APHERESIS STUDY
Help Accelerate Multiple Myeloma Research
Why Your Participation Matters
Did you know your white blood cells can make a big difference? By donating these cells through a process called apheresis, you can help researchers find new life-saving therapeutics and develop medical breakthroughs for multiple myeloma.
Blood will be collected from one arm, and a small amount of white blood cells will be separated off through a machine. Your blood is returned normally to your other arm.
You will be screened to confirm study eligibility prior to being scheduled for any donations. Our trained medical team is by your side every step of the way.
Pre-Screening
Submit a health profile by answering basic questions about your medical history.
