Vanderbilt University
Positive test not required (see below)
Passive Immunity Trial of Nashville (PassItOn) aims to understand if convalescent plasma treatment is beneficial for patients with Covid-19. Vanderbilt’s three-part convalescent plasma research program includes identifying patients who have had COVID-19 infections and who have survived; collecting plasma from people who have a high antibody titer (a strong immune response); and treating patients who currently have COVID-19. The first two parts are launching now.
Participants include: those who tested positive for COVID-19, recovered, and are at least 14 days from a negative COVID-19 test; patients who tested positive and are at least 28 days free of symptoms but haven’t had a negative COVID-19 test; and patients who had clinical symptoms but have never been tested for COVID. They will be tested to prove they have it. Additionally, volunteers will need to meet the general FDA guidelines on blood donation to screen for infectious diseases and risk factors.
The VUMC convalescent plasma study is hoping to enroll 250 volunteers.
