Summary

The trial will evaluate the efficacy of the Mirasol Pathogen Reduction Technology for Whole Blood to prevent Malaria transmission by transfusion of whole blood.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Patient is blood group O+
  • Anticipated to be hospitalized for at least 3 consecutive days after initial study transfusion
  • Expected to require no more than 2 units of Fresh Whole Blood in the 3 days following randomization
  • Agree to return to the hospital for the follow-up visits
  • Women of Child Bearing Potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours before randomization when warranted and must agree to practice a medically acceptable contraception regimen or agree to abstain from heterosexual intercourse during their study participation.
  • Patient or legally authorized representative has given written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Symptoms of clinical malaria (confirmed by microscopy)
  • Patient has received antimalarial treatment within 7 days prior to randomization
  • Fever (Central body temperature greater than 38.5°C)
  • Massive bleeding expected to require more than two Fresh Whole Blood units within 3 days from randomization
  • Transfusion(s) of a blood product within 1 month prior to randomization
  • Acute or chronic medical disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment
  • Previous treatment with other pathogen-reduced blood products
  • Females who are pregnant
