Brief Summary
In this study, investigators will determine whether the early addition of HT-CCP to standard treatment improves the clinical outcome (as assessed by the Modified WHO Ordinal Scale) of patients with COVID-19 who are hospitalized but not yet in moderate or severe ARDS.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Modified WHO Ordinal Scale (MOS) score
The primary outcome will be the MOS numerical score (score 0-9) where a score of 0 attributes to 'no clinical evidence of infection' and a score of 9 attributes to 'death'. The eligibility requirements for this trial select individuals at level 3 or higher on the modified scale, but the day 14 outcome can be any one of 10 levels.
Day 14
Study Arms (2)
Arm A
EXPERIMENTALTwo units of apheresis HT-CCP, collected from the same donor whenever possible, will be administered sequentially over no greater than a 24-hour period to participants randomized to Arm A. Each unit of HT-CCP will be approximately 250 mL, for a total transfused volume of approximately 500 mL.
Arm B
PLACEBO COMPARATORTwo units of FFP or FP24 (each 200-275 mL, approximately 500 mL total) will be administered sequentially to participants randomized to Arm B. (FFP/FP24 unit volumes vary more than apheresis plasma units. Two FFP/FP24 units that are approximately 250 mL apiece will be provided.)
Interventions
250mL HT-CCP x2 doses given sequentially.
