1 Experimental Use of Convalescent Plasma for Passive Immunization in Current COVID-19 Pandemic in Pakistan in 2020

Experimental Use of Convalescent Plasma of Passive Immunisation In Current COVID-19 Pandemic in Pakistan in 2020 Rationale & Objective: This study would help to gather real-life setting clinical data in local population, ultimately leading to increased evidence based management of the disease condition in the said population. Eligibility: 1. informed consent must have been obtained 2. confirmed COVID-19 cases confirmed by RT-PCR laboratory tests 3. moderately severe or severe life-threatening COVID-19 related features: a) Moderately Severe disease as defined by the following features: i) Shortness of breath, ii) respiratory rate ≥ 30/min, iii) arterial blood oxygen saturation ≤ 92%, iv) and/or lung infiltrates > 25% within 24 to 48 hours 67 b) Severe Life-threatening disease as defined by: i) respiratory failure, ii) shock, and/or § multiple organ dysfunction Exclusion Criteria: Allergy history of plasma, sodium citrate and methylene blue; 2. For patients with history of autoimmune system diseases or selective IgA deficiency, 3. the application of convalescent plasma should be evaluated cautiously by clinicians. 4. Patients having evidence of uncontrolled cytokine release syndrome leading to end-stage multiorgan failure. Methodology: Total sample size is n=2000. A case report form (CRF) will have to be generated for each corona virus patient at baseline and the completion of study endpoint (at the time of discharge and at 4 weeks after experimental treatment modality using convalescent plasma. - A unique identification number will be issued for each patient in this protocol. - This data will be recorded in the national database. Data sources & Analysis: Patient data originating from patient medical record and assessments (mentioned in table below) will be recorded in the study CRF. Safety data (AEs and SAEs) from any time point during the study will be recorded in the study CRF. All analyses will be performed by third party statistician on SPSS. For continuous variables, summary statistics included n (number of observations), mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values, as well as frequencies and percentages for categorical variables will be presented.

NCT04352751 Covid-19 Other: convalescent plasma

Primary Outcomes

Description: Improvement in disease severity will be regarded as a shift from Critical to Severe or from Severe to Mild disease category. The various disease categories are defined as following (17): Mild COVID-19, defined by the absence of features given in criteria for moderate and severe disease. Severe COVID-19, defined by the presence of any of the following features: i. Shortness of breath ii. Respiratory rate ≥ 30/min, iii. Arterial blood oxygen saturation ≤ 93%, iiii. Lung infiltrates > 50% within 24 to 48 hours c. Critical COVID-19, defined by the presence of any of the following features: i. Respiratory failure, ii. Shock iii. Multiple organ dysfunction

Measure: Change in COVID-19 severity status

Time: Up to 09 days

2 DETERMINATION OF THE DOSE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CONVALESCENT PLASMA IN SEVERELY AND VERY SEVERELY ILL PATIENTS BY COVID-19

The present study will try to respond first in an initial phase, what is the minimum effective dose necessary of convalescent plasma for getting better in severly ill (not intubated) or very severely ill (intubated) patients. Once the dose will be determined by each type of patient group (severely ill vs. very severely ill) has been determined, phase 2 of the study will begin, where the safety and efficacy of the use of plasma will be evaluated based on clinical, imaging and laboratory criteria. So, our hypotheses are: 1. Is there a minimum effective dose to treat seriously ill patients with convalescent plasma with COVID-19? 2. the plasma dose with the minimum effective effect will improve the clinical, laboratory and clearance conditions of the presence of the virus in the severely ill patient?

NCT04356482 COVID-19 SARS-CoV 2 Convalescence Plasma Doses Biological: convalescent plasma
MeSH:Convalescence

Primary Outcomes

3 Phase 2b/3 Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Plasma Transfusion From Convalescent Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Infection on Severity and Mortality of COVID-19 in Hospitalized Patients.

This is a multicenter double blinded study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of convalescent plasma from COVID-19 recovered individuals to treat hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 disease. The study will enroll 250 subjects who will be randomized 1:1 to receive convalescent plasma or normal saline solution in a blinded manner. The primary endpoint will be mortality and improvement on the 8 point WHO scale over 28 days. An interim analysis will be done when 24 patients have completed their follow up to assess safety and also to confirm or adjust the sample size and randomization strategy according to observed endpoints.
