Study description

This post-market clinical follow-up study is a noninterventional, prospective, open-label, multi-center, non-controlled, non-randomized, observational study of patients transfused with pathogen reduced platelet and/or plasma components treated with the amotosalen/UVA technology (hereafter referred to as INTERCEPT Platelets and/or INTERCEPT Plasmas). Data on use of and patient outcomes associated with the use of all INTERCEPT Platelet and/or INTERCEPT Plasma components under surveillance at each site will be collected prospectively. Participating facilities will provide transfusion services and monitor transfusions based on routine standards of care and procedures. Investigators will provide data on all transfusion reactions (TRs) occurring within the first 24 hours of each INTERCEPT transfusion, and all Serious Transfusion Reactions (STRs) occurring up to 7 days after each INTERCEPT transfusion (safety monitoring period). Transfusion Reaction is defined as an adverse event that is “possibly, probably (likely), or certainly (definitely)” related to an INTERCEPT transfusion. The number of non-INTERCEPT components transfused to enrolled patients within 24 hours of a TR will also be recorded. Any TRs that are related to non-INTERCEPT components will be documented as “excluded” or “unlikely (doubtful)” in association with the INTERCEPT component. No additional data will be collected on non-INTERCEPT components.
