Summary
This a phase II, proof-of-concept study. In the present study, we investigate if the administration of blood-plasma from patients recovered from COVID-19, could be effective to treat patients who are severely ill because of a COVID-19 infection. The general idea behind the transfusion, is that plasma of recovered patients contains antibodies that could eliminate the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, and lead to a less severe course of the disease, or a faster healing. Simply put, in this study we would like to investigate whether 'borrowed immunity' from a person who has cured from this disease, could be applied to cure other patients more rapidly.
