PG - 1789-1798 LID - 10.1111/trf.16389 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Source plasma is essential to support the growing demand for plasma-derived medicinal products. Supply is short, with donor availability further limited by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study examined whether a novel, personalized, technology-based nomogram was noninferior with regard to significant hypotensive adverse events (AEs) in healthy donors. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: IMPACT (IMproving PlasmA CollecTion) was a prospective, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial carried out between January 6 and March 26, 2020, in three U.S plasma collection centers. Donors were randomly assigned to the current simplified 1992 nomogram (control) or a novel percent plasma nomogram (PPN) with personalized target volume calculation (experimental). Primary endpoint was the rate of significant hypotensive AEs. Noninferiority (NI) was tested with a margin of 0.15%. Collected plasma volume was a secondary endpoint. RESULTS: A total of 3443 donors (mean [SD] BMI: 32 [7.74] kg/m(2) ; 65% male) underwent 23,137 donations (median [range]: 6 [1-22] per subject). Ten significant hypotensive AEs were observed (six control; four experimental), with model-based AE incidence rate estimates (95% CI) of 0.051% (0.020%-0.114%) and 0.035% (0.010%-0.094%), respectively (p = .58). NI was met at an upper limit of 0.043% versus the predefined margin of 0.15%. There was no statistical difference between total AEs (all AE types: p = .32). Mean plasma volume collected was 777.8 ml (control) versus 841.7 ml (experimental); an increase of 63.9 ml per donation (8.2%; p < .0001). CONCLUSION: This trial showed that a novel personalized nomogram approach in healthy donors allowed approximately 8% more plasma per donation to be collected without impairing donor safety.
