- NCT05038722Enrolling by invitation
Testing how platelet transfusions work in people with low platelets
This study looks at platelet transfusions—how they’re used and whether platelets function well—for people with blood cancers who have low platelet counts. It may help improve transfusion care for people who need platelet support.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT05763446Recruiting

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 - NCT05384691RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for anemia in lower-risk MDS not needing transfusions
This Phase 2 trial studies whether luspatercept can improve anemia in people with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who do not currently need red-blood-cell transfusions. It’s also looking to see if the benefit is similar whether or not you have ring sideroblasts.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06414655Recruiting
Twin pregnancy study: tracking mothers and babies
This study follows mothers expecting twins from early pregnancy through delivery. It helps doctors learn more about caring for twin pregnancies and their babies in China.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–45 - NCT05773729Recruiting
Gene-modified own stem cell treatment for transfusion-dependent thalassemia
This trial tests a one-time treatment that uses your own (autologous) stem cells that have been changed by gene methods, then returned to you to help manage transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. It aims to check safety and whether it can reduce the need for frequent blood transfusions or improve blood health.
ShanghaiAges 3–18 - NCT05776173Recruiting
Gene-modified stem cell treatment for transfusion-dependent thalassemia
This trial tests whether giving you your own (autologous) gene-modified blood stem cells can improve transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia and its safety. It may help people who do not have a fully matched donor and need an alternative approach to care.
ShanghaiAges 6–35 - NCT01390675Recruiting
Registry for heart valve replacement anesthesia during TAVR
This study tracks patients who get a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR), a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve without open-heart surgery. It looks at the type of anesthesia used during the procedure and records outcomes to learn what works best for patients.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07781540Recruiting
Iron deficiency at ICU discharge
This study checks if patients leaving the ICU have low iron levels. It may help doctors understand and treat iron deficiency after a serious illness.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT03934112Recruiting
Studies transfusion practices in intensive care
This trial looks at how blood transfusions were used in intensive care units and how that affected illness and survival. It may help improve transfusion decisions for future ICU patients.
BesançonAges Any age - NCT06056635Recruiting
Study of special telescopes for fetal surgery
This study tests two types of small cameras (fetoscopes) to see how well they work for surgery on a baby before birth. Doctors want to learn if these tools can safely perform fetal procedures.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT07656415RecruitingPhase 3
Study of mitapivat for sickle cell disease patients who need blood transfusions
This study tests whether a daily pill called mitapivat can reduce the number of blood transfusions you need. It is for people with sickle cell disease who have had at least one transfusion in the past year and are not on regular transfusion therapy.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 12 years+ - NCT05924100RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for lower red blood counts in MDS with del5q
This Phase 2 trial studies luspatercept to improve anemia (low red blood cells) in people with MDS that has a del5q change. It also checks safety, especially for people who need red blood cell transfusions and have not benefited from prior standard treatments.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05864170RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tested injection for severe transfusion-dependent thalassemia
This early-stage study tests the safety and possible benefits of an injection called HGI-001 for people with severe transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia. It may help by preparing you for stem cell transplant, but you must meet several health and lab criteria and be able to return often for follow-up tests.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–35 - NCT05851105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study drug for severe alpha thalassemia in people needing regular transfusions
This early-phase trial studies HGI-002 to see if it’s safe and can help people with severe alpha thalassemia who need frequent blood transfusions. It also requires planning for a special treatment approach that includes busulfan pre-treatment and stem cell transplantation.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 12–35 - NCT06399536Recruiting
Individualized blood management for major non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests a personalized approach to managing your own blood during surgery, which may reduce the need for donor blood transfusions. It is for people having planned non-cardiac surgery expected to need a large amount of blood.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT05170633Recruiting
Warming treatment for very preterm babies after blood transfusion
This study looks at whether a specific “blood warming” approach can help very preterm babies keep their body temperature from getting too low (hypothermia). It’s intended to reduce temperature drops around the time they receive red blood cell transfusions.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT05806346Recruiting
TXA dosing for heart surgery patients on bypass
This trial studies whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) based on patient needs during heart surgery works better than a one-size-fits-all approach. It may help reduce bleeding during surgery, while monitoring for clotting-related side effects.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - 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 - NCT07532824RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Proton Radiation and Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Blood Cancers
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy (proton-based) combined with a stem cell transplant from a donor to treat advanced forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to improve survival in patients with aggressive or hard-to-treat disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transfusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 122 recruiting 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 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 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.
