Measure
Convalescent Plasma
The study intervention consists of intravenous administration of 200-500 mL of convalescent plasma administered in two equally divided doses, less than 12 hours apart. Convalescent Plasma: Convalescent plasma from persons recovered from SARS-CoV-2 is being used to treat hospitalized individuals with complicated COVID-19 infection.
Masked Saline Placebo
The study intervention consists of intravenous administration of 200-500 mL of 0.9% saline administered in two equally divided doses, less than 12 hours apart. Masked Saline Placebo: 0.9% saline solution will be used as the Masked Saline Placebo

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to Days 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 21, and 28.

Population: This secondary outcome cannot be determined for 3 participants (3 in Convalescent Plasma, and 0 in Masked Saline Placebo) who terminated on the day of randomization.

Change in the Modified WHO Clinical Status Modified WHO 8-point Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement. The scale is as follows: 0) No clinical or Virologic evidence of infection; 1) Ambulatory, no limitation of activity; 2) Ambulatory, limitation of activity and/or home oxygen; 3) Hospitalized Mild Disease, no oxygen therapy; 4) Hospitalized Mild Disease, oxygen by mask or nasal prong; 5a) Hospitalized Severe Disease, humidified high-flow oxygen; 5b) Hospitalized Severe Disease, non-invasive ventilation; 6) Hospitalized Severe Disease, intubation and mechanical ventilation; 7) Hospitalized Severe Disease, ventilation + additional organ support-pressors, RRT, ECMO; 8) Death. The higher the score, the worse the outcome.

Population: All randomized participants were included in this analysis.

Number of Days until Initial Hospitalization Discharge or (NEWS2 \<= 2 Maintained for at Least 22 Hours) The National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) score has demonstrated an ability to discriminate patients at risk of poor outcomes. This score is based on 7 clinical parameters and ranges from 0 to 20. The NEWS2 is being used as an efficacy measure. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
