Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that your medications be stable for 2 months before joining, so you may not need to stop them if they have been stable. However, you cannot use anti-coagulant therapy, and daily aspirin is allowed if the dose is stable for 30 days before joining.

What data supports the effectiveness of plasma transfusion as a treatment?

Plasma transfusion is effective in treating complex bleeding disorders, especially in cases of massive transfusion, certain blood clotting disorders, and liver disease. It is also the preferred treatment for conditions like thrombotic-thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Additionally, solvent/detergent-treated plasma is associated with fewer allergic reactions compared to fresh frozen plasma.12345

Is plasma transfusion generally safe for humans?

Plasma transfusion can cause some adverse reactions, such as allergic reactions, lung injury, and fluid overload, but these are often not severe and can be treated. The risk of infection is very low due to safety measures, and most adverse effects are manageable in clinical practice.678910

How does plasma transfusion differ from other treatments for bleeding disorders?

Plasma transfusion is unique because it involves administering plasma, which contains all the soluble coagulation factors, to help stop or prevent bleeding. Unlike other treatments, plasma transfusion can be used in emergency situations when clotting test results are unavailable, and it is particularly indicated for complex bleeding conditions like massive transfusion or liver disease.13111213

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial studies the effects of regular treatments using plasma from young healthy male donors on patients older than 40 years. The goal is to see if the young plasma can rejuvenate the body and improve functions like cognition, muscle strength, and organ health.
