简要总结
Prospective interventional study, single arm of purified convalescent plasma transfusion as an add on therapy for the standard of care treatment (national guideline) (Oseltamivir (75mg/12 hours for 5-10 days) and hydroxychroquine (400mg twice in first day, 200 twice for 4-9 days) ± Azithromycin 500mg daily for 5 days
详细描述
- Selection of donor according to the eligibility criteria
- Full medical history, concurrent medications, demographic data will be obtained.
- Complete clinical assessment with special emphasis on assessment of resolution of symptoms
- Body weight, height.
- A confirmatory diagnostic test result (e.g., nasopharyngeal swab) at the time of illness or serological test for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after recovery will be collected
- COVID -19 PCR test by nasopharyngeal swab.
- Complete blood count with differential counts
- Viral screening (HBV, HCV, HIV & Syphilis): Conventional testing by chemiluminescence followed by nucleic acid testing (NAT)
- Donor's written consent
- Plasma collection:
- Donor to be connected to microprocessor controlled plasmapheresis machine containing single use disposable kit for every donor.
- A certain amount of blood is withdrawn by pump from the patient and immediately anticoagulated then centrifuged in the machine.
- Blood components are separated into different layers according to the density of each component.
- The plasma layer is collected and diverted into the collection bag while all other components are infused back to the patient, thus ending the first cycle.
- Cycles are repeated until collecting a total of 400 ml of filtered plasma in the collection bag; that is one complete therapeutic dose for one patient in need.
- Pathogen reduction/Viral inactivation by the Solvent/Detergent (S/D) method:
- SD method is the gold standard for inactivation of enveloped viruses HBV, HCV and HIV. All these viruses have a lipid outer coat enveloping the nucleic acid.
- Tri-N Butyl Phosphate (TNBP) acts as an organic solvent to remove lipids from the membranes of pathogens.Tween-20 is a non-ionic detergent that stabilizes TNBP and disrupts lipid bilayers, thus easing the extraction of lipids. Since the solvent is toxic, it is removed using a sterile vegetable oil (Castor oil).
- Measuring remnants of TNBP:
- By chromatography in Ain Shams Toxicology Center.
- Concentration should be less than 10 ppm.
- Screening phase for patients selection:
