Clinical study for the Evaluation of efficacy and safety of a Treatment with Plasma gained from patients who recovered from COVID-19 infection and given to patients who are currently suffering from a severe COVID-19 infection

Prospective open-label randomized controlled phase 2b clinical study in parallel groups for the assessment of efficacy and safety of immune therapy with COVID-19 convalescent plasma plus standard treatment vs. standard treatment alone of subjects with severe COVID-19

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Assessment of impact of immune therapy with COVID-19 convalescent plasma on severity of COVID-19;Secondary Objective: Assessment of impact of immune therapy with COVID-19 convalescent plasma on • markers for ARDS due to severe COVID-19 infection. • short-term all-cause mortality. • time course of ARDS due to severe COVID-19. Assessment of safety and tolerability of immune therapy with COVID-19 convalescent plasma. ;Primary end point(s): Change in SOFA score from Baseline Visit [Day 1, Visit 2] to Day 8 [Visit 9];Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 8 (Visit 9)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline until EOS (day 61 -3/+21 days);Secondary end point(s): - SOFA score: Mean change from Baseline Visit [Day 1, Visit 2] to all subsequent visits until and including Day 29 [Visit 15] or until extubation, whichever comes first - Rescue therapy: Number and proportion of subjects without rescue therapy until and including Day 8 [Visit 9] - ECMO: Mean number of days without ECMO during the period from Baseline Visit [Day 1, Visit 2] until and including Day 8 [Visit 9], Day 15 [Visit 13], and Day 29 [Visit 15], per treatment group and per subject - Invasive mechanical ventilation parameters and endotracheal Intubation: Mean number of days without invasive mechanical ventilation during the period from Baseline Visit [Day 1, Visit 2] until and including Day 8 [Visit 9], Day 15 [Visit 13], and Day 29 [Visit 15], per treatment group and per subject - Survival: Number and proportion of subjects having died until and including Day 29 [Visit 15] and End of Study Visit [Day 61±3 days, Visit 16] - Safety: ? Cumulated number and proportion of subjects with AE, AR, SAE, SAR, and SUSAR from Baseline Visit [Day 1, Visit 2] until and including Day 11 [Visit 12]
