Summary of clinical trials in North America (excludes trials that only study donation)

Sponsor Control Participants Population
Hackensack Meridian Health None (single arm) 55

Two tracks:

‐Hospitalized, without mechanical ventilation

‐Hospitalized, with mechanical ventilation

Primary outcomes:

‐First track: mechanical ventilation rate at 7 days from starting treatment

‐Second track: mortality at 30 days

Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation Standard of care 1200 Hospitalized, nonintubated patients
Primary outcomes: Intubation or death in the hospital at 30 days
Stony Brook University Standard plasma 500

Hospitalized patients

(intubation status unspecified)

Primary outcomes: Ventilator‐free days through Day 28 postrandomization (patients who die in this period are assigned 0 days)
University of Chicago None (single arm) 10 Severe or immediately life‐threatening disease

Primary outcomes:

‐Number of consented donors, amount of plasma successfully harvested

‐Number of patients transfused

‐Level of respiratory support (e.g., room air, high flow oxygen, intubation) at 28 days after plasma administration

Johns Hopkins University Standard plasma 150

Asymptomatic, with negative PCR test and

high risk exposure and

higher risk for severe illness

Primary outcomes:

‐Death

‐Requiring mechanical ventilation and/or in ICU

‐Non‐ICU hospitalization, requiring supplemental oxygen

‐Non‐ICU hospitalization, not requiring supplemental oxygen

‐Not hospitalized, but with clinical and laboratory evidence of COVID‐19 infection

‐Not hospitalized, no clinical evidence of COVID‐19 infection, but positive PCR for SARS‐CoV‐2

Baylor Research Institute Standard of care 115

Hospitalized patients

(intubation status unspecified)

Primary outcome: Reduction in ventilation and oxygen support
