Brief Summary

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

The study RECOVER is a randomized, open-label, multicenter phase II trial, designed to assess the clinical outcome of SARS-CoV-2 disease in high-risk patients (group 1 to group 4) following treatment with anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent/vaccine-boosted plasma or standard of care.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this randomized phase-II study is to gain evidence on the effect of convalescent plasma/vaccine-boosted plasma in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in high-risk patients.

High-risk is defined as SARS-CoV-2 positive infection with Oxygen saturation at ≤ 94% at ambient air with additional risk features as categorized in 4 groups:

* group 1, pre-existing or concurrent hematological malignancy and/or active cancer therapy (incl. chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) within the last 24 months or less.
* group 2, chronic immunosuppression not meeting the criteria of group 1
* group 3, age ≥ 50 - 75 years meeting neither the criteria of group 1 nor group 2 and at least one of these criteria: Lymphopenia \< 0.8 x G/l and/or D-dimer \> 1μg/mL
* group 4, age ≥ 75 years meeting neither the criteria of group 1 nor group 2

The duration of the trial for each patient is expected to be about 3 months, including two days of intervention (infusion of CP/PVP), followed by a follow-up of 3 months. Furthermore viral load is measured in nasopharagyngeal swabs at day 1, 3, 5, 10, 14, 28 or until hospital discharge within 84 days after randomization. Treatment response is assessed daily until day 28, thereafter weekly until day 56, and finally at day 84.

Patients randomized into the standard arm of the study have the possibility to cross over into the experimental arm of the study starting at day 10 (+ 2 days) in case of not improving or worsening clinical condition.

In total 174 patients are planned to be enrolled in the study.

Study Groups

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

Convalescent/Vaccine-boosted Plasma

Infusion of plasma on day 1 and 2 (238 - 337 ml anti-SARS-Cov-2 CP/PVP each)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Convalescent/Vaccine-boosted Plasma (CP/PVP)

Intervention Type OTHER

Plasma from apheresis obtained from donors, who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection or received a successful vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.

CP/PVP infusion is administered on two following days. Each CP/PVP bag contains approx. 238 - 337 ml anti-SARS-Cov-2 CP/PVP for infusion.

Standard of Care

No intervention - standard therapy

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in a respiratory tract sample.
2. Oxygen saturation (SaO2) of 94% or less while breathing ambient air or a ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) to the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of less than 300 mm Hg.
3. High risk due to either pre-existing or concurrent hematological malignancy and/or active cancer therapy (incl. chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) within the last 24 months or less (group 1) and/or chronic immunosuppression not meeting the criteria of group 1 (group 2) and/or Age ≥ 50 -75 years meeting neither the criteria of group 1 nor group 2 (group 3) and at least one of these criteria: Lymphopenia \< 0.8 x G/l and/or D-dimer \> 1μg/mL and/or Age ≥ 75 years meeting neither the criteria of group 1 nor group 2 (group 4).
4. Blood hemoglobin concentration ≥ 8 g/dl.
5. Provision of written informed consent.
6. Patient is able to understand and comply with the protocol for the duration of the study, including treatment and scheduled visits and examinations.
7. Male or female patient aged ≥ 18 years
8. Postmenopausal or evidence of non-childbearing status. For women of childbearing potential: negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Dementia, psychiatric or cognitive illness or recreational drug/alcohol use that in the opinion of the principle investigator, would affect subject safety and/or compliance.
2. Contraindication to transfusion or history of prior reactions to transfusion blood products.
3. Patients with selective IgA deficiency.
4. Patients with mechanical ventilation and/or extracoporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at time of initial inclusion into the trial. Mechanical ventilation is defined as either NIV - non-invasive ventilation or positive pressure ventilation. Enrollment into another clinical trial evaluating specific therapies for COVID-19 is encouraged.
5. Participation in another trial with an investigational medicinal product.
6. Treatment with SARS-CoV-2 convalescent/vaccine-boosted plasma in the past.
