Brief Summary:

Randomized controlled trial to analyse adjuvant therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in severe Covid-19 associated coagulopathy and systemic inflammation compared to current standard of care (SOC).

A total of three TPEs (d1, 3, 5) will be performed in the intervention group. Primary endpoint is the reversibility of relative ADAMTS13 deficiency (indicated by the change in ADAMTS13 / VWF:Ag ratio from day 1 to 7).
