What is this trial about?
Convalescent plasma therapy has been recognized as safe and plasma transfusion is routinely
used in clinical practice. A recent study showed that early administration of convalescent
plasma can decrease the risk of complications in specific high-risk population.
The aim of the present study is to offer convalescent plasma therapy to immunocompromised
patients and older adults in the early phase of a SARS-Cov-2 infection in order to accelerate
viral clearance and prevent complication
What are the participation requirements?
Inclusion Criteria
1. Immunocompromised patients defined as
1. Solid organ transplant ≤1 year before inclusion or treated for acute or chronic rejection episode or
2. Allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients ≤2 years before inclusion or treated for acute GvHD ≥grade 2 or chronic moderate-severe GvHD or
3. Active solid or haematological oncological disease with curative perspectives or
4. HIV infection with CD4<350 or
5. Hypogammaglobulinemia and other severe genetic immunological defect or
6. Auto-immune disease with biological immunosuppressive treatment* or
7. Other significant immunosuppressive condition such as IgG <6, treamtent with Rituximab or other biological lymphopenic treatment AND
- Age ≥ 18 years old and
- 2 distinct ABO group determination and
- Positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 on a respiratory tract sample of ≤ 7 days and days post symptom onset (DPOS) ≤ 7 days at inclusion and/or
- No oxygen requirement (WHO 8 ordinal scale < 4): asymptomatic, mild or moderate disease, or O2 saturation ≥ 90% at room temperature and
- Compatible ABO donor with neutralizing antibodies (NTAB) ≥1 :160 or equivalent according to predefined antibody commercial assays cut-offs (see Study procedures)
- RT-PCR on a respiratory tract sample with CT value<20 or ascending kinetics at the time of infusion (highly suggested but not necessary)
2. Older adults defined as Age ≥ 75 years old or ≥ 65 years old with at least one co-existing condition
- Arterial hypertension under pharmacological treatment
- Diabetes in treatment
- Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2)

- Cardiovascular disease as defined by either known coronary heart disease, history of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or cardiac insufficiency (ejection fraction <40%)
- Chronic kidney disease (GFR<60 ml/min) AND
- 2 distinct ABO group determination and
- Positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 on a respiratory tract sample of ≤ 3 days and days post symptom onset (DPOS) ≤ 3 days at inclusion or RT-PCR on a respiratory tract sample with CT value<20 or ascending kinetics at the time of perfusion and
- No additional oxygen requirement compared to baseline (WHO 8 ordinal scale < 4): asymptomatic, mild or moderate disease and
- Compatible ABO donor with neutralizing antibodies (NTAB) ≥1 :160 or equivalent according to predefined antibody commercial assays cut-offs (see Study procedures)
