This research is being done to compare the red blood circulation survival in healthy adult volunteers between the 51 chromium (51Cr) red blood cell (RBC) labeling method and the Biotin (BioRBC) red blood cell (RBC) labeling method to determine if biotinylated red blood cells (BioRBC) is an acceptable non radioactive alternative to 51 chromium (51Cr) radiolabeling for regulatory pharmacokinetic studies of red blood cell products.
This is a Phase 1, randomized, controlled, autologous transfusion study in healthy adult volunteers designed to compare biotinylated red blood cells (BioRBC) with 51 chromium (51Cr)-labeled red blood cells for the assessment of red blood cell (RBC) recovery and survival after 42 days of storage, with and without irradiation at Day 0. Both 51Cr and biotin labeling have been used to measure autologous RBC recovery and survival, but biotin has not yet been accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a method to determine 24 hour post transfusion recovery and long term survival after storage. Study procedures include screening, blood samples, testing, labeling and transfusion. It is expected that about 20 people will take part in this research study.

NOT_YET_RECRUITING24-hour Post-transfusion Recovery (PTR24) of Irradiated or Non-irradiated biotinylated Red Blood Cells Compared With 51Cr-Labeled Red Blood Cells
Percentage of infused autologous red blood cells (RBC) remaining in circulation 24 hours after transfusion
Time frame: Day 1 after completion of autologous RBC infusion (Day 43 of the study)
Lifespan of of Irradiated or Non-irradiated biotinylated Red Blood Cells Compared With 51Cr-Labeled Red Blood Cells
Survival of autologous irradiated RBC expressed as days of RBC present in blood until they disappear from circulation
Time frame: From immediately post infusion through Day 112 post-infusion (day 154 of the study, at approximately 16 weeks post transfusion).
T50 of Irradiated or Non-irradiated biotinylated Red Blood Cells Compared With 51Cr-Labeled Red Blood Cells
Lifespan of autologous irradiated RBC, expressed as Median lifespan (T50; time in days for 50% of labeled red cells remain in circulation)
Time frame: From immediately post infusion through Day 112 post-infusion (day 154 of the study, at approximately 16 weeks post transfusion).
Area under the curve (AUC) of Irradiated or Non-irradiated biotinylated Red Blood Cells Compared With 51Cr-Labeled Red Blood Cells
Area under the curve of autologous irradiated RBC, expressed as an integrated area of the parameter time (days) x percentage of remaining cells in circulation
Time frame: From immediately post infusion through Day 112 post-infusion (day 154 of the study, at approximately 16 weeks post transfusion).
Incidence of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events Following Infusion of Biotinylated and Irradiated Biotinylated Red Blood Cells
Number and proportion of subjects experiencing adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) with specific attention to: * Infusion reactions (e.g., fever, chills, rash, hypotension), Suspected transfusion related sepsis, Events meeting protocol defined stopping rules (e.g., hemolysis with anti BioRBC antibody), and Any AE judged possibly, probably, or definitely related to infusion of BioRBC or irradiated BioRBC.
Time frame: From Day 42 (infusion day) through Day 154 (approximately 16 weeks post transfusion)
Incidence of Antibodies Against Biotinylated Red Blood Cells After Infusion of BioRBC
Proportion of subjects who develop detectable antibodies specific to biotinylated RBC (anti BioRBC) following infusion of BioRBC
Time frame: From screening (up to 28 days before donation) through Day 112 post infusion (day 154 after red blood cell collection); extended follow up annually if anti BioRBC is detected until it disappears from circulation.
