The Convalescent Plasma for COVID-19 Research (CONCOR-1) trial is a collaborative of 🇨🇦 researchers and clinicians, committed to improving COVID-19 care.
New @CanadasLifeline blog post from @JeannieCallum and Research Coordinator Amie Kron - key msg from the @CONCOR1Trial is that #convalescentplasma is not recommended to treat #COVID19 outside of a controlled clinical trial. Read more: https://t.co/LdNFyj5JRq
THANK YOU to all involved in @CONCOR1Trial - patients & family members, plasma donors, research teams, Blood Banks, study investigators, Community Advisory Committee, blood suppliers, & funders. Much knowledge has been gained & further research opportunities borne of this trial.
The @CONCOR1Trial found that #convalescentplasma units with an unfavourable antibody profile (including measures of both antibody quantity and function against SARS-CoV-2) were associated with a higher risk of intubation or death in hospitalized patients with #COVID19
The @CONCOR1Trial found that #convalescentplasma did not reduce the risk of intubation or death in patients hospitalized for #COVID19 compared to patients who received standard of care
Results of the @CONCOR1Trial have been published in @NatureMedicine (https://t.co/Fjqc0P5mib). A summary of the trial findings is available on our website: https://t.co/1tePfAzZg4
Thank you to the thousands of individuals involved in @CONCOR1Trial who helped to advance our knowledge during a pandemic: patients and their family members, plasma donors, research teams, blood bank staff, study investigators, blood suppliers, and funders.
On the recommendation of the Data Safety Monitoring Committee, the @CONCOR1Trial has stopped enrolment. Trial update available on our website: https://t.co/1tePfAzZg4
"After learning that the antibodies contained in my plasma could help others, I wanted do my little part for a really important cause."
#ThankYou for being a vital link in #CanadasLifeline WATCH: https://t.co/ygIEMlO9yS
Last week, we saw the greatest number of patients enrolled - averaging 10 per day, every day. With this uptick in enrolment comes a growing need for #convalescentplasma! If you have fully recovered from #COVID19, please consider helping others by donating plasma @CanadasLifeline
Plasma could be the key to help others recover from COVID.
If you, or someone you know, have fully recovered from #COVID19, you may be able to help others by donating plasma @CanadasLifeline.

561 patients randomized! 71 campuses activated! And
@CONCOR1Trial has expanded internationally yet again by adding our first site in Brazil @Hemorio! Thank you to the CONCOR-1 team, patients, and plasma donors that make this research possible.
With a second wave of COVID-19 in full force, researchers behind a national clinical trial are desperately seeking recovered patients who can donate plasma, and fearing a shortage of the blood product.

100 patients enrolled in the last 18 days - more than 5 per day! If you have recovered from COVID-19, you could potentially helps others with the virus (including the patients in @CONCOR1Trial) by donating your #ConvalescentPlasma to @CanadasLifeline
