Study Summary

This trial will provide convalescent plasma to pediatric patients with underlying conditions who have either been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or been exposed to it. The plasma comes from people who have recovered from the infection. The trial will collect data on the safety and how well the plasma works.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children under 18 with conditions like heart or lung disease, or weakened immune systems. It's also for those who've been exposed to COVID-19 or tested positive within the past few days. Girls must not be pregnant and all participants need a guardian's consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients as a treatment and preventive measure in kids at high risk of severe illness. They'll receive one transfusion and will be monitored for safety and how their body processes it.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include allergic reactions similar to other blood product transfusions, such as fever, itching, chills; however, these are typically mild and manageable with pre-medications.
