Healthy blood donors give whole blood after a growth factor shot
This early (Phase 1) study tests whether giving a growth factor injection (rhu-G-CSF) to healthy volunteers can help collect whole blood for research. It looks at safety and whether the donated blood can be collected under specific health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy male age 18 to 60
- You can donate whole blood for research and agree to required testing
- Your weight is at least 50 kg and your BMI is under 30
- Your blood counts fit the limits (hemoglobin, platelets, white cells and neutrophils)
- You must have normal heart/lung findings and an ECG on screening
- You have no major medical history or medicines that would be excluded

This study tests a better way to collect white blood cells from healthy people who donate blood. It may help improve how reliably and safely white blood cells are collected for research or future treatments.
This trial tests whether giving a stem cell-mobilizing medicine (G-CSF) at a specific time of day based on your natural sleep/wake rhythm can improve the collection of blood stem cells from healthy donors. It aims to make the donation process more efficient and comfortable.
This study tests improved ways to select and collect bone marrow cells from healthy donors for use in transplants. Researchers are looking for healthy volunteers to donate cells that may help people who need bone marrow transplants.
This trial compares giving a single dose of G-CSF versus splitting it into two doses to see which works better for collecting stem cells from healthy bone marrow donors. The goal is to find a simpler and possibly more comfortable way to help donors produce enough stem cells for transplant.
This Phase 3 study tests using filgrastim (a medicine that helps stem cells leave the bone marrow) to collect stem cells from unrelated donors for transplant. It focuses on donor safety and whether this collection method works well enough for transplantation.
This trial collects your own blood-forming stem cells (special cells that make blood) to advance gene therapy treatments for genetic bone marrow failure syndromes. Researchers will use growth factors to mobilize these cells into your bloodstream, then collect them through a process called apheresis—similar to donating blood plasma.
