior compared to plasma platelet concentrates (Plasma-PC) in terms of recovery, estimated by the one-hour corrected count increments (CCI) post-transfusion.
Secondary objectives:
1. To assess the effectiveness in relation to storage time of the used platelet product
2. To evaluate whether clinical factors interact with the different study products leading to a difference in platelet refractoriness
3. To assess the 24-hour CCI
4. To assess the safety (bleeding complications and adverse transfusion reactions)
5. To assess transfusion requirement (red cells and platelets)
6. To assess the transfusion interval
Ethics approval
Approval received from the local ethics committee (METC Zuidwest Holland) on the 22nd January 2007 (ref: METC protocol-nr 06-094) (ref. of approval letter: 2007-054).

Condition
Thrombocytopenia
Intervention
All patients will be randomised to receive one of three platelet products during one transfusion period:
Arm A: plasma stored platelet concentrates (Plasma-PC)
Arm B: PAS III stored platelet concentrates (PAS III-PC)
Arm C: pathogen reduced PAS III stored platelet concentrates (PR-PAS III-PC)
Duration of study will be one transfusion period, which is defined as a period of six weeks or a maximum of five transfusions.
