Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: To determine if platelets treated for pathogen inactivation and stored for 6 to 7 days are safe and effective compared to platelets collected by the same method, stored for the same amount of time and not treated for pathogen inactivation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Although the European Commission directive 2004/33/EC states that platelet preparations may be stored for 7 days in conjunction with detection or reduction of bacterial contamination, most blood centers store platelets for only 4 or 5 days. Extending the storage time could greatly improve platelet availability for patients while decreasing wastage of this limited resource.
