Brief Summary
Randomized controlled trial to analyse adjuvant therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in severe Covid-19 associated coagulopathy and systemic inflammation compared to current standard of care (SOC). A total of three TPEs (d1, 3, 5) will be performed in the intervention group. Primary endpoint is the reversibility of relative ADAMTS13 deficiency (indicated by the change in ADAMTS13 / VWF:Ag ratio from day 1 to 7).

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Proven SARS-CoV2 infection
- Severe Covid-19 (indicated by respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation)
- Evidence of coagulopathy (indicated by D-dimer \> 10 mg/L)

You may not qualify if:
- Participation in another study with investigational drug within the 30 days preceding and during the present study,
- Previous enrolment into the current study.
- Extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
