Study Arms (3)

Convalescent plasma

EXPERIMENTAL

Plasma from patients recovering from COVID-19.

Biological: COVID-19 convalescent plasma

Anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin

EXPERIMENTAL

Anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin to be administered intravenously.

Biological: Anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin

Standard (specific) therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard therapy for COVID-19 according to the recommended pharmacological recommendations of the Colombian Association of Infectious Diseases - ACIN. This therapy is subject to changes that are defined by the Colombian Health Regulatory Authorities. To date, these therapies may include remdesivir, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin.

Drug: Standard (specific) therapy for COVID-19

Interventions

Plasma from convalescent patients with COVID-19 and at the same time receiving supportive therapy, with inactivation / reduction of pathogens, in the scheme of two doses of 200 - 250 mL administered on days 1 and 3 of the intervention.

Convalescent plasma

Anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin produced by Lifefactors Zona Franca S.A.S, intravenously at a dose of immunoglobulin 10% IgG solution (10% mL vial) for: Patient of 50 Kg or more, a dose of 50 mL, administered on days 1 and 3 of treatment. Patient under 50 Kg, the dose will be 1 mL / Kg, administered on days 1 and 3 of treatment. The supply of anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin produced by Lifefactors Zona Franca S.A.S included once it has been authorized by INVIMA and/or the regulatory requirements in force for the production of drugs are met.

Anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin

Standard therapy for COVID-19 according to the recommended pharmacological recommendations of the Colombian Association of Infectious Diseases - ACIN. This therapy is subject to changes that are defined by the Colombian Health Regulatory Authorities. To date, these therapies may include remdesivir, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Obtaining the informed written consent before carrying out the study procedures, by the patients.
  • Adult patients ≥18 years at the time of recruitment for the study.
  • Patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by polymerase chain reaction on nasal/oropharyngeal swabs or any other relevant specimen \<72 hours before randomization.
  • Patients requiring hospitalization for COVID-19 without mechanical ventilation (invasive or non-invasive, including an oxygen mask with reserve bag) and at least one of the following:
  • Radiographic evidence of pulmonary infiltrates by images (chest radiography, computed tomography, etc.),
  • Clinical evaluation (evidence of rales/crackles on examination) and oxygen saturation ≤ 94% in ambient air requiring supplemental oxygen.
  • Patient with no more than 72 hours (3 days) of hospitalization prior to the administration of PC treatment (except the days after initial hospital admission for other reasons and prior to COVID-19 infection).
  • Patients who do not have more than 10 days between the onset of symptoms (fever or cough) and the day of administration of treatment or the demonstration of the absence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (patients with more than 10 days of symptoms they can only be included if a negative antibody result has been confirmed).

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient in a state of pregnancy.
  • Require mechanical ventilation (invasive or non-invasive, including oxygen mask with reserve bag) on examination.
  • Participation in any other clinical trial of an experimental treatment for COVID-19.
  • At the discretion of the clinical team, progression to death is imminent and inevitable within the next 24 hours, regardless of the provision of treatments.
  • Any incompatibility or allergy to the administration of plasma of human origin.
  • Severe chronic kidney disease in stage 4 or requiring dialysis (that is, glomerular filtration rate \<30).
  • Any condition that in the investigator's opinion limits participation in the study.
