Study finds convalescent plasma therapy ineffective for COVID-19
Excerpt from the Press Release:
In February, the National Institutes of Health terminated an ambitious clinical trial to study the effectiveness of COVID-19 convalescent plasma in treating patients with mild to moderate disease. The therapy, the NIH determined, showed little benefit in an interim analysis.
In a new paper published on Aug. 18 in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers from Stanford Medicine and a dozen other health care organizations detail how a treatment once considered promising did not prove effective.
COVID-19 convalescent plasma refers to blood plasma derived from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 and, as a result, have developed antibodies. Although forms of convalescent plasma therapy have been used as therapy for other infections since the early 1900s, few randomized, controlled trials have set out to evaluate whether COVID-19 convalescent plasma improves clinical outcomes.
