  • Patient / HCPOA must agree to storage of blood specimens for future testing.
  • Patient / HCPOA is willing and able to provide electronic informed consent and comply with all protocol requirements. If patient is unable to consent due to incapacity, health care POA should be defined and able to consent for the patient.

About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of High-Titer Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Plasma in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 Infection

This is a Phase II study. This research study is being conducted to use convalescent donor plasma in seriously ill patients who have COVID-19.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label phase 2 trial assessing the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with acute severe respiratory symptoms from COVID-19. Symptomatic patients with clinical or radiological interstitial COVID-19 pneumonia and within 21 days of onset of symptoms will be enrolled in 2 cohorts - an ICU cohort and a hospitalized non-ICU cohort.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasmaBiological

    • SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma (1-2 units; ~200-400 mL maximum dose as 7 ml/kg adjusted IBW )
    • Study drug will be administered as a single intravenous infusion

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Mortality

    Overall mortality during hospitalization for COVID-19. All patients were followed for the duration of their hospitalization, sometimes exceeding 60 days, through study completion.

    Measured: Duration of patient hospitalization, sometimes exceeding 60 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Length of Admission After Plasma Infusion

    Length of admission after convalescent plasma infusion for all patients. All enrolled patients, whether they were in the ICU cohort or in the non-ICU cohort, were monitored from the time of consent until the time of hospital discharge. Hospital discharge includes those patients who left the hospital alive and those patients who died during their stay.

    Measured: Length of admission for COVID through study follow-up period

  2. Length of ICU Stay After Convalescent Plasma Infusion

    Length of ICU stay after plasma infusion for patients who were in the experimental ICU cohort

    Measured: Length of admission in the ICU for COVID through study follow-up period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in people with COVID-19, run by Medical College of Wisconsin at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2024. 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 United States. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Apr 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Mortality (time frame: Duration of patient hospitalization, sometimes exceeding 60 days). 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 10 Apr 2024.
