Randomized Controlled Trial to Test if Convalescent Plasma Can Treat COVID-19 Disease
University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine ∙ 08/21/2020 ∙ CTSA Program
Investigators with the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have launched a phase 2 clinical trial to study if convalescent plasma containing SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is effective in treating COVID-19 positive patients who have been hospitalized with acute respiratory symptoms. The trial is part of a collaboration between several Clinical and Translational Science Award hubs, including New York University Grossman School of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
