Transfusion-Associated Microchimerism in Individuals Receiving a Blood Transfusion After a Traumatic Injury

NCT00400192 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Individuals who experience a traumatic injury often have a significant amount of blood loss and may require a blood transfusion. In some individuals who receive a blood transfusion, white blood cells from the donor's blood may remain in the body for years, a condition known as microchimerism. This study will examine the reasons why microchimerism occurs in some blood transfusion recipients and not others.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00400192

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00400192 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 451 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Vitalant Research Institute, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with Wounds and Injuries appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00400192 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
