A Phase III multi-center clinical trial of HBOC-201, a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier, manufactured by Biopure Corporation, was relatively safe in patients under 80 years old who have a moderate need for transfusion, up to the equivalent of three units of regular blood, says a study published in the June edition of the Journal of Trauma.

This study is the first Phase III trial to compare a blood substitute to regular blood and was conducted at 46 sites in the United States, Europe and South Africa.

The six-week study involved 688 patients, ages 18 and older, undergoing elective orthopedic surgery, since these procedures often have a high need for blood transfusions. Patients initially received either one unit of blood, which is about a pint, or received an equivalent one unit or 65 grams of HBOC-201.
