A Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Convalescent Methylene Blue Treated (MBT) Plasma From Donors Recovered From Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
COVID-19
Interventions
Biological: Convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 MBT Plasma
Drug: Standard Medical Treatment
Registration Number
NCT04547127
Lead Sponsor
Instituto Grifols, S.A.
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if Convalescent anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Methylene Blue Treated (MBT) plasma plus Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) can reduce all-cause mortality versus SMT alone in hospitalized participants with COVID-19 requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) through Day 29.

Target Recruitment
200
Inclusion Criteria
  • Hospitalized male or female subjects of ≥ 18 years of age at time of Screening who are being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for COVID-19 for not longer than 48 hours or for whom a decision has been made that COVID-19 disease severity warrants ICU admission.

  • Subject (or a legal representative or a nearest relative or a relative by marriage, as appropriate) provides informed consent (ICF) prior to initiation of any study procedures.

  • Has laboratory-confirmed novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection as determined by qualitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) (reverse transcriptase [RT]-PCR), or other commercial or public health assay in any specimen during the current hospital admission prior to randomization.

  • Illness (symptoms) of any duration, and the following:

    1. Radiographic infiltrates by imaging (chest x-ray, computerized tomography [CT] scan, etc.), and
    2. Requiring mechanical ventilation and/or supplemental oxygen
  • Subjects with no limitation of therapeutic effort (decision on the status and future of the subject).

  • Female subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative test for pregnancy blood or urine human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)-based assay at Screening/Baseline Visit.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Clinical evidence of any significant acute or chronic disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may place the subject at undue medical risk.
  • The subject has had a known serious anaphylactic reaction to blood, any blood-derived or plasma product or methylene blue.
  • A medical condition in which the infusion of additional fluid is contraindicated.
  • Shock unresponsive to fluid challenge and/or multiple vasopressors and accompanied by multiorgan failure considered by the Principal Investigator not able to be reversed.

Convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 MBT Plasma + SMTConvalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 MBT PlasmaParticipants will receive 2 consecutive transfusions of 200 to 250 milliliters (ml) of ABO-compatible convalescent plasma with each unit of plasma, obtained from the same convalescent donor, which will be administered on Day 1 using standard procedures for administration of fresh frozen plasma. Participants weighing less than 45 kilograms (kg) will receive two transfusions of 10 ml of convalescent plasma per kilogram of body weight with each unit of plasma obtained from the same convalescent donor. Participants will also receive all standard of care interventions while hospitalized, from Day 1 to Day 29.
