Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this proof of concept study is to provide COVID-19 convalescent plasma to patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 and assess:

* the titer of anti-COVID-19 antibodies in the donors and in the patients before and after treatment;
* the in-depth analysis of immunological parameters in the donors and in recipient before and after treatment;
* the impact of plasma transfusion on the reduction of viral load and inflammation
* safety and tolerability
* clinical efficacy
