Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Convalescent Plasma
The investigational product is anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma obtained from former patients identified as having recovered from COVID-19 and obtained by Centro de Hematologia e Hemoterapia do Paraná - Hemepar following national blood donation guidelines and Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) criteria.
Potential donors will be screened using an anti-SARS-CoV-2 serologic assay and antibody levels will be determined.
Participants will receive the standard of care treatment and a single unit of convalescent plasma (volume=200 mL or 400 mL).
|
The intervention group will receive 200 or 400 mL of high-titer COVID-19 convalescent plasma, ABO compatible with the patient, within 24 hours of randomization.
|
Active Comparator: Standard of care
Standard of care treatment according to the institutional protocol.
|
The active comparator group will receive oxygen supplementation, corticoids, antiretrovirals, and/or monoclonal antibodies according to the institutional protocol.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Clinical status on a 7-point ordinal scale
Time Frame: From randomization to end of study at Day 14
|
Patients' clinical status over time assessed by a 7-point ordinal scale from World Health Organization (WHO). Lower scores are seen with better clinical outcomes. The scale categories are as follows: (1), not hospitalized with resumption of normal activities; (2), not hospitalized, but unable to resume normal activities; (3), hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; (4), hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; (5), hospitalized, requiring high-flow oxygen therapy or noninvasive mechanical ventilation; (6), hospitalized, requiring ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), IMV (intermittent mandatory ventilation), or both; (7), death. Proportion of patients with clinical improvement, defined by an increase of two points in the ordinal scale of seven WHO categories. |
