Efficacy and Safety of COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma
May 10, 2021 updated by: Institute for Transfusion Medicine of RNM
Use of COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma in the Patients Infected With COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) - Efficacy and Safety
Administration of convalescent plasma obtained from donors with prior documented SARS-CoV-2 infection
Study Overview
Status
Completed
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
There are currently no proven therapeutic options for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Human convalescent plasma is an option for treatment of COVID-19.
Experience from prior outbreaks with other coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-1, MERS and H1N1 shows that convalescent plasma can be effective.
Convalescent plasma will be obtained by plasmapheresis or regular whole blood donation in subjects who recovered from COVID-19 and who are otherwise eligible for donation according to the Institutional protocol.
Recipients will be COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization.
A blood-type matched transfusion of convalescent plasma will be infused and recipients will be followed up.

Description
Inclusion Criteria
Blood donors:

- Minimum 28 days after the last symptom or finishing of the isolation, or
- 21 day without symptoms from the date of the negative SARS CoV-2 test
- Written informed consent to participate in this clinical trial, to donate plasma and to store the specimen for future testing.
- Concentration of COVID-19 IgG antibodies more than 5 AU/ml (Because measurement of neutralizing antibody titers is not available now, storing of retention sample from the convalescent plasma donation is performed for determining antibody titers at a later date)
- Male donors, or female donors who have not been pregnant, or female donors who have been pregnant tested negative for HLA antibodies
- Individuals who meet all regular voluntary donor eligibility requirements
Patients/recipients:
- Age: >18 years
- Admitted to an acute care facility for the treatment of COVID-19 complications
- Patients with severe or immediately life-threatening COVID-19, or
- Patients who are judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease.
- Informed consent provided by the patient or healthcare proxy
Exclusion Criteria:
Blood donors:
- Age : <18 or >60 years
- Female subjects who are pregnant
- HIV1,2 hepatitis B,C or syphilis infection
- Donors ineligible for regular voluntary blood donation
Patients/recipients:
- Age : <18 years
- Contraindication to transfusion (severe volume overload, history of anaphylaxis to blood products)
- Patients who received in the past 30 days immunoglobulin therapy
- Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding
