Convalescent Plasma as Treatment for Subjects With Early COVID-19 Infection

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
COVID-19
Interventions
Other: Best Supportive Care
Biological: Convalescent Plasma
Registration Number
NCT04456413
Lead Sponsor
Hackensack Meridian Health
Brief Summary

* This is a phase II randomized study of convalescent plasma for the treatment of non-immune individuals with COVID-19 infection at high risk of complications.

* Subjects will be considered as having completed the study after 2 months (+/- 5) days, unless consent withdrawal or death occurs first.

* Subjects will be randomized to receiving convalescent plasma or best supportive care.

* Patients randomized to best supportive care may receive plasma should they require hospitalization for progression of COVID-19 disease.

* The final analysis will be conducted once the last subject completes the 2-month visit or withdraws from the study.

Detailed Description

Overall study design

* This is a phase II randomized study of convalescent plasma for the treatment of non-immune individuals with COVID-19 infection at high risk of complications.

* Subjects will be considered as having completed the study after 2 months (+/- 5) days, unless consent withdrawal or death occurs first.

* Subjects will be randomized to receiving convalescent plasma or best supportive care.

* Patients randomized to best supportive care may receive plasma should they require hospitalization for progression of COVID-19 disease.

* The final analysis will be conducted once the last subject completes the 2-month visit or withdraws from the study.

A total of 306 subjects will be recruited, 153 for each arm. If a patient in the best supportive care arm requires hospitalization, the patient will be eligible to receive convalescent plasma if requested and/or deemed medically appropriate by the admitting physician.

Overall study duration

* The study begins when the first subject (donor or recipient) signs the informed consent. The study will end once the last enrolled subject completes the study (likely a recipient).

* The expected duration of the study is approximately 12 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hospitalization Rate10 Days

The hospitalization rate will be summarized by frequency (%) and compared between the Treatment and Control arms by Mantel-Haenszel test.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Symptoms Resolution2 Months

The time to symptoms resolution is defined as the time in days from therapies initiation to the first documented symptoms resolution as assessed by a local site. Patients whose symptoms are not resolved, or result in death, or lost follow-up on the designed follow-up date, will be censored on that date.

Overall Survival Rate2 Months

Overall survival (OS) will be defined as Rate of death
