About this study
Official title: Collection of COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma
Patients who are severely ill with COVID-19 may benefit from receiving plasma infusions from donors who have recovered from the disease and are proven to no longer be infected. Efforts to initiate the collection and infusion of these products to high risk patients have been initiated around the world and the FDA has recently provided information about how this could be accomplished. As the Jefferson Blood Donor Center already has processes to collect, test and process blood, investigators are planning to make efforts to collect plasma for this use should it be necessary. The purpose of this study is to describe the process for identifying and collecting convalescent plasma from donors previously infected with the virus. The research portion on top of this standard blood product collection will the process of identification of subjects and processes by which blood products are processed in this special population. This protocol does not involve the administration of blood products to patients with COVID-19 infection.
Read the detailed description
As described by the FDA on 3/24/2020, convalescent plasma has been used for a variety of infectious diseases including Ebola, SARS, MERS and H1N1 flu. Given that there is no current medical treatment beyond supportive care for COVID-19, there is a great deal of interest in using convalescent plasma for patients with COVID-19. As a first step in this process, investigators are proposing to identify donors and collect plasma with antibodies against COVID-19. While the intention is to use this for patients in the near future, the purpose of this study will be to see if this is feasible and a separate application will be submitted related to the treatment of patients with these products.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Plasma DonationOther
Previously infected COVID-19 patients will be recruited to donate convalescent plasma.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Convalescent Plasma Donation | Other | The goal of this study is to identify individuals who have previously been infected with COVID-19 and collect plasma from those who meet inclusion criteria for convalescent plasma donation. This protocol will allow for the collection, manufacturing, and storage of convalescent plasma that may be administered to patients with COVID-19 in the near future. In addition, it allows for testing of SARS-COV-2 antibody titers in the plasma that has been collected to inform studies assessing outcomes for patients currently infected with COVID-19 who have received convalescent plasma infusions.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of patients who screen eligible for donation (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 May 2021.
