Study of the Efficacy of Reinforcing of the Standard Therapy in COVID-19 Patients With Repeated Transfusion of Immune Plasma From COVID-19 Convalescents vs Exclusive Standard Therapy in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Convalescent Plasma with antibody against SARS-CoV-2. and Standard treatment for COVID-19 for Covid19. Completed, enrolled 55 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. The SARS-COV-2 virus is easily transmissible and there is currently no approved treatment with effective results. Although the main epidemiological parameters are currently being studied, apparently the speed of contagion, the incidence and the mortality rate in severe cases appear to be high. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a viable therapeutic option. The present trial is a pilot study with an objective to determine the efficacy of standard treatment reinforced with two repeated doses in two consecutive days of plasma from former convalescent people of the COVID-19 disease already discharged and / or with results in negative COVID-19 screenings, transfused to hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Interventions
Convalescent plasma plus standard treatment for COVID-19. The convalescent plasma is from patients recovered from COVID-19 and negative viremia in the test detection COVID-19. The infusions will be given on days 1 and 2, of the study, after the positive result for COVID-19 of the recipient patient.
The patients will receive the standard treatment for COVID-19, according to guidelines for COVID-19 (retrovirals drugs, interferon-α / β, anti-Interleukin-6 monoclonal antibody, oxygen therapy, etc..)
