Background And Objectives: The efficacy of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CP) associates with high titres of antibodies. ConPlas-19 clinical trial showed that CP reduces the risk of progression to severe COVID-19 at 28 days. Here, we aim to study ConPlas-19 donors and characteristics that associate with high anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 variants in individuals who had recovered from COVID-19, focusing on two groups based on the time elapsed since infection (1-3 months vs. 4-12 months).
  • It found that recovered individuals had higher antibody levels compared to naïve participants after vaccination, especially after receiving their second dose.
  • Longer intervals between infection and vaccination (more than 3 months) significantly improved the effectiveness of the immune response against various strains of the virus, highlighting the importance of timing in vaccination strategies.

Background And Objectives: There is a concern about a possible deleterious effect of pathogen reduction (PR) with methylene blue (MB) on the function of immunoglobulins of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP). We have evaluated whether MB-treated CCP is associated with a poorer clinical response compared to other inactivation systems at the ConPlas-19 clinical trial.

Materials And Methods: This was an ad hoc sub-study of the ConPlas-19 clinical trial comparing the proportion of patients transfused with MB-treated CCP who had a worsening of respiration versus those treated with amotosalen (AM) or riboflavin (RB).

Tumor molecular profiling upon disease progression enables investigations of the tumor evolution. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of liquid biopsies constitutes a noninvasive readily available source of tumor molecular information. In this study, 124 plasma samples from advanced EGFR-positive NSCLC patients, treated with a first-line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) were collected upon disease progression.
