NCT04524507

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out if CCP is safe and to determine the safest and most effective level of anti-viral antibody when given to people admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 infection. Participants enrolled on this study will be transfused with 2 units of CCP through an IV. These units will be given one at a time 4 to 24 hours apart. Participants will be randomized to receive either 2 units with standard antibody levels as recommended by the FDA or 2 units with an antibody level higher than that recommended by the FDA. This study is experimental and CCP is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19. The CCP is collected per FDA guidelines from persons recovered from COVID-19 infection. The plasma contains antibodies and possibly other properties that inhibit the virus. The investigators do not know if the level of antibodies present in the CCP will make a difference in how the participant's body is able to fight the infection and hope to learn that in this study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Total Number of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) Through Study Day 14

    Total number of SAE among all participants through Day 14; Definition of SAE per protocol and will only be included if related to COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma (CCP): 1. Death; 2. Life-threatening (immediate risk of death); 3. Prolongation of existing hospitalization; 4. Persistent or significant disability or incapacity; OR 5. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require intervention or escalation of care may be considered a serious adverse event when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization.

    14 days

  • Median Time to Hospital Discharge (or Discharge Equivalent) Following First Dose of CCP

    Median number of days to hospital discharge following first dose of CCP among all participants.

    up to 28 days

Study Arms (2)

High-Titer (CCP1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Within 8 days of COVID symptom onset and no more than 48 hours following hospitalization, participants will be randomized to and receive high-titer ABO-compatible convalescent COVID-19 plasma (CCP1) within 24 hours following random assignment.

Biological: High-titer Convalescent COVID-19 Plasma (CCP1)

Standard-Titer (CCP2)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Within 8 days of COVID symptom onset and no more than 48 hours following hospitalization, participants will be randomized to and receive standard-titer ABO-compatible convalescent COVID-19 plasma (CCP2) within 24 hours following random assignment.

Biological: Standard-titer Convalescent COVID-19 plasma (CCP2)

Interventions

At least two units of CCP transfused 4-24 hours apart on Study Day 0. A third unit may be administered, if available.

High-Titer (CCP1)

At least two units of CCP transfused 4-24 hours apart on Study Day 0. A third unit may be administered, if available.

Standard-Titer (CCP2)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 99 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age at least 18 years
  • Ability and willingness of participant or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) to give written informed consent.
  • Laboratory confirmed diagnosis of infection with SARS-CoV-2 by PCR
  • Hospitalized for COVID-19 with one or more respiratory or gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms:
  • COVID-19 associated respiratory symptoms include but are not limited to: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or sore throat
  • COVID-19 associated GI symptoms include but are not limited to: loss of taste, loss of sense of smell, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting,
  • Note: Respiratory and GI symptoms other than those listed above, must be noted as acceptable and signed by study PI or designee.

You may not qualify if:

  • Receipt of pooled immunoglobulin in past 30 days
  • Current or prior enrollment in a SARS-CoV-2 antibody or T-cell therapeutic study.
  • Note: Patients enrolled on other randomized controlled trials of pharmaceutical and/or non-pharmaceutical interventions for COVID and meeting eligibility criteria will not be excluded, as determined by study PI (or designee) on a case-by-case basis and as allowed by eligibility criteria of the other trials.
  • Contraindication to transfusion or history of prior reactions to transfusion blood products. This may include religious or cultural objections to receiving blood products and transfusions.
  • ABO-compatible titered plasma is not available
  • \> 10 days from noted COVID-related subjective or objective fever at randomization. Patients without subjective or objective fever, \> 10 days from symptom onset as determined by study PI.
