Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if this plasma can be safely used in humans with COVID-19 and to see if it can improve patients' health when they are sick with COVID-19.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This open-label, single arm, phase 1 trial will assess the safety and efficacy of convalescent plasma in severely ill, mechanically ventilated participants with pneumonia due to COVID-19. This study will enroll adults 18 years old and older, including pregnant women. A total of 50 eligible participants will receive 2 units of convalescent plasma collected from ABO-compatible donors who have recovered from COVID-19. Participants will receive convalescent plasma on Study Day 1 in addition to standard of care. Participants will be assessed daily while hospitalized and then on Study Days 15, 22, 29, and 60. All participants will undergo a series of safety, efficacy, and laboratory assessments. Blood samples will be collected on Days 1 (prior to plasma administration), 3, 5, 8, 11, 15, 29, and 60. Oropharyngeal or endotracheal samples will be collected on Days 1 (prior to plasma administration), 3, 5, 8, 11, and 15.

Defined changes as difference between last measured lab value and baseline (day 1) lab value. Day of last measured lab may differ among subjects.
Arm/Group Title Treatment
Arm/Group Description Penn COVID-19 convalescent plasma COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma: Participants will receive 2 units of convalescent plasma collected from ABO-compatible donors who have recovered from COVID-19.
Measure Participants 32
Median (Inter-Quartile Range) [U/L]
-3.00
25. Secondary Outcome
Title Changes in AST Measurement Through Day 29 of Convalescent Plasma Administration.
Description Collected labs on Days 1 (baseline), 3, 5, 8, and 11 (while hospitalized), Days 15 and 29 (if attends in person visit or still hospitalized). Changes measured as difference between last measured lab value and baseline lab value. A negative value indicates last lab value > baseline lab value.
Time Frame Through Day 29

26. Secondary Outcome
Title Changes in PT Measurement Through Day 29 of Convalescent Plasma Administration.
Description Collected labs on Days 1 (baseline), 3, 5, 8, and 11 (while hospitalized), Days 15 and 29 (if attends in person visit or still hospitalized). Changes measured as difference between last measured lab value and baseline lab value. A negative value indicates last lab value > baseline lab value.
