A randomized double-blind controlled trial of convalescent plasma in adults with severe COVID-19
CONCLUSION In adults hospitalized with severe COVID-19, use of convalescent plasma was not associated with significant improvement in day 28 clinical status. However, convalescent plasma was associated with significantly improved survival. A possible explanation is that survivors remained hospitalized at their baseline clinical status.TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04359810.FUNDING Amazon Foundation, Skoll Foundation.
