About this study

This study will provide investigational convalescent plasma for patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 with mild to moderate symptoms who meet inclusion criteria as judged by physician evaluation.

Following patient enrollment into the study, completion of informed consent and randomization, the patient will receive one unit of convalescent COVID plasma or standard of care. The plasma will be infused in an outpatient infusion center by highly trained and experienced staff. Vitalant will be providing the plasma as per their normal screening and distribution protocols. Patients will be monitored for safety during the infusion and per protocol following the infusion for a period of 28 days. Primary efficacy and safety endpoints will be statistically analyzed and compared between the two groups.
