Anti COVID 19 Hyperimmune Intravenous Immunoglobulin (C-IVIG) Therapy for Severe COVID-19 Patients

Covid19 Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase II/III Clinical Trial Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Anti COVID 19 Intravenous Immunoglobulin (C-IVIG) Therapy for Severe COVID-19 Patients

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Severe ill Patients will be enrolled in the study (n=310) after duly filled consent forms. Recipients will be divided into 2 group, each group contain 155 patients to compare Safety and efficacy of patients in Clinical Trial phase II/III. One Group will receive 0.15g/kg single dose of anti COVID 19 intravenously immunoglobulin (C-IVIG) develop from convalescent plasma of recovered patients from COVID 19, along with Standard of care. The Comparator group will only receive standard of Care

Clinical Trial Description

The research team at Dow University of Health Sciences has purified immunoglobulin (both SARS-CoV 2 antibodies and existing antibodies) from convalescent plasma of COVID19 individuals and pooled it to prepare IVIG formulation to treat severe and critically ill COVID-19 patients. Phase I/II trial was completed and showed potential safety and efficacy of the drug Anti COVID-19 intravenous immunoglobulin (C-IVIG) in severe and critical patients with COVID-19.

This trial's aim is to investigate the safety and efficacy of passive immunization in severe COVID-19 patients in phase II/III. The trial will be a randomized, single-blinded, superiority trial, through parallel-group design. The participant will either receive C-IVIG with Standard of care or receive only Standard of care. The study will consist of 310 participants of which 155 will receive a single dose of C-IVIG (0.15g/kg) with the standard of care and 155 will receive only the standard of care. Standard of care is standard hospital care which includes airway support, anti-viral medication, antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, hemodynamic support, steroids, painkillers, and antipyretics.

Randomized test patients will receive a single dose of C-IVIG in the following two dosage groups:

Group 1 (Test): Severe COVID-19 patients: Single dose of 0.15g/Kg with standard hospital care

Group 2 (Comparator): Severe COVID-19 patients: only standard hospital care only ;
