Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is an expanded access treatment protocol to treat up to 100 patients with severe or life-threatening, laboratory confirmed COVID-19 with COVID-19 convalescent plasma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: Convalescent Plasma

Detailed Description

This is an expanded access treatment protocol to treat up to 100 subjects with severe or life-threatening, laboratory confirmed COVID-19 with COVID-19 convalescent plasma. Subjects will receive 1-2 units (200-400 mL per unit, not to exceed 550 mL total) of ABO compatible, low isohemagglutinin titer, COVID-19 convalescent plasma. Plasma will be administered one unit per day for up to two days. The duration of infusion will usually take 1 to 2 hours (rate of 100 to 250 mL/hr). The infusion should not exceed 4 hours. Plasma infusions will be administered following standard institutional procedures, including the use of premedications (e.g. acetaminophen, diphenhydramine, etc.) as necessary.
