Brief Summary

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

This is a multicenter open-label randomized study for the early treatment of pneumonia due to SARS-COV2 with transfusion of convalescent plasma.

Patients with pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 will be randomized to receive or not convalescent plasma collected by recovered patients with previous diagnosis of COVID19

Detailed Description

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

This is a multicenter open-label randomized study for the early treatment of pneumonia due to SARS-COV2 with transfusion of convalescent plasma.

Patients with SARS-CoV2 pneumonia not requiring mechanical ventilation (both non invasive and invasive) will be randomized to receive or not convalescent plasma.

Patients in the plasma group will receive 200-300 ml of plasma collected by recovered patients with previous diagnosis of COVID19, plus standard therapy; Patients in the control group will receive the standard therapy. A rescue therapy will be allowed in case of clinical worsening.

Patients will be followed until day n30 from randomization.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard Therapy+Convalescent Plasma

Patients will receive standard therapy + 200-300 ml of convalescent plasma for a maximum of 3 times in 5 days, according to clinical conditions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Convalescent plasma

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Convalescent plasma will be collected by healthy donors, recovered by COVID19 and, after standard preparation and dosage of neutralizing antibodies, it will be administered to patients with SARS-CoV2 pneumonia

Standard Therapy

Patients will receive standard therapy for the treatment of SARS-CoV2 infection, according to AIFA indications

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
