Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall objective of this project is to develop an emergent treatment protocol using adoptive T-cell therapy for the treatment of severe COVID-19. The central hypothesis is that SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells from convalescent donors who have recovered from COVID-19 can be manufactured expeditiously for the treatment of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Currently, no vaccine or specific treatment has been proven to be effective. While waiting for vaccine to be developed, passive immunity can be acquired immediately by adoptive transfer of SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells from convalescent donors into newly infected patients.

The aim of this protocol is to demonstrate the feasibility of preparing SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells from convalescent donors for urgent clinical use. The specific hypothesis is that SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells can be isolated from the blood of convalescent donors rapidly and efficiently using SARS-CoV-2 specific peptides and an automated medical device for emergent treatment of severe COVID-19 disease.

A minimum of 8 convalescent donors will be recruited from Singapore to attain HLA sharing with at least 90% of the general population.
