Brief Summary

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

The COVID-19 pandemic has been spreading continuously, and in Brazil, until August 18, 2020, there have been more than 3,359,000 cases with more than 108,536 deaths, with daily increases. The present study proposes to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using convalescent plasma for treating patients with COVID-19 pneumonia without indication of ventilatory support.
