NCT04376034

Brief Summary

This is a prospective study, involving contacting potential plasma donors and the use of their plasma to help fight off infections of those suffering from COVID19 in accordance to collection guidelines for plasma and FDA IND requirement. This study will include up to 240 participants potentially receiving convalescent plasma and up to 1000 potential donors. There are 3 basic arms to the study: mild, moderate and severe/critical severity. All 3 severity groups are eligible for enrollment, but mild severity will not be given plasma unless there is progression. Moderate severity will given up to 1 unit of plasma and severe/critical severity up to 2 units. There is no placebo group, however given the excepted issues of shortages of plasma, intention to treat will be used for analysis.

    Measured in days for 365 days

  • Plasma Recipient

    Time from consent to infusion

    Measured evey 24 hours up to 30 days

  • Plasma Recipient

    Survival

    Measured in days with 30 day from discharge follow-up

Study Arms (3)

Mild Severity

OTHER

Eligible to enroll in study and will be monitored for progression. Will not initially receive plasma.

Other: Standard of Care

Moderate Severity

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Adult patients will be treated with 1 unit (200mL) of convalescent plasma Pediatric patients will be treated with 10mg/kg up to 1 unit of convalescent plasma.

Biological: Convalescent Plasma 1 Unit

Severe or Critical Severity

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Adult patients will be treated with up to 2 units of convalescent plasma Pediatric patients will be treated with 10mg/kg up to 2 units of convalescent plasma.

Biological: Convalescent Plasma 2 Units

Interventions

Each adult recipient will receive 1 units of plasma, each unit will consist of about 200 to 250 mL. Each pediatric recipient will receive 10mL/kg up to 1 unit of plasma.

Moderate Severity

Those that meet severe or critical criteria will be given 2 units if available or 1 unit if 2 units are not available. Those that are given 1 unit may receive the second unit (or the remainder of the maximum pediatric weight calculated amount of plasma up to 1 additional unit) if they progress to severe or critical condition or if already in severe or critical condition but only received 1 unit secondary to shortages. Each pediatric recipient will receive 10mL/kg up to 2 units of plasma.

Severe or Critical Severity

Those that meet mild severity will be allowed to enroll in the study, but will not receive plasma unless there is progression of illness into the moderate/rapid progression or greater category.

Mild Severity
