SARSCoV2 (COVID-19) Convalescent Plasma (CP) Expanded Access Protocol (EAP)

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 of the Genus Betacoronavirus (SARSCoV2) Convalescent Plasma (CP) Expanded Access Protocol (EAP)

Convalescent plasma has been administered to treat different infectious diseases previously with some success. There is currently no approved and proven treatment options available for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19 virus). Some early data has shown a potential benefit in treating hospitalized patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 with convalescent plasma infusions of fresh plasma donated by fully recovered COVID-19 patients. The antibodies present in the recovered patients' plasma may be of benefit in helping critically ill and infected patients recover from the COVID-19 virus.

Study Overview

• Status: No longer available
• Conditions: COVID; SARSCoV2 Convalescent Plasma
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: SARSCoV2 Convalescent Plasma

Detailed Description

Convalescent plasma has been administered to treat different infectious diseases previously with some success. There is currently no approved and proven treatment options available for the novel COVID-19 virus. Some early data has shown a potential benefit in treating hospitalized patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 with convalescent plasma infusions of fresh plasma donated by fully recovered COVID-19 patients. The antibodies present in the recovered patients' plasma may be of benefit in helping critically ill and infected patients recover from the COVID-19 virus. The purpose of this trial is to provide expanded access to SARSCoV2 convalescent plasma (EAP) collected from matched donors as described to patients with severe or life-threatening illness owing to COVID-19.
