[ACTUALIZADO] INVESTIGATIONAL COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA – EMERGENCY INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG

Page 1

INVESTIGATIONAL COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA – EMERGENCY INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG Date April 7, 2020 BACKGROUND: At this moment, we are facing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) or COVID-19 pandemic without a proven effective treatment option. Several antivirals are under investigation, as well as other anti-malarial and antibiotic combinations without conclusive data. The use of convalescent plasma has been proposed as a treatment option in other viral outbreaks such as SARS-CoV, H5N1 avian influenza, Ebola Virus, and H1N1. In a small report of patients with COVID-19 the use of convalescent plasma was associated with improved clinical outcomes. The rationale for its use is that the plasma recovered from patients who have recovered from the disease contains antibodies against the virus that could be effective to fight the infection. Since only limited data exits at this moment regarding the effectiveness of this therapy, it cannot be routinely recommended or use as a proven treatment option. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has provided several pathways to administer or study the use of convalescent plasma in COVID-19 patients: • Clinical Trials: Investigators wishing to study the use of convalescent plasma need to submit a request to FDA for investigational use under the traditional IND regulatory pathway (21 CFR 312). • Expanded Access: FDA is working with multiple federal partners and academia to open an expanded access protocol to facilitate access to COVID-19 convalescent plasma. For patients with, or at risk of, severe or life-threatening COVID-19 disease who are not eligible or who are unable to participate in randomized clinical trials, access may be available through participation of acute care facilities in an investigational expanded access protocol under an IND already in place. • Single Patient Emergency IND: For patents who are not able to participate in a clinical trial or in an expanded access program, given the public health emergency FDA also is facilitating access to COVID-19 convalescent plasma for use in patients with serious or immediately life-threatening COVID-19 infections through the process of the patient’s physician requesting a single patient emergency Investigational New Drug Application (eINDs) for the individual patient under 21 CFR 312.310. This process allows the use of an investigational drug for the treatment of an individual patient by a licensed physician upon FDA authorization. This eIND process is not for the use of COVID-19 convalescent plasma for the prevention of infection. We understand that given the circumstances and the design of the healthcare system in Puerto Rico, the best pathway to follow to benefit more patients who could qualify for the use of convalescent plasma, is through the request of a of Single Patient Emergency IND.


WHO CAN DONATE CONVALESCENT PLASMA? According to the FDA, COVID-19 convalescent plasma must only be collected from recovered individuals if they are eligible to donate blood according to federal regulations. Potential donors must have: •

• •

Evidence of COVID-19 documented by a laboratory test either by: • A diagnostic test (e.g., nasopharyngeal swab) at the time of illness, OR • A positive serological test for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after recovery, if prior diagnostic testing was not performed at the time COVID-19 was suspected. Either one of the following: • Complete resolution of symptoms at least 28 days prior to donation • Complete resolution of symptoms at least 14 days prior to donation, AND • Negative results for COVID-19 either from one or more nasopharyngeal swab specimens or by a molecular diagnostic test from blood. Male donors, female donors who have not been pregnant or female donors who have been tested since their most recent pregnancy and results interpreted as negative for HLA antibodies. Defined SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers (e.g., greater than 1:80) • If neutralizing antibody titers cannot be obtained in advance, consider storing a retention sample from the convalescent plasma donation for determining antibody titers at a later date.

The FDA will not provide the convalescent plasma, thus the strategy of collecting plasma from recovered patients should be done through local Blood Banks (i.e. Banco de Sangre de ASEM, Servicios Mutuos, Cruz Roja de Puerto Rico) To our knowledge, Banco de Sangre de ASEM at the Medical Center is already in the process of establishing their institutional protocol with the guidance of the FDA in order to collect COVID-19 convalescent plasma. WHICH PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA? • Laboratory confirmed COVID-19 • Severe or immediately life-threatening COVID-19, for example:1 • Severe disease is defined as: ✓ dyspnea, ✓ respiratory frequency ≥ 30/min, ✓ blood oxygen saturation ≤ 93%, ✓ partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio < 300, and/or ✓ lung infiltrates > 50% within 24 to 48 hours • Life-threatening disease is defined as: ✓ respiratory failure, ✓ septic shock, and/or ✓ multiple organ dysfunction or failure • Provide informed consent


HOW TO OBTAIN AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA TO TREAT PATIENTS USING AN EMERGENCY IND? • For requests that are not highly time sensitive (response from FDA provided within 4 to 8 hours), the requesting physician may contact FDA by completing form 3926 (https://www.fda.gov/media/98616/download) (SEE APENDIX FOR THE COPY OF THE DOCUMENT) and submitting the form by email to CBER_eIND_Covid-19@FDA.HHS.gov. • In the event of an emergency that is highly time sensitive (response required in less than 4 hours) or where the provider is unable to complete and submit form 3926 due to extenuating circumstances, the provider may contact FDA’s Office of Emergency Operations at 1-866-3004374 to seek verbal authorization. o If verbal authorization is given, the requestor must agree to submit an expanded access application (e.g., form 3926) within 15 working days of FDA's authorization of the use. DOSING AND ADMINISTRATION OF COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA • Plasma handling, storage and accountability should follow local institutional guidelines for conventional plasma including ABO compatibility checks and thawing. • The volume of plasma to be transfused will be one full unit ABO compatible COVID-19 convalescent plasma, or at least 200 ml of plasma, based on the initial available data available that was used in similar patients and showed potential clinical benefit. • Plasma should be provided by a registered or licensed blood bank after obtaining informed consent. • IND number and the medical order. Medical order should include the IND number provided by the FDA. • The container label of COVID-19 convalescent plasma units must include the following statement, “Caution: New Drug--Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use." (21 CFR 312.6 (a). • Individual institutional guidelines for the administration of plasma should be followed, including the use of any pre-medications, such as acetaminophen and diphenhydramine or steroids. The duration of infusion will usually take 1 to 2 hours (rate of 100 to 250 mL/hr). Provided by Dr. Noridza Rivera, Hematology Oncology Division Chair (Task Force Collaborator).

ACLARACION: Si usted es un familiar o representante legalmente autorizado a firmar este documento a nombre de otra persona, tome nota que la palabra “usted” en este documento se refiere al paciente. Por favor lea atentamente este documento. Contiene información importante sobre el uso experimental de un tratamiento que su médico ha entendido podría resultar de beneficio para usted. Su médico podrá contestar cualquier duda o pregunta antes de firmar este documento. ¿Que es el plasma convaleciente? El plasma convaleciente es la parte líquida de la sangre que se recoge de los pacientes que se han recuperado de la nueva enfermedad del coronavirus, COVID-19, causada por el virus SARS-CoV-2. Los pacientes con el COVID-19 desarrollan anticuerpos en la sangre contra el virus. Los anticuerpos son proteínas que pueden ayudar a combatir la infección. ¿El plasma convaleciente, me podría ayudar? Se está investigando el plasma convaleciente para el tratamiento del COVID-19 porque no existe un tratamiento aprobado para esta enfermedad y hay cierta información que sugiere que podría ayudar a algunos pacientes a recuperarse del COVID-19. Todavía se necesitan hacer más investigaciones para determinar si el plasma convaleciente podría acortar la duración de la enfermedad, reducir la morbilidad o prevenir la muerte asociada con el COVID-19. ¿Cual es el procedimiento? La FDA ha regulado el uso del plasma convaleciente como un tratamiento bajo investigación y ha facilitado el acceso de este. Su médico solicitará una autorización de emergencia (denominada eIND), lo cual permitirá utilizar el plasma convaleciente en usted. Se le administrará una unidad de plasma de una persona que se recuperó de COVID-19. El plasma será compatible con su tipo de sangre. La administración del plasma se realiza por vena y recibirá un volumen aproximado de 200ml en 1 a 2 horas. ¿Cuales son los posibles riesgos o complicaciones? Las reacciones a la administración del plasma pueden ser similares a las de una transfusión de algún componente sanguíneo como sangre, o plaquetas. Algunas de estos incluyen las reacciones febriles, reacciones alérgicas, reacciones, hemolíticas, sobrecarga de volumen, y transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas. Esta ultima, aunque posible, es de baja probabilidad, debido al cernimiento estricto para evitar este tipo de complicaciones según los protocolos actuales de colección de productos sanguíneos de los bancos de sangre. Su médico determinará si debería recibir algún tipo de premedicacion para la prevención o el manejo de reacciones alérgicas. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Al firmar este documento usted: 1.

Introduction One investigational treatment being explored for COVID-19 is the use of convalescent plasma collected from individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. It is possible that convalescent plasma that contains antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) might be effective against the infection. Use of convalescent plasma has been studied in outbreaks of other respiratory infections, including the 2009-2010 H1N1 influenza virus pandemic, 2003 SARS-CoV1 epidemic, and the 2012 MERS-CoV epidemic. Although the indications are very preliminary at this stage, it appears that COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) may be safe and may have the potential to reduce the duration and severity of COVID-19. Convalescent plasma treatment works because plasma collected from individuals who have already recovered from COVID-19, contains antibodies that could provide passive immunity, which may help patients fight the infection. Further investigation is still necessary to determine if convalescent plasma will shorten the duration of illness, reduce morbidity, or prevent death associated with COVID-19. If this treatment is effective, a hyperimmune globulin pharmaceutical product will be the preferred delivery device for these antibodies. However, it could take several months to manufacture and produce this product. CCP will provide the bridge to future treatment with hyperimmune globulin. Given the public health emergency that the expanding COVID-19 outbreak presents, while clinical trials are being conducted and an expanded access protocol is available, FDA is facilitating access to CCP for use in patients with serious or immediately life-threatening COVID-19 infections through the process of the patient’s physician requesting a single patient emergency Investigational New Drug Application (eINDs) for the individual patient under 21 CFR 312.310. Objectives The objectives of this procedure is to provide plasma from COVID-19 convalescent donors that meets the minimum safety and quality criteria and ensure the safety of the donor, the safety of the personnel collecting and processing the component and the safety and quality of the product. This protocol is expected to change as FDA releases new information in response to the evolving pandemic.

Donor Recruitment The ASEM Emergency Room, University Hospital, Municipal Hospital and other Health Care providers will partner with the ASEM Blood Bank to recruit as volunteer CCP donors to the recovered pCOVID-19 patients. The message CCP donation will be given by treating physicians or public health employees that will contact the patients already discharged from care or newly recovered patients as they are discharged from care. It is important to provide recovered patients of a hard copy documentation of bothhh the initial patient’s positive diagnostic test AND a negative test for SARS-CoV-2 at the time of recovery. This documentation must be provided to the ASEM Blood Bank. The local media also will be asked to deliver public service announcements requesting recovered COVID-19 patients to contact ASEM Blood Bank to discuss the requirements of donation and to make an appointment. Donor Eligibility Criteria and Documentation Documentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection (diagnosis) o Diagnostic test (nasopharyngeal swab) at the time of illness o Written documentation may be hand carried by the potential donor 2. Documentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection (recovery) o Complete resolution of symptoms at least 14 days prior to donation and negative results for COVID-19 from a nasopharyngeal swab specimen or by a molecular diagnostic test from blood. o Complete resolution of symptoms at least 28 days prior to donation and negative results for COVID-19 from a nasopharyngeal swab specimen or by a molecular diagnostic test from blood, if the patient has been hospitalized. 3. Age of donor: between 21 to 60 years. 4. Donor recovery from COVID-19 prior to donation based on testing and resolution of symptoms is necessary for: o The safety of other donors and staff o As evidence that the potential donor is healthy and well on the day of donation, as required by donor eligibility criteria. 1.

Follow the protocol of the Blood Bank for all donors (temperature at arrival, face mask, hand sanitizer) when the donor arrives to the Blood Bank COVID-19 convalescent plasma must only be collected from recovered individuals if they are eligible to donate blood (SOP# 1503) Required testing must be performed and the donation must be found suitable. Donors must be males or female donors who have not been pregnant or female donors who have been tested since their most recent pregnancy and results interpreted as negative for HLA antibodies. Defined SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers (greater than 1:160). A titer of 1:80 may be considered acceptable if no alternative is available. o Since, now, neutralizing antibody titers cannot be obtained in advance, a retention sample from the convalescent plasma donation will be stored for determining antibody titers later. The frequency of donation will be 28 days. If more frequent, the medical director approval is needed. o If collections are more frequent than 28 days, a total protein test and immunoglobulin quantification will be performed every 30 days. The donation will be performed by appointment o
