Recruiting studies
- NCT06450834Enrolling by invitation
Ostene in planned open back spine surgery
This trial tests an experimental bone healing material, Ostene, during spine surgery. It may help reduce scar tissue and improve fusion. You are likely eligible if you are having planned open back surgery for nerve decompression and fusion.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT07536152RecruitingPhase 4
Antihistamine to prevent allergic reactions during heart surgery
This study tests whether giving an antihistamine (a common allergy medication) before heart surgery can prevent allergic-type reactions that sometimes happen during the surgery itself. The trial includes children with certain types of congenital heart disease (heart problems present from birth).
Giza, OctoberAges 1–7 - NCT07062250Recruiting
Home blood tests and transfusions for new AML patients
This trial tests whether people with newly diagnosed AML can safely check their own blood counts at home and receive transfusions there while getting chemotherapy at home. If it works, you may need fewer hospital visits.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06230198Recruiting
Effect of a blood-saving technique on transfusions after heart surgery
This trial tests whether a technique called retrograde autologous priming (using the patient's own blood to prepare the heart-lung machine) can reduce the need for blood transfusions during heart surgery. It is looking at hospitals and surgical teams, not individual patients, so it's not a typical trial you can join directly.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 10–110 - NCT06414031RecruitingPhase 3
Transfusion reduction in abdominal surgery with tranexamic acid
This trial tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid can help reduce the need for blood transfusions during major abdominal surgeries. It's for people having surgery to remove part of the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, or liver.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05213806Recruiting
Pausing feeding during blood transfusions for very premature babies
This trial looks at whether it’s safer to temporarily withhold (pause) breast milk or formula feeds around the time of a blood transfusion in very premature babies. It may help reduce gut-related complications like NEC, a serious intestinal problem.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges Up to 7 months - NCT03204357Recruiting
Using your own blood after heart-lung machine surgery
This trial studies giving a “fresh” blood transfusion from your own blood after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help patients avoid needing donated blood, but it only works for people who meet specific safety and timing requirements.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT05401175Recruiting
Self-transfusion to protect bone marrow during cervical cancer treatment
This trial studies whether returning your own blood stem cells back to you (from a processed blood sample) can help protect your bone marrow while you receive chemotherapy and/or radiation for cervical cancer. It may help reduce treatment-related damage to the bone marrow that produces blood cells.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT07466719Recruiting
Comparing two ways to give blood transfusions during c-section for heavy bleeding
This trial tests if using a manual syringe or an automatic pressure bag is better and safer for giving blood transfusions to women who have major bleeding during a cesarean section. It aims to find which method works faster and with fewer complications.
AswānAges 18–45 - NCT03849443RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding after spine fusion
This trial studies whether a single dose or multiple doses of tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce the chance you need a blood transfusion after spine fusion surgery. It also compares two different ways TXA may be given (by mouth and through a vein) to see which approach works best and is safe.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07422480RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing elritercept to epoetin alfa for anemia in MDS needing transfusions
This trial tests a new drug called elritercept against a standard treatment, epoetin alfa, for people with a low-risk form of MDS who need regular blood transfusions for anemia. The goal is to see if elritercept works better to reduce the need for transfusions.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04760977Recruiting
HEMS care for bleeding trauma with low blood pressure
This trial studies how emergency helicopter (HEMS) teams manage trauma patients who have signs of shock from blood loss, especially when bleeding is suspected or ongoing. It may help teams choose the best pre-hospital approach to stabilize you sooner.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05054257RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T19 for hard-to-treat blood cancers that have CD19
This Phase 1 study tests CAR T cells designed to attack cancer cells that carry a marker called CD19. It’s for adults with certain relapsed or treatment-resistant B-cell leukemias (ALL) or lymphomas (NHL) where other treatments may not have worked.
PragueAges 18–80 - NCT06023056Recruiting
Hepatitis B vaccine after newborn surgery
This trial tests whether giving the hepatitis B vaccine to full-term newborns who had multiple stomach or intestine surgeries is safe and works well. It aims to protect these babies from hepatitis B infection.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06499285RecruitingPhase 3
Study of elritercept for anemia in low-risk MDS needing transfusions
This trial tests an investigational drug called elritercept for adults with a specific type of low-risk MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes) who have anemia (low red blood cells) and need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to see if elritercept can reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06542393RecruitingPhase 2
Blood management for anemic patients having bypass surgery
This trial tests a blood management strategy to help people with anemia who are having coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). If you qualify, you may receive a treatment to improve your blood counts before surgery, which could reduce the need for transfusions.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–80 - NCT06682416Recruiting
Does the temperature of pain relief medicine affect fever during labor?
This study tests whether using a warmer or cooler numbing medicine during an epidural changes the chance of a mother developing a fever during labor. If you are planning an epidural for vaginal delivery, this trial may help improve pain relief and reduce fever risk.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06765876RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for CD123+ blood cancers
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR T-cells that target a protein called CD123 on cancer cells. It is for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS-IB2, BPDCN, or ALL) that have come back or not responded to other treatments.
PragueAges 18–70 - NCT06938789Recruiting
Bleeding and confusion after hip fracture in older adults
This study looks at how bleeding after a hip fracture might affect confusion (delirium) in older adults. It will help doctors understand how to better manage bleeding to prevent confusion.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 75 years+ - NCT06944067Recruiting
Genetic risk of immune response after blood transfusions in sickle cell disease
This study looks at whether certain genes make people with sickle cell disease more likely to develop an immune reaction to blood transfusions. It aims to help doctors predict transfusion risks and improve care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT07191678Recruiting
Gut health in preterm babies receiving blood transfusions
This study looks at how different types of feeding affect the gut of very preterm babies when they receive a blood transfusion. If your baby qualifies, the team will do extra monitoring and ultrasound scans to learn more about gut health during transfusions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for blood transfusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 recruiting blood transfusion studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a blood transfusion trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a blood transfusion trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
