Clinical Trial Summary

This study assessed the efficacy and safety of anti-influenza immune plasma, as an addition to standard of care antivirals, in participants hospitalized with severe influenza A infection.


Clinical Trial Description

Despite antivirals and vaccines, influenza is responsible for thousands of hospitalizations and deaths each year worldwide. Because of this, additional treatments for influenza are needed. One potential treatment may be the use of high-titer anti-influenza immune plasma. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with high-titer versus low-titer anti-influenza immune plasma, in addition to standard care, in participants hospitalized with severe influenza A infection.

This study enrolled people aged 2 weeks or older who are hospitalized with severe influenza A infection. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either high-titer anti-influenza plasma or low-titer (control) anti-influenza plasma on Day 0. In addition, all participants received standard care antivirals. Participants were assessed on Day 0 (baseline) and on Days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, and 28. For participants who were not hospitalized on Days 2, 14, and 28, researchers could contact participants by telephone. Study procedures included clinical assessments, blood collection, and oropharyngeal swabs. ;
