Single-dose vs divided-dose G-CSF for healthy stem cell donors
Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Single-dose and Divided-dose G-CSF for Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Mobilization in Healthy Donors for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University · NCT07692841 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether giving G-CSF as one daily dose or split into two doses helps healthy donors mobilize enough stem cells for transplantation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 18-60 (or up to 65 per eligibility), meeting standard donor criteria and able to provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Donors with unidentified contraindications or who do not respond to G-CSF may not experience benefit in cell yield.

What this trial studies
In healthy allogeneic stem cell donors, receiving G-CSF is standard to mobilize CD34+ cells, but the best dosing pattern (single vs divided daily doses) is not established. This Phase 3 trial compares two administration strategies to see which yields enough CD34+ cells and supports successful engraftment with acceptable safety. The study uses 5 days of G-CSF at 10 μg/kg/day and measures primary and secondary endpoints related to cell yield, engraftment timing, immune cell composition, and donor safety. It aims to provide high-quality evidence, including considerations for Asian donor populations. Conducted across multiple Zhejiang University-affiliated centers, it seeks to optimize donor experience and stem cell collection outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, donors and recipients could experience improved collection efficiency and potentially better engraftment with fewer adverse events.
How similar studies have gone: Previous trials show mixed results and small samples; this study aims to provide clearer level I evidence in a larger, possibly more diverse population.
