Study summary

This expanded access program will provide access to investigational convalescent plasma for patients at Hackensack University Medical Center infected with SARS-CoV-2 who have severe or life-threatening COVID-19, or who are judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease.

Read the detailed description

This expanded access program will provide access to investigational convalescent plasma for patients at Hackensack University Medical Center infected with SARS-CoV-2 who have severe or life-threatening COVID-19, or who are judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease. Following enrollment on the protocol and provision of informed consent, patients will be transfused with approximately 200-500 mL of ABO compatible convalescent plasma obtained from individuals who have recovered from documented infection with SARS-CoV-2 and who have been found to have high anti-SARS-CoV2 titers. Safety information collected will include serious adverse events judged to be related to the administration of convalescent plasma. Other information to be collected retrospectively will include patient demographics, resource utilization (total length of stay, days in ICU, days intubated, and survival to discharge from the facility.
