About this study

Official title: Convalescent Plasma to Limit Coronavirus Associated Complications: An Open Label, Phase 2A Study of High-Titer Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Plasma in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19

Researchers are trying to assess the treatment potential and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in patients with acute respiratory symptoms with confirmed COVID-19.

Read the detailed description

High titer human convalescent plasma will be extracted from apheresis donations from twenty recently-sick and currently-recovered COVID-19 patients. An open-label, phase 2A clinical trial will then be conducted to administer convalescent plasma to twenty individuals with confirmed cases of COVID-19 to investigate the novel application of convalescent plasma in the treatment strategy of SARS-CoV-2.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. RNA in SARS-CoV-2

    Change in RNA levels of SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal using RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) across time.

    Measured: Days 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 60 and 90 after transfusion

  2. ICU Admissions

    Total number of subjects to be admitted to the ICU after the anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma transfusion.

    Measured: 90 days after transfusion

  3. Hospital Mortality

    Total number of subject deaths.

    Measured: 90 days after transfusion

  4. Hospital Length of Stay (LOS)

    The total number of days subjects were admitted to the hospital.

    Measured: 90 days after transfusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Type of respiratory support

    The type of supplemental oxygen support (e.g. nasal cannula, high flow nasal cannula, noninvasive ventilation, intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation, rescue ventilation) of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma group across time.

    Measured: 90 days after transfusion or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)

  2. Duration of respiratory support

    The total number of days subjects required respiratory support.

    Measured: 90 days after transfusion or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Convalescent Plasma in people with Coronavirus, run by Mayo Clinic.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

RNA in SARS-CoV-2 (time frame: Days 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 60 and 90 after transfusion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Apr 2020.
