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?

4 Convalescent Plasma Transfusion Therapy in Severe COVID-19 Patients- a Tolerability, Efficacy and Dose-response Phase II RCT

As of March 18, 2020, COVID-19 cases were reported in approximately 195 countries. No specific therapeutic agents or vaccines for COVID-19 are available. Several therapies, such as remdesivir and favipiravir, are under investigation, but the antiviral efficacy of these drugs is not yet known. The use of convalescent plasma (CP) was recommended as an empirical treatment during outbreaks of Ebola virus in 2014. A protocol for treatment of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) with CP was established in 2015. This approach with other viral infections such as SARS-CoV, H5N1 avian influenza, and H1N1 influenza also suggested that transfusion of CP was effective. In previous reports, most of the patients received the CP by single transfusion. In a study involving patients with pandemic influenza A(H1N1) 2009 virus infection, treatment of severe infection with CP (n = 20 patients) was associated with reduced respiratory tract viral load, serum cytokine response, and mortality. In another study involving 80 patients with SARS, the administration of CP was associated with a higher rate of hospital discharge at day 22 from symptom onset compared with patients who did not receive CP. Accordingly, these findings raise the hypothesis that use of CP transfusion could be beneficial in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study is to describe the initial clinical experience with CP transfusion administered to severe COVID-19 patients. The primary endpoint of this trial would be to assess the tolerability, efficacy, and dose-response of CP in severe COVID-19 patients. The secondary endpoint would be to assess the clinical and laboratory parameters after therapy, in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, reduction in the proportion of deaths, length of ICU stay, requirement of ventilator and duration of ventilator support. All RT-PCR positive cases with features of severe infection will be enrolled in this study. Apheretic CP will be collected from a recovered patient (consecutive two RT-PCR samples negative) between day 22 to 35 days of recovery and those with the antibody titre above 1:320. This RCT will consist of three arms, a. standard care, b. standard care and 200 ml CP and c. standard care and 400 ml CP as a single transfusion. Twenty (20) patients will be enrolled for each arm. Randomization will be done by someone not associated with the care or assessment of the patients by means of a random number table. Allocations will be concealed in sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes. Clinical parameters [fever, cough, dyspnea, respiratory rate, PaO2/ FiO2 level, pulse, BP, the requirement of O2, and others] will be recorded before and after CP. Laboratory parameters such as complete blood count, CRP, chest X-ray, SGPT, SGOT, S. Ferritin, and serum antibody titre will be measured before and after transfusion. Allergic or serum sickness-like reactions will be noted and adjusted with outcome. Laboratory tests including RT-PCR will be done at BSMMU virology and laboratory medicine department. Apheretic plasma will be collected at the transfusion medicine department of SHNIBPS hospital, ELISA, antibody titre will be done at CMBT, and patients will be enrolled at DMC and MuMCH. All necessary screening tests will be done before transfusion. Graphpad Prism v 7.0 will be used for analysis. One way ANOVA test, a non-parametric Mann-Whitney test, and a Kruskal-Wallis test will be performed to compare the arms. For parametric outcomes, the investigators will compare the odds ratios across the pairs.

5 Convalescent Plasma Therapy in Patients With COVID-19

Scientists and medical workers all around the world were running out of time to manage COVID-19. Several studies have been done to understand the disease and ultimately to find possible treatment. Based on those studies, one of the potential treatment was antibody transfer from recovered COVID-19 patients. Passive antibody transfer was a fast and easy choice. The rational use of antibody from the patient's plasma is a natural neutralizing protein to the cell-infected virus and could possibly slow the active infection down. Investigators initiate an intervention study with purposes to produce quality convalescent plasma from the recovered patients, define the safety of plasma for human use and as an alternative treatment to improve the clinical outcomes of severe COVID-19 patients. The study hypothesis is convalescent plasma is safe and could possibly improve outcome of severe (non-critical) COVID-19 patients. This research will conduct the plaque reduction neutralizing test (PRNT) of recipient blood in vitro. The plasma will be collected in the blood transfusion unit (BTU) in Gatot Soebroto hospital. The storage, testing, transfer, and transfusion of eligible convalescent plasma are the authority of Gatot Soebroto BTU. PRNT and plasma antibody titer measurement from donor plasma will be conducted at Eijkman Institute of Molecular Biology. Investigators enroll approximately 10 patients consecutively, who will be admitted at Gatot Soebroto hospital. Baseline demographic characteristics of samples are recorded. Clinical dan laboratory data will be measured before and after plasma transfusion periodically. The measured variables are pharmacological therapy (antivirus, antibiotics, steroids), invasive oxygen therapy, oxygen index, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, and laboratory parameters such as leukocyte count, blood chemical panel include liver and renal function, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, IL-6 and immunoglobulin titer of the recipient and also chest X-ray evaluation. The potential expected risk of plasma transfusions is transfusion reaction (immunological or non-immune related) and transferred foreign pathogen. Investigator will report and treat all adverse events after plasma transfusion has been done. A severe adverse event (SAE) will also report in a special form to sponsor and data safety monitoring board (DSMB). There is theoretically antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) mechanism from COVID-19 whom will receive plasma transfusion to progress to severe immune response. This preliminary study is supposed to provide supporting data and experience of plasma processing to a larger study in the near future.
