2 Convalescent Plasma for Treatment of COVID-19: An Exploratory Dose Identifying Study

Convalescent plasma has been shown to be safe and effective for treatment of several diseases. Preliminary data indicates that it is safe and effective for treatment of COVID. However, data is limited to small studies and case series on severely ill patients. In a preliminary safety study 10 patients with severe COVID-19, defined as requiring supplementary oxygen, having fever and a duration of illness less than 11 days were treated with 200 ml of CP. CP was given as a slow infusion without obvious adverse events. Eight patients had viremia. One patient rapidly cleared the virus and recovered following CP treatment. CP infusion did not appear to clear viremia in 7/8 patients. Five of these were eventually admitted to ICU. Thus CP did not appear to cause acute toxicity but did not seem to be effective at the dose used. Viremia seemed to be a marker of a high risk of disease progression The proposed study thus aims to treat a high risk population identified by having viremia irrespective of but hopefully before they develop pulmonary injury such that they require supplementary oxygen therapy. Moreover the dose of plasma will be increased incrementally with the aim of clearing viremia as our initial study indicates that continued viremia is driving COVID-19.

NCT04384497 COVID-19 Biological: SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma

Primary Outcomes

Description: Progression to non-invasive or invasive ventilation or a sustained requirement of 15L of supplementary oxygen therapy in patients that are not eligible for intensive care treatment.

Adverse events related to convalescent plasma therapy shall be followed to assess reversibility.

3 Plasma From Individuals Who Have Recovered From Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection as Treatment for Acute COVID-19 Disease

There is currently no effective treatment for COVID-19 except best supportive care. The aim is assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of convalescent plasma for treatment of patients with varying degrees of COVID-19 illness. Convalescent plasma has been shown to be safe and effective for treatment of several diseases. Preliminary data indicates that it is safe and effective for treatment of COVID-19. However, data is limited to small studies and case series on severely ill patients. The proposed study assesses the safety and efficacy earlier in the course of illness, in slightly less severe patients with the possibility of detecting less severe adverse events and the potential for early treatment to hinder the development of severe disease. Plasma is collected from consenting donors who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2.
