  Purpose

To study the in vivo life span in healthy volunteers of red blood cells generated in vitro from autologous peripheral stem cells. The study will be carried out in 4 phases :

  • production in vitro of the equivalent of 1 ml of blood, i.e. 5x10e9 enucleated RBC from mononuclear cells isolated from an HSC graft obtained from a healthy volunteers donor.
  • labeling of these cRBC with 51 Cr
  • reinjection of the autologous cRBC
  • follow up of the receivers for a maximum 33 days to measure the half-life span of the injected cells.

Condition Intervention
Healthy Volunteers
 Biological: intravenous injection of labeled cRBC

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Bio-availability Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
Official Title: First Pilot Study Evaluating the Life Span of Autologous Cultured Red Blood Cells (cRBC) Generated From Peripheral Stem Cells in Three Healthy Volunteers - Feasibility Study

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Study of the life span in vivo of cultured Red Blood Cells. [ Time Frame: At T+24h, T+48h and day 30 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 1
Study Start Date: May 2010
Study Completion Date: February 2012
Primary Completion Date: November 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1

The choice of conducting the study in healthy volunteers and not in patients is based on the necessity to have a healthy physiological context avoiding any situation which could lead to hemolysis. As the protocol requires mobilization with a growth factor, the donors of peripheral stem cells (PSC) receive G-CSF.

Direct intravenous injection of labeled cRBC in a volume of 1 mL will be administered to the subjects.

 Biological: intravenous injection of labeled cRBC
This step will take place within 2 months after stem cell collection. Direct intravenous injection of labeled cRBC in a volume of 1 mL, in a room reserved for the administration of radioactive drugs, situated in the nuclear medicine clinic and adjacent to the preparation laboratory, for regulatory reasons.

      • ECG 12 derivations with no particularity;
      • Signature of a specific statement of informed consent to participate in the study of the life span of cRBC, in addition to the donation of HSC.

Exclusion Criteria:
