  • Protocol summary

    All eligible patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit are randomly divided into two parallel groups. In the control arm, the necessary care will be prescribed according to the current symptoms and standard treatments, and in the intervention arm, the patients will receive the survivors plasma in addition to the treatments of the control group. According to the study conditions, blinding is not done.
    All hospitalized patients with acute COVID-19 respiratory distress syndrome who are eligible are placed in the intervention arm. In the intervention arm, in addition to first-line therapies such as corticosteroids, antibiotics, and hydroxychloroquine, patients will receive the survivor's plasma. Patients in the control arm are selected based on information recorded in the university registry system and will be similar to the control group in terms of age, sex, underlying disease and severity of respiratory disease. In the control arm, the necessary care and first-line therapies such as corticosteroids, antibiotics, and hydroxychloroquine will be prescribed according to the current symptoms. Due to the study conditions, blinding is not performed.
    تمام بیماران مبتلا به سندروم زجر حاد تنفسی در زمینه COVID-19 بستری شده در بخش مراقبتهای ویژه که دارای شرایط هستند به صورت تصادفی به دو گروه موازی تقسیم می شوند. در بازوی کنترل مراقبتهای لازم بر حسب علائم و استانداردهای فعلی تجویز شده و در بازوی مداخله بیماران علاوه بر درمانهای گروه کنترل از درمان تجویز پلاسمای بهبود یافتگان برخوردار خواهند شد. با توجه به شرایط مطالعه کورسازی انجام نمی گیرد.
    تمام بیماران بستری مبتلا به سندروم زجر حاد تنفسی در زمینه COVID-19 که دارای شرایط هستند در بازوی مداخله قرار می گیرند. در بازوی مداخله بیماران علاوه بر درمانهای خط اول مانند کورتیکواستروئید، آنتی بیوتیک و هیدروکسی کلروکین از درمان تجویز پلاسمای بهبود یافتگان برخوردار خواهند شد. بیماران در بازوی کنترل بر اساس اطلاعات ثبت شده در سیستم رجیستری دانشگاه انتخاب می شوند و از نظر سن، جنس، بیماری زمینه ای و شدت بیماری تنفسی مشابه گروه کنترل خواهند بود. در گروه کنترل مراقبتهای لازم و درمانهای خط اول مانند کورتیکواستروئید، آنتی بیوتیک و هیدروکسی کلروکین بر حسب علائم تجویز می شود. با توجه به شرایط مطالعه کورسازی انجام نمی گیرد.

    In the control group, patients receive all available supportive and specific therapies based on existing standards. In the intervention group, in addition to similar treatments in the control group, patients were given 500 cc of freshly survivors plasma every other day up to 3 times.
    In the control group, patients receive all available supportive and specific therapies based on existing standards. In the intervention group, in addition to similar treatments in the control group, patients were given 600 cc of freshly survivors plasma.

    According to the clinical condition of Covid 19 patients, the clinical trials execution committee in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences decided to perform this trial non-randomly so the control group with similar clinical conditions to the intervention group was selected from patients registered in the university registry system.

    با توجه به شرایط بالینی بیماران کووید 19 کمیته اجرای کلینیکال ترایالهای دانشگاه علوم پزشکی مشهد تصمیم گرفت این ترایال به صورت غیر رندوم اجرا گردد و گروه کنترل از بیماران ثبت شده در رجیستری دانشگاه و دارای شرایط بالینی مشابه با گروه کنترل انتخاب شد.

    16 patients will be randomly assigned to each of the intervention and control arms. Randomization is that after making specific sequences for each group using specialized software, the assigned code (for example, even / odd) is written on separate sheets. Each sheet is folded and sealed so that it is not visible inside. After each eligible patient enters the ICU, a sheet is opened in order, and according to the code in it (even / odd), the patient is placed in the control or intervention group.
    در هر کدام از بازوهای مداخله و کنترل 16 بیمار به صورت تصادفی وارد خواهد شد. تصادفی سازی بدین صورت است که پس از ساختن توالی های مشخص برای هر گروه با استفاده از نرم افزارهای تخصصی، کدهای تخصیص یافته (برای مثال زوج/فرد) در برگه های مجزا نوشته میشود. هر برگه بصورتی تا زده و مهرو موم میشود که درون آن قابل رویت نباشد. پس از ورود هر بیمار واجد کرایتریای ورود به ICU ، به ترتیب یک برگه باز می شود و طبق کد موجود در آن (زوج/فرد) بیمار در گروه کنترل یا مداخله قرار میگیرد.

    Intervention group: In the intervention group, patients, in addition to the current standard treatments, also receive survivors plasma 500 cc each time. This treatment is started as soon as possible after the patient enters the ICU and within a week and is performed up to 3 times a day. For the preparation of fresh plasma products, survivors with 18 to 60 years old were contacted and tested for CRP, CBC, HBS Ag, HCV Ab, HIV Ab, HTLV1 Ab and COVID 19 PCR if they were without symptoms for at least 10 days. If all tests are normal, 500 cc plasma will be taken from them and are prescribed to patients in the ICU in less than 12 hours. Survivors should have a positive initial PCR test for coronavirus, be male, or have no history of pregnancy if they are female. The donor and the patient must be the same in blood group and Rh.

If all tests are normal, 600 cc plasma will be taken from them and are prescribed to patients in less than 12 hours. Survivors should have a positive initial PCR test for coronavirus, be male, or have no history of pregnancy if they are female. The donor and the patient must be the same in blood group.
    گروه مداخله: در گروه مداخله بیماران علاوه بر درمان های استاندارد فعلی از برنامه درمانی تجویز پلاسمای بهبود یافتگان به میزان 500 سی سی در هر نوبت نیز برخوردار می شوند. این درمان پس از ورود بیمار به ICU در اسرع وقت و حداکثر ظرف یک هفته شروع و به صورت روز در میان تا 3 نوبت اجرا می شود. برای تهیه فرآورده پلاسمای تازه با بیماران بهبود یافته که سن 18 تا 60 سال داشته تماس گرفته شده و در صورتی که حداقل 10 روز بدون علائم عفونت باشند آزمایش CRP ، CBC ، HBS Ag ، HCV Ab ، HIV Ab ، HTLV1 Ab و COVID 19 PCR انجام می گیرد. در حالتی که همه آزمایشات نرمال باشند، 500 سی سی پلاسما از آنها دریافت شده و در کمتر از 12 ساعت برای بیماران بستری در ICU تجویز می شود. بهبودیافتگان می بایست تست PCR اولیه مثبت برای کرونا ویروس داشته باشند، جنسیت آنها مرد بوده و یا در صورت خانم بودن سابقه بارداری نداشته باشند. همچنین دهنده و بیمار می بایست از نظر گروه خونی و Rh یکسان باشند.
