Severe Patients Biological: Convalescent Plasma
200-425mL convalescent plasma donated by patients previously positive for COVID-19
High Risk Biological: Convalescent Plasma

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Arms 1 & 2: number of critical and severe COVID-19 infected patients who are transfused with convalescent plasma result in lower death rates than the reported fatality rate [ Time Frame: 30 days after initial treatment ]
    To estimate infection-related mortality rates

  2. Arms 1 & 2: number of critical and severe COVID-19 infected patients who survive the infection [ Time Frame: 30 days after initial treatment ]
    To estimate overall survival

  3. Arm 3: number of high risk COVID-19 infected patients who are transfused with convalescent plasma result in lower incidence of progression to severe or critical disease than the reported case rate [ Time Frame: 30 days after initial treatment ]
    To estimate progression incidence rates

  4. Arm 4: number of health care providers who are at risk to exposure to COVID-19 who are transfused with convalescent plasma result in lower incidence of developing COVID-19 infection than the reported case rate [ Time Frame: 30 days after initial treatment ]
    To estimate the rate of infection among healthy persons exposed to COVID-19
