Clinical Trial Summary

This is the first Case Studies article highlight factors determine the effectiveness of Convalescent Plasma Therapy (CPT) in Indonesia, accompanied by supporting data and images before and after the patients received the therapy. This Case Studies gives a huge contribution as CPT still on going as multicentre study and apply massively as emergency approved treatment in Indonesia.

Description:

Eight non-intubated Covid-19 patients confirmed by real-time viral RNA PCR tests were included. Four patients had been administered two doses of 200 mL convalescent plasma (CP) and another four patients had been administered one dose of CP with an antibody titer of 1:320. This study has three goals included to detect the improvement of patient clinical and laboratory conditions, safety of CPT, and conversion from positive to negative results after CPT administration. Convalescent plasma applied within two weeks (13 days) from onset of illness and within a week (6.5 days) from the first day of hospital admission for all patients. Improvements in clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters, thorax photo, negative conversion of PCR, and decreased oxygen supplementation occurred within a week after CPT. Patients with two doses of CP tended to have faster recovery than those with one dose of CP. No severe adverse effects were observed in any patient. This is the first case series in Indonesia showing CPT is safe and well tolerated, and early CPT before the patient is intubated could potentially prevent disease progression, increase the recovery rate, and shorten the inpatient days.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Patients with two doses of CP tended to have faster recovery than those with one dose of CP.	The median time from onset of illness to CPT was 13 days (within two weeks), and from the first day of hospital admission to CPT was 6.5 days (within a week). There were improvements in clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters, thorax photo, negative conversion of PCR, and decreased oxygen supplementation within a week after CPT. No severe adverse effects were observed in any patient.	1 April 2020 - 31 December 2020
Secondary	Patients with two doses of CP tended to have faster PCR negative conversion time than those with one dose of CP	All four patients given two doses of CP became negative in PCR swab but only two of four patients given one dose of CPT showed negative PCR swab result	1 April 2020 - 31 December 2020
