Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants will be randomized 2:1 to two parallel treatment arms: Convalescent plasma, and intravenous placebo.
Primary outcome is a composite endpoint of all-cause mortality or need of invasive mechanical ventilation up to 28 days.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The primary outcome is a composite endpoint of all-cause mortality or need of invasive mechanical ventilation up to 28 days. Interim analysis will be performed frequently.
As new knowledge of treatment options for COVID-19 have emerged, the treatment arms including sarilumab, baricitininb, hydroxychloroquine and oral placebo have been terminated.
Conditions
See the medical conditions and disease areas that this research is targeting or investigating.
Study Design
Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.
RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Additional experimental treatments may be added as they become available. Any efficacious treatment identified in this or any other high-quality RCT may become the new SOC after consensus by national and international societies, and, thus, the control arm will change accordingly and in parallel.
TREATMENT
QUADRUPLE
In order to achieve blinding of participants and treating personnel, patients randomized to active treatment will also receive placebo treatment.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Convalescent plasma
Will receive active treatment with convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma (600 ml) as a single dose iv infusion in addition to standard care.
Convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma
Single infusion of convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma (2 x 300 mL)
Infusion placebo
Will receive placebo treatment with saline 0.9% (2 x 300 ml) as an iv single dose infusion in addition to standard care.
Infusion placebo
Saline 0.9% (600 ml) as an iv single dose infusion

* Signed Informed Consent Form by any patient capable of giving consent, or, when the patient is not capable of giving consent, by his or her legal/authorized representatives
Exclusion Criteria
* Participating in other drug clinical trials (participation in COVID-19 antiviral trials may be permitted if approved by sponsor)\*
* Pregnant or breastfeeding, positive pregnancy test in a pre-dose examination
* Any serious medical condition or abnormality of clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study
