About this study
Official title: A Phase I/II Pilot Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Convalescent Plasma (ECP) for Treatment of EVD
A Phase I/II Pilot Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Convalescent Plasma (ECP) for treatment of EVD.
Read the detailed description
This pilot trial will treat subjects in the ECP Group with ECP derived from two donors. ECP will be provided as ECPSDU each comprising 90 - 110mL of plasma from two individual ABO-compatible donors. Two ECPSDU will be administered as immediately sequential infusions. Subjects may receive up to three doses of ECP not less than 48 hours apart. ECP will be provided as Plasma Frozen Within 24 Hours After Phlebotomy (PF24) as described in Section 6.1. Pre-treatment and frequent post-treatment blood specimens for assay of anti-EBOV antibody and EBOV viral load by RT-PCR will be obtained from subjects. The pharmacodynamic effect of ECP anti-EBOV, including neutralization titers, on viral load will be examined in the ECP Group. Changes of individual and treatment group clinical and laboratory parameters with time will be described. Between-group and within-group will examine interactions of clinical parameters, outcome, ECP total dose, EBOV viral load, and anti-EBOV (IgG ELISAs for Zaire GP residues 1-649 and irradiated Zaire virus, and anti-EBOV PRNT). The MEWS will be assessed as a prognostic tool in the Screened Control Group. Efficacy of ECP will be assessed primarily by comparison of survival to hospital discharge between the ECP Group and the Screened Control Group.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Liberia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jerry Brown, MD (+231 880 792 571, fahnloe@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
EBOV viral load in blood of ECP Group as measured by quantitative FDA-authorized DoD EZ1 Real-time RT-PCR using USAMRIID research protocol (time frame: 12 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02333578, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jan 2015.
