TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Lagos Covid-19 Convalescent Plasma Trial (LACCPT)
Official scientific title A Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- Controlled Clinical Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Convalescent Plasma for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Hospitalized Patients in Lagos State
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Convalescent Plasma for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Hospitalized Patients in Lagos State: All study subjects will receive standard therapy with the following add-ons: Arm 1 – convalescent plasma infusion; Arm 2 – placebo infusion. A total of approximately 100 eligible subjects stratified 50:50 by the study sites of enrolment will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either convalescent plasma or placebo infusion. All research participants will be assessed for the following: • Clinical measures of safety and efficacy: Day 0 (baseline) to Day 11. • Serum antibody titre to SARS-CoV-2: Day (-1 or 0), 5, 8, 11, and 29 • SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in fluid from nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs: Day (-1 or 0), 3, 5, 7, 9, & 11.
