Convalescent Plasma for COVID-19 Patients (CPCP) (CPCP)

June 3, 2024 updated by: Vinmec Research Institute of Stem Cell and Gene Technology

Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of Convalescent Plasma to Treat COVID-19 Patients With Moderate and Above Illness

Prior findings in various viral respiratory diseases including SARS-CoV-related pneumonia suggest that convalescent plasma can reduce mortality, although formal proof of efficacy is still lacking. The investigators propose to evaluate intravenous administration of convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from COVID19 survivors in COVID19 patients who are in the medium stage. Supportive data exist for use of convalescent plasma in the treatment of COVID19 and other overwhelming viral illnesses. The study team wants to test the hypothesis that treatment with COVID19 CP will demonstrate salutary effects on COVID19 disease severity/duration, with the primary objective to reduce mortality. In addition, a major secondary objective to reduce the requirement for and/or duration of mechanical ventilation. This phase is to test the safety and efficacy of CP therapy.

Detailed Description

Coronaviruses are among the most common causes of the common cold in humans. In recent decades, coronavirus has caused several epidemics worldwide with a vast number of deaths such as severe acute respiratory syndrome-SARS (2003) with 8098 people infected, and 774 people died over 29 countries. The disease caused by SARS CoV-2 (COVID19) is manifest by fever, fatigue, dry cough, pharyngitis, and headache. In addition to the common clinical presentation of respiratory distress, and increasing frequency of cardiovascular manifestations has become evident.

In this context, the investigators propose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous administration of convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from COVID19 survivors in patients requiring hospitalization for symptomatic "high risk" COVID19 disease. The study team wants to test the hypothesis that treatment with COVID19 CP will demonstrate salutary effects on COVID19 disease severity/duration, with the primary objective to reduce mortality. In addition, a major secondary objective to reduce the requirement for and/or duration of mechanical ventilation. This is a randomized clinical trial comparing convalescent plasma with the standard of care therapy in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in Vietnam. Patients were randomized 1:1 and received 500 ml of plasma with anti-SARSCoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers of at least 1:80.

Written informed consent will be obtained all eligible subjects prior to participation.

Convalescent plasma will be obtained from male donors, nulliparous females, or female donors negative for HLA antibodies at least 14 days following recovery from COVID-19 infection.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
