| 32770691 | Recently, there have been several reports with inconsistent results after treatment with convalescent plasma (CP) on critically ill patients with COVID-19, which was produced with a neutralizing antibody titer and tested in a P3 or P4 laboratory. […] Here, we report the clinical courses of three critically ill patients with COVID-19 receiving CP treatments by total immunoglobulin G (IgG) titer collection. […] CP was collected by total IgG titer of 160 (range, 200-225 mL), and patients were transfused between 20 and 30 days after disease onset at the critical illness stage as a trial in addition to standard care. […] No therapeutic effect of CP was observed in any of the patients; instead, all three patients deteriorated and required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment. […] A potential cytokine storm 4 hours after infusion of CP in Patient 2 was observed. […] No more patients were put on the trial of CP transfusion. […] We recommend extreme caution in using CP in critically ill patients more than 2 weeks after the onset of COVID-19 pneumonia. |
| 32779705 | Convalescent plasma (CP) is a potentially important therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). […] We measured NAb titers in CP and in patients with acute COVID-19 before and after transfusion through the traditional Food and Drug Administration investigational new drug pathway. […] We performed a single-arm interventional trial measuring NAb and total antibody titers before and after CP transfusion over a 14-day period in hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. […] NAb titers in the donor CP units were low (<1:40 to 1:160) and had no effect on recipient neutralizing activity 1 day after transfusion. […] CP infusion did not alter recipient NAb titers. […] Prescreening of CP may be necessary for selecting donors with high titers of neutralizing activity for infusion into patients with COVID-19. |
| 32792417 | Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy has been used since the early 1900s to treat emerging infectious diseases; its efficacy was later associated with the evidence that polyclonal neutralizing antibodies can reduce the duration of viremia. […] Recent large outbreaks of viral diseases for which effective antivirals or vaccines are still lacking has renewed the interest in CP as a life-saving treatment. […] The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to the scaling up of CP therapy to unprecedented levels. […] Compared with historical usage, pathogen reduction technologies have now added an extra layer of safety to the use of CP, and new manufacturing approaches are being explored. […] This review summarizes historical settings of application, with a focus on betacoronaviruses, and surveys current approaches for donor selection and CP collection, pooling technologies, pathogen inactivation systems, and banking of CP. […] We additionally list the ongoing registered clinical trials for CP throughout the world and discuss the trial results published thus far. |
| 32802787 | Convalescent plasma (CP) collected from patients recovered from the novel corona virus disease (COVID-19) has been considered as an effective treatment method for COVID-19. […] Given these considerations, we believe that a hybrid treatment including both CP and LDRT can trigger synergistic responses that will help healthcare providers in mitigating today’s COVID-19 pandemic. |
| 32837984 | Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy suggested its safety use in SARS-CoV-2 infection; but both CP immunotherapy and NK cellular therapy must be manufactured and utilized according to scrupulous ethical and controlled conditions to guarantee a possible role of these products of human origin. |
| 32840002 | Individuals who recovered from COVID-19 and volunteered to donate convalescent plasma (CP) were screened by NP swab PCR, responded to a questionnaire, and were tested for anti-COVID-19 antibodies. […] If anti-spike antibody is used to assess CP potency, individuals who suffered severe COVID-19 disease symptoms may represent better donors. |
| 32850916 | Historically, convalescent plasma (CP) has been utilized in the treatment of viral respiratory pathogens. […] Critically ill patients with COVID-19 in China and South Korea have been treated with CP given the ineffectiveness of experimental therapies with antivirals alone.

| 32885904 | Convalescent plasma (CP) has demonstrated potential benefit in adults with SARS-CoV-2, but has theoretical risks.We present the first report of CP in children with life-threatening coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), providing data on four pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. […] We measured donor antibody levels and recipient antibody response prior to and following CP infusion. […] Infusion of CP was not associated with antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and did not suppress endogenous antibody response. […] We found CP was safe and possibly efficacious. |
| 32898468 | Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy is a type of adaptive immunity that has already been found to be effective in confronting several infectious diseases from the last two decades. […] For example, CP therapy was used in the treatment of viral-induced diseases like SARS-CoV epidemics, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) pandemics, Ebola epidemics and H1N1 pandemic. […] In this review, we have mainly focused on the therapeutic role of CP therapy and its neutralizing effect to fight against the COVID-19 outbreak. |
| 32900666 | Although, it has been reported to be an effective approach in various preliminary studies, convalescent plasma (CP) therapy has several limitations. […] In this mini review, an attempt has been made to review positive aspects, negative aspects and various limitations of the CP therapy for COVID-19 cases. […] The results of various studies show that CP therapy may be thought of one of the alternatives but while considering it as a therapeutic approach, in light of beneficial effects, the negative aspects and limitations are to be taken into consideration before its administration as a therapeutic agent. |
| 32903199 | Transfusion of convalescent plasma (CP) may provide passive immunity. […] The aim of this study is to test the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of CP in treating patients with COVID-19 across Saudi Arabia. […] Eligible patients with COVID-19 will be recruited for CP infusion according to the inclusion criteria. […] All CP recipients will receive supportive management including all available recommended therapies according to the available MOH guidelines. […] Eligible CP donors will be patients with COVID-19 who have fully recovered from their disease according to MOH recovery criteria as detailed in the inclusion criteria. […] CP donors have to qualify as blood donors according to MOH regulations except for the history of COVID-19 in the recent past. […] We will also test the CP donors for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies by a rapid test, and aliquots will be archived for future antibody titration. […] Due to the perceived benefit of CP, randomization was not considered. […] However, we will compare the outcome of the cohort treated with CP with those who did not receive CP due to a lack of consent or lack of availability. […] Hence, we plan to perform a propensity score matching of the CP recipients with the comparator group patients for the major characteristics. […] A total sample size of 575 patients, 115 CP recipients and 460 matched controls (1:4 ratio), will be sufficient to detect a clinically important hospital stay and 30-day mortality difference between the two groups with 80% power and a 5% level of significance. […] In this paper, we present a protocol for a national collaborative multicenter phase II study in Saudi Arabia for assessing the feasibility, safety, and potential efficacy of CP in treating patients with severe COVID-19. […] We plan to publish an interim report of the first 40 CP recipients and their matched comparators soon. |
| 32905148 | Therefore, we carried out an early systematic review to evaluate the efficacy of convalescent plasma (CP) therapy and its effects on COVID-19 patient outcomes. |
| 32923991 | We assessed outcome of patients with moderate and severe COVID-19 following treatment with convalescent plasma (CP) and the association with IgG levels in transfused CP. […] Antibody levels in CP units were unknown at the time of treatment. […] In 14/98 (14.3%) CP units IgG was < 1.1 (cutoff calibration) and in 60 (61.2%) ≤4.0. […] Treatment with CP with higher levels of IgG against S1 may benefit patients with moderate and severe COVID-19. […] IgG against S1 level in CP predicts neutralization antibodies titers. |
| 32950044 | Aim In this study, we aim to investigate the efficacy of convalescent plasma (CP) according to blood groups (BGs) in the treatment of critically ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19. […] Patients were divided into 2 groups as anti-A Antibody (Ab) containing (BG O and B) and those not containing anti-A Ab (BG A and AB) CP received patients. […] Results: Among 28 patients, 13 patients received anti-A Ab containing CP (BG; B: 6, O: 7), 15 patients not containing anti-A Ab CP (BG; A: 13, AB: 2). […] Duration in ICU, the rates of mechanical ventilation (MV) support and vasopressor support, the case fatality rate and discharge rate were lower in patients received CP containing anti-A Ab than not containing anti-A Ab CP. […] However, only the difference in the rate of MV support achieved statistically significance (p=0.04) Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that the efficiency of CP without anti-A antibody was lower than that of plasma containing anti-A antibody, although it was not statistically significant. |
| 32958501 | Convalescent plasma (CP) tended to increase the negative conversion rate (RR=2.47; 95% CI 1.70 to 3.57). […] Remdesivir and CP might be the potential treatments for patients with severe COVID-19. |
| 32962613 | Besides drugs and vaccines, the role of convalescent plasma (CP) therapy to treat COVID-19 is also discussed. |
| 32965715 | We retrospectively compared outcomes in a cohort of critical COVID-19 patients who received standard care (SC Group) and those who, in addition, received convalescent plasma (CP Group). […] The primary endpoint of improvement in respiratory support status within 28 days was achieved in 26 patients (65%) in the SC Group and 31 patients (77.5%) in the CP Group (p = .32). |
| 33011076 | In this study, we aim to investigate the efficacy of convalescent plasma (CP) in the treatment of severe and critically ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19. […] The data of severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients who received anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody-containing CP along with the antiviral treatment (n = 888) and an age-gender, comorbidity, and other COVID-19 treatments matched severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients at 1:1 ratio (n = 888) were analyzed retrospectively. […] Duration in the intensive care unit (ICU), the rate of mechanical ventilation (MV) support and vasopressor support were lower in CP group compared with the control group (p = 0.001, p = 0.02, p = 0.001, respectively). […] The case fatality rate (CFR) was 24.7 % in the CP group, and it was 27.7 % in the control group. […] Administration of CP 20 days after the COVID-19 diagnosis or COVID-19 related symptoms were associated with a higher rate of MV support compared with the first 3 interval groups (≤5 days, 6-10 days, 11-15 days) (p=0.001). […] CP therapy seems to be effective for a better course of COVID-19 in severe and critically ill patients. |
| 33014364 | A possible solution is convalescent blood products (CBP), primarily convalescent plasma (CP) and immunoglobulins, as an adjunctive therapy. |
| 33023671 | Nose/throat swabs for determination of viral load are collected at day 0 and day 1 (before first CP administration) and subsequently at day 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 28 or until discharge. |
| 33024082 | Convalescent plasma (CP) transfusion has been indicated as a promising therapy in the treatment for other emerging viral infections. […] However, the quality control of CP and individual variation in patients in different studies make it rather difficult to evaluate the efficacy and risk of CP therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). […] We aimed to explore the potential efficacy of CP therapy, and to assess the possible factors associated with its efficacy. […] Each patient was transfused with 200-400 mL of CP from seven recovered donors. […] The primary indicators for clinical efficacy assessment were the changes of clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters, and radiological image after CP transfusion. […] CP donors had a wide range of antibody levels measured by serology tests which were to some degree correlated with the neutralizing antibody (NAb) level. […] No adverse events were observed during and after CP transfusion. […] Following CP transfusion, six out of eight patients showed improved oxygen support status; chest CT indicated varying degrees of absorption of pulmonary lesions in six patients within 8 days; the viral load was decreased to a negative level in five patients who had the previous viremia; other laboratory parameters also tended to improve, including increased lymphocyte counts, decreased C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and indicators for liver function. […] The clinical efficacy might be associated with CP transfusion time, transfused dose, and the NAb levels of CP. […] This study indicated that CP might be a potential therapy for severe patients with COVID-19. |

| 33038227 | The efficacy of convalescent plasma (CP) for the treatment of COVID-19 remains unclear. […] In a matched cohort analysis of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19, the impact of CP treatment on in-hospital mortality was evaluated using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards models, and the impact of CP treatment on time to hospital discharge was assessed using a stratified log-rank analysis. 64 patients who received CP a median of 7 days after symptom onset were compared to a matched control group of 177 patients. […] The incidence of in-hospital mortality was 12.5% and 15.8% in the CP and control groups, respectively (p = 0.52). […] The overall rate of hospital discharge was not significantly different between the two groups (rate ratio [RR] 1.28, 95% CI 0.91 - 1.81), although there was a significantly increased rate of hospital discharge among patients 65-years-old or greater who received CP (RR 1.86, 95% CI 1.03 - 3.36). […] There was a greater than expected frequency of transfusion reactions in the CP group (2.8% reaction rate observed per unit transfused). […] We did not demonstrate a significant difference in risk of mortality or rate of hospital discharge between the CP and control groups. […] There was a signal for improved outcomes among the elderly, and further adequately powered randomized studies should target this subgroup when assessing the efficacy of CP treatment. |
| 33060679 | Impella CP is a percutaneously inserted left ventricular assist device indicated for temporary mechanical cardiac support during high risk percutaneous coronary interventions and for cardiogenic shock. […] Standard implantation of the Impella CP is performed under fluoroscopic guidance. […] Positioning of the Impella CP can be confirmed with transthoracic or transoesophageal echocardiography. […] We describe an alternative approach to guide intracardiac implantation of the Impella CP using two-dimensional and three-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography. […] Intracardiac three-dimensional echocardiography is a feasible alternative to the traditional techniques for implantation of an Impella CP device but careful consideration must be given to the potential limitations and complications of this technique. |
| 33062267 | Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy is a classic adaptive immunotherapy which has been in use for more a century to prevent and treat infections including SARS, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and H1N1 pandemic. […] Moreover, the World Health Organization regarded CP transfusion as the most promising therapy to treat MERS-CoV. […] This review was undertaken to demonstrate the potential of CP in the treatment of the pandemic COVID-19 disease. […] A total of eight studies conducted on CP therapy in patients with COVID-19 were reviewed wherein 25,028 patients above 18 years of age were involved. […] The vast majority of patients reported favorable outcomes when treated with CP with <1% serious adverse events. […] Despite its promising beneficial effects in patients severely ill with COVID-19, CP therapy requires further evaluation in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) as a lack of satisfactory efficacy data from this area certainly enhances the hesitancy with regard to employing this treatment. […] In the present circumstances of unsatisfactory pharmacological therapy and the urgent need for a successful curative remedy, considering the use of CP therapy is reasonable provided RCTs confirm its safety, efficacy, and tolerability. |
| 33078604 | Convalescent plasma (CP) was previously used successfully to treat SARS-CoV-1 and MERS infections. […] Forty consecutive patients who had received CP at our center were included in the study. […] Nine out of 10 patients who have received CP outside ICU have totally recovered from COVID-19 at a median of 9 days, and a half of the patients who needed invasive mechanical ventilation were successfully free of mechanical ventilation support and managed to recover from COVID-19. […] According to the results of this study, CP is an efficient conjunct to conventional therapy against COVID-19 with a favorable safety profile. |
| 33101093 | The COVID-19 crisis and subsequent stay-at-home orders have produced unprecedented challenges to the dissemination of recovery oriented behavioral health services (RS) that support the treatment of those with complex psychosis (CP). […] The telehealth conversion rates of the CP subsample indicated that 90% of CP patients accepted telehealth sessions and maintained their specific treatment plans in the virtual format. […] RSs play an essential role in the treatment of CP and telehealth may prove to be a viable format of care delivery even after the COVID-19 crisis subsides. |
| 33104216 | Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued emergency use authorization (EUA) of convalescent plasma (CP) for the treatment of COVID-19 hospitalized patients based on a non-peer reviewed open label observational study. […] Issuance of an EUA without a proven randomized control trial (RCT) sets a dangerous precedent since the premature action drives health care providers and patients away from RCTs that are essential for determining the efficacy and safety of CP. |

| 33125158 | Convalescent plasma (CP) for treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has shown preliminary signs of effectiveness in moderate to severely ill patients in reducing mortality. […] While studies have demonstrated a low risk of serious adverse events, the comprehensive incidence and nature of the spectrum of transfusion reactions to CP is unknown. […] We retrospectively examined 427 adult inpatient CP transfusions to determine incidence and types of reactions, as well as clinical parameters and risk factors associated with transfusion reactions. […] Our findings support the use of CP as a safe, therapeutic option from a transfusion reaction perspective, in the setting of COVID-19. |
| 33136080 | Respiratory dysfunction is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). […] In children and adults with CP, movement and physical function is always affected. […] Yet, many clinicians overlook potential for impaired movement and function of the diaphragm muscle (DIAm) in individuals with CP. […] Since individuals with pre-existing respiratory disorders are at greater risk for respiratory complications if they contract COVID-19, understanding potential risks to individuals with CP is important. […] In this review we present research on respiratory function and DIAm force generation in children with CP. […] We compare this clinical work to basic science research investigating phrenic motor neuron and DIAm motor unit dysfunction in an animal model with CP symptoms, the spa mouse. […] Finally, we integrate the clinical and basic science work in respiratory function in CP, discussing potential for individuals with CP to have severe respiratory symptoms from COVID-19. |
| 33154232 | Antivirals, immunisation, convalescent plasma (CP) and many more modalities are under trial, and there has been no definite answer to the management of COVID-19 infection. […] CP has been used to treat recent epidemic respiratory infections such as Middle East respiratory syndrome and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) infections with promising results. […] The CP of a recovered individual contains antibodies which neutralise the virus and decrease the viral replication in the patient. […] CP is plasma taken from a person who has recovered from an infection, which contains neutralising antibodies against the said infection. […] Giving CP to susceptible individuals or infected patients is a form of passive antibody therapy and in the case of SARS-CoV-2, is expected to provide protection by viral neutralisation and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity and phagocytosis. […] Till date, randomised controlled studies for the use of CP in SARS-CoV-2 infection are lacking, and many countries have invited institutions to participate in clinical trials. […] The Indian Council of Medical research and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, Government of India, have allowed the use of CP as an investigational drug under a trial basis. […] Internationally, agencies such as the USFDA, American Association of Blood Banks, European Blood Safety and British Blood Transfusion Society have also come out with various guidelines for the use of CP in COVID-19 infection. […] This article will review the current guidelines for the use of CP and compare the various guidelines of different agencies. |
| 33157180 | The following rates of HAI were compared pre- and postpandemic: health care-associated respiratory-viral-infection (HA-RVI), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and CP-CRE acquisition rates, health care-facility-associated C difficile infections and device-associated HAIs.

| 33167389 | In the lack of an effective vaccine and antiviral treatment, convalescent plasma (CP) has been a promising therapeutic approach in past pandemics. […] Accumulating evidence in the current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic corroborates the safety of CP therapy and preliminary data underline the potential efficacy. […] Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permitted CP therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients under the emergency use authorization, albeit additional clinical studies are still needed. […] The imminent threat of a second or even multiple waves of COVID-19 has compelled health authorities to delineate and calibrate a feasible preparedness algorithm for deploying CP as an immediate therapeutic intervention. […] In this review, we evaluate the current status of CP therapy for COVID-19 patients and address the challenges that confront the implementation of CP. |
| 33169114 | High expectations have been set around convalescent plasma (CP) for the treatment of COVID-19. […] Herein we report that RCTs of CP disclose a high methodological variability in inclusion criteria, outcomes, appropriate selection of donors, dosage, concentration of neutralizing antibodies and times of transfusion. […] Therefore, at this time there is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against the use of CP as a treatment for COVID-19. |
| 33202419 | Convalescent plasma (CP) from blood donors with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies may benefit patients with COVID-19 by providing immediate passive immunity via transfusion, or when used to manufacture hyperimmune immunoglobulin preparations. […] Preliminary safety data for COVID-19 CP are encouraging, but establishing the clinical efficacy of CP requires recruitment of patients to high-quality randomized trials and an ongoing international collaborative effort. |
| 33204428 | Several studies of individuals with severe COVID-19 regard convalescent plasma (CP) transfusion as an effective therapy. […] However, no significant improvements are found in randomized clinical trials of CP treatment. […] Until now, data for individuals with mild COVID-19 transfused CP were lacking. […] This study recruited eight individuals with mild COVID-19 who received at least one dose of CP transfusion. […] After CP therapy, the clinical symptoms of all individuals improved. […] The median time for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid test to become negative was 2.5 days after CP transfusion. […] The study shows the potential benefits of CP. […] Meanwhile, CP probably enhances the inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 temporarily in people with insufficient antiviral immunity. […] However, the effects of CP are not permanent. |
| 33208301 | Chronic pain (CP) and cognitive decline (CD) are costly, challenging to treat, prevalent among older adults, and worsen each other over time. […] We are iteratively developing Active Brains-Fitbit (AB-F), a live video program for older adults with CP and CD that teaches mind-body skills and gradual increases in step count. […] We are conducting a feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) of AB-F versus a time- and dose-matched educational control (health enhancement program [HEP]) in older adults with CP and CD. […] This study will answer important questions about the feasibility of delivering a completely virtual mind-body activity program to older adults with comorbid CP and CD, which, to our knowledge, is unprecedented. […] Details on integrating multiple digital platforms for virtual assessments and intervention delivery will inform treatment development for older adults and those with comorbid CP and CD, which is crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
| 33231313 | Six critically ill COVID-19 patients with plasma viscosity levels ranging from 2.6 to 4.2 centipoise (cP; normal range, 1.4-1.8 cP) underwent daily TPE for 2-3 treatments. […] TPE decreased plasma viscosity in all six patients (Pre-TPE median 3.75 cP, range 2.6-4.2 cP; Post-TPE median 1.6 cP, range 1.5-1.9 cP). |
| 33231325 | Although many trials are currently investigating the safety and efficacy of convalescent plasma (CP) in critically ill COVID-19 patients, there is a paucity of ongoing and published studies evaluating the CP donors’ side. […] This retrospective study reports the first Italian experience on CP donors’ selection and donations. […] Eighty-five percent (437/512) of the CP donors were males. […] The average time between symptom recovery and CP donation was 36.6 (±20.0) days. […] Ninety-three percent (460/494) of CP donors at the time of plasma donation had a neutralizing IgG titer ≥1:80. […] This study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of a pilot CP program conducted in Italy. […] The identification of factors (ie, age and severity of COVID-19) positively associated with higher neutralizing antibody titers at the time of donation may help to optimize the selection of CP donors. |

[…] Notwithstanding the infection prevention measures introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in the hospitalised population, attention to CP-Kp infections must remain high, especially in the critically ill setting. |
| 33254633 | from NCP to CP. […] The higher levels of ozone at both PD and DSL on CP might be due to the weak nitrogen monoxide titration, low relative humidity and high visibility compared with NCP. […] Therefore, the decreasing regional transported air pollutants coincided with the emission control of local sources to cause the abatement of haze-fog events in YRD region on CP. |
| 33285298 | The use of ancient immunotherapeutic technique - the convalescent plasma (CP) therapy, may act as an immediate and available option to control the COVID-19 pandemic. […] This review provides a concept and understanding on the CP therapy, its potential to control SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. […] The CP therapy might act as an immediate saviour for society from the virus. […] Although the CP therapy has exert affirmative result against COVID-19 it has not been recommended for long time use in COVID-19 and this review gives support for its possible application. |
| 33285550 | Our aim was to retrospectively investigate the use of LUS in the ED to identify COVID-19 pneumonia (CP). […] A total of 41% patients were COVID-19-positive; 67% of them were diagnosed with CP. […] The ROC curve of the LUS score showed an area under the curve of 0.837 (95% CI 0.75-0.92) and with a cutoff value ≥3 identified 28 of 31 patients with CP and 11 of 15 without (sensitivity 90%, 95% CI 74-97%; specificity 75%, 95% CI 56-76%). […] LUS is a promising technique for early identification of CP in patients who accessed the ED in an active epidemic time. […] The LUS score shows a sensitivity of 90% for CP, allowing to quickly direct patients with COVID-19 to the ED isolation area or to discharge them for outpatient treatment. |
| 33297703 | One of the available treatment alternatives for COVID-19 is the administration of convalescent plasma (CP), blood plasma obtained from people who have undergone the disease. […] CP can also be used for production a specific immunoglobulin. […] Experience from previous epidemic infections, caused by the coronaviruses SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV, shows that CP contains neutralizing antibodies against the virus, which are probably the main source of its therapeutic potential. […] The use of CP for the treatment of COVID-19 spread during the first half of year 2020 in many countries worldwide and relatively common is also in the Czech Republic, where, at the end of August 2020, about 100 patients were treated with CP. […] The production and use of CP is governed by the national multidisciplinary guidelines from April 2020 and the recommended therapeutic dose are 2 TU RP (400-450 mL), resp. 4-6 mL/kg. […] CP is indicated mainly in severe cases of COVID-19, which require oxygen support, ideally within 2-3 days after diagnosis, but our and foreign experience shows a beneficial effect of CP even in moderately severe cases that do not need oxygen treatment. |
| 33313733 | Given access barriers to cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain (CBT-CP), this pragmatic superiority trial will determine whether a remotely delivered CBT-CP intervention that addresses these barriers outperforms in-person and other synchronous forms of CBT-CP for veterans with musculoskeletal pain. […] This pragmatic trial compares an asynchronous form of CBT-CP that uses interactive voice response (IVR) to allow patients to participate from their home (IVR CBT-CP) with synchronous CBT-CP delivered by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinician. […] This pragmatic trial compares the outcomes, cost, and implementation of two forms of CBT-CP as delivered in the real-world setting. |
| 33323550 | However, a vaccine or specific drug is absent up to this date and more attention has been focused on the use of convalescent plasma (CP). […] Several articles have described the CP treatment for patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. […] But a comprehensive systematic review with meta-analysis about the safety and efficacy of CP transfusion in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients has not been published. […] We conducted this study for a better understanding of the therapeutic significance of CP for patients with COVID-19. […] =0.0%) was used on the 9 articles for quantitative analysis showing that the mortality of patients with COVID-19 treated with or without CP was statistically significant (RR=0.57 [0.44-0.74]).

| 33338863 | Convalescent plasma(CP) immunotherapy was an effective method for fighting against similar viral infections such as SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV. […] In the epidemic of COVID-19, a large number of literatures reported the application of CP. […] However, there is controversy over the efficacy of CP therapy for COVID-19. […] This systematic review was designed to evaluate the existing evidence and experience related to CP immunotherapy for COVID-19. […] Second, limited safety data suggested that CP is a well-tolerated therapy with a low incidence of adverse events. […] But, due to lack of safety data for the control group, it is really not easy to determine whether CP transfusion has an impact on moderate to serious AEs. […] Thirdly, for children, pregnant, elderly, tumor and immunocompromised patients, CP may be a well-tolerated therapy, if the disease cannot be controlled and continues to progress. […] Although the results of limited RCTs showed that CP cannot significantly reduce mortality, some non-RCTs and case report(series) have found that CP may help patients improve clinical symptoms, clear the virus, and reduce mortality, especially for patients with COVID-19 within ten days of illness. […] We speculate that CP may be a possible treatment option. […] High-quality studies are needed for establishing stronger quality of evidence and pharmacists should also be actively involved in the CP treatment process and provide close pharmaceutical care. |
| 33350298 | Spasticity is the most common motor disturbance in cerebral palsy (CP).

[…] The titer needed to neutralize 50% of viral activity (NT50) was calculated. cells was inhibited by pretreatment with CP compared to control CP (p<0.001) with control plasma having a median (IQR) 50% neutralization titer (NT50) of 1:28 (1:16,1:36) compared to 1:334 (1:130,1:1295) and 1:324 (1:244,1:578), for medium anti-NP and high anti-NP CP units, respectively. […] The neutralizing activity of CP met minimum FDA criteria with neutralizing antibody titers >1:80 in 100% of randomly selected samples, using a conservative approach that excluded non-specific binding. […] Plasma from donors screened using an immunochromatographic test for IgG antibody to SARS-CoV-2 NP exhibited neutralizing activity meeting FDA’s minimum standard in all randomly selected COVID-19 CP units. |
| 33472681 | It has long been hypothesized that the use of convalescent plasma (CP) from infected patients who have developed an effective immune response is likely to be an option for the treatment of patients with a variety of severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) of viral etiology. […] Subjects are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio (139 per treatment arm), stratified by center, to receive intravenously administered CP (single infusion) plus SOC or SOC alone, and are to be followed for 30 days. […] The results of this study are expected to contribute to establishing the potential place of CP in the therapeutics for a new viral disease. |
| 33491194 | The efficacy of convalescent plasma (CP), an alternative for the treatment of COVID-19, depends on high titers of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs), but assays for quantifying nAbs are not widely available. […] Our goal was to develop a strategy to predict high titers of nAbs based on the results of anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoassays and the clinical characteristics of CP donors. […] A total of 214 CP donors were enrolled and tested for the presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgG) using two commercial immunoassays: EUROIMMUN (ELISA) and Abbott (Chemiluminescence). […] Regarding the studied criteria for identifying CP donors with high nAbs titers: (a) C1 showed 76.1% accuracy if S/CO = 4.65, (b) C2 presented 76.1% accuracy if S/CO ≥4.57 and (c) C3 had 71.6% accuracy if S/CO was ≥4.57 or if S/CO was between 2.68-4.57 and the last COVID-19-related symptoms were recent (within 19 days). |
| 33492637 | Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy is rapidly becoming an established consideration in the treatment of COVID-19 patients though there is a need to critically review this area for proof of efficacy. […] Neutralizing antibodies (NAb) present in CP generated in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection directed against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein are considered to play main role in viral clearance. […] CP infusion may also help in the modulation of immune response by its immunomodulatory effect. […] The FDA allows for administration of CP to COVID-19 patients. […] Though multiple uncertainties exist regarding to its efficacy, appropriate donor selection and NAb titres, the efficacy data of CP use inCOVID-19 is limited having shown hope with early and severe to critically ill COVID-19 patients. |

[…] The control group included confirmed severe COVID-19 patients of similar characteristics who did not consent for CP infusion or were not able to receive CP due to its nonavailability. […] The intervention group participants were infused 300 ml (200-400 ml/treatment dose) CP at least once, and if required, daily for up to 5 sessions, along with receiving the best standard of care. […] CP containing detectable antibodies is a safe strategy and may result in a decrease in mortality in patients with severe COVID-19. |
| 33521696 | However, analysis of additional CP units revealed widely varying NAb titers, with many recipients exhibiting endogenous NAb responses far exceeding those of the administered units. […] To obtain the full therapeutic benefits of CP immunotherapy, it will thus be important to determine the neutralizing activity in both CP units and transfusion candidates. |
| 33527424 | Antiviral treatment with convalescent plasma (CP) could be an alternative treatment option. […] In this case report, we present two kidney transplant recipients and two hemodialysis patients who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 and received CP. […] After CP treatment, we observed an increase of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies (IgG ratio and neutralization titer) and of specific cellular responses. […] After intermittent clinical improvement, one kidney transplant recipient again developed typical symptoms on Day 12 after treatment and received a second cycle of CP treatment. […] Our data suggest that the success of CP therapy may only be temporary in patients with chronic kidney disease; which requires close monitoring of viral load and antiviral immunity and possibly an adaptation of the treatment regimen. |
