Use of Multiple Doses of Convalescent Plasma in Mechanically Intubated Patients With COVID-19

Summary

This study will assess the feasibility and safety of administering multiple doses of convalescent plasma to Covid-19 positive patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) receiving mechanical ventilation. Donor plasma will be obtained from Covid-19 recovered patients. All plasma used in this protocol will be collected following the guidelines issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Ministry of Health in Panama. Every patient recruited will receive one or two plasma units infused on days 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. The primary objective of this study is feasibility. Feasibility will be assessed based on the proportion of subjects who consent and receive at least one dose of convalescent plasma more than once. The investigators will evaluate the safety and feasibility of this study by accounting for any related adverse event. The secondary study endpoints are overall survival at days 14, 28, and 60 after the first dose of convalescent plasma. Respiratory status and overall clinical status will be reviewed during follow-up until day nine and on days 14, 28, and 60.
