thrombosomes® in bleeding thrombocytopenic patients study

Conditions: Thrombocytopenia; Hematologic Malignancy; Bone Marrow Aplasia; Myeloproliferative Disorders; Myelodysplastic Syndromes; Platelet Refractoriness

Summary: this prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase 2, parallel, dose ranging, multidose trial will enroll patients into 3 thrombosomes dose groups and 1 control liquid stored platelets (lsp) group in order to evaluate, in a dose-escalation manner, the safety, and impact on bleeding, and the preliminary effect on coagulation measures of increasing doses of allogeneic thrombosomes in comparison to standard of care, lsp.
