ABSTRACT
RationaleCOVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) has been considered a treatment option in COVID-19. ObjectivesTo assess the efficacy of neutralizing antibody containing high-dose CCP in hospitalized adults with COVID-19 requiring respiratory support or intensive care treatment. MethodsPatients (n=105) were randomized 11 to either receive standard treatment and 3 units of CCP or standard treatment alone. Control group patients with progress on day 14 could cross over to the CCP group. Primary outcome was a dichotomous composite outcome of survival and no longer fulfilling criteria for severe COVID-19 on day 21. The trial is registered clinicaltrials.gov #NCT04433910. Measurements and main resultsThe primary outcome occurred in 43.4% of patients in the CCP and 32.7% in the control group (p=0.32). The median time to clinical improvement was 26 days (IQR 15-not reached (n.r.)) in the CCP group and 66 days (IQR 13-n.r.) in the control group (p=0.27). Median time to discharge from hospital was 31 days (IQR 16-n.r.) in the CCP and 51 days (IQR 20-n.r.) in the control group (p=0.24). In the subgroup that received a higher cumulative amount of neutralizing antibodies the primary outcome occurred in 56.0% (versus 32.1%), with a shorter interval to clinical improvement, shorter time to hospital discharge and better survival compared to the control group. ConclusionCCP added to standard treatment did not result in a significant difference in the primary and secondary outcomes. A pre-defined subgroup analysis showed a significant benefit for CCP among those who received a larger amount of neutralizing antibodies.
