CONCOR-1 Trial

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: blood.ca/en/research/ou…

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 (nature.com/articles/s4159…). A summary of the trial findings is available on our website: concor1.ca

On the Plenary Session lineup at the @CanSocTransMed Virtual Conference this morning - @EmilySirotich presenting on engaging #community in clinical trials (with lessons from @CONCOR1Trial)! #CSTM2021SCMT

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: concor1.ca

Patients with #COVID19 need your plasma! If you have recovered, please donate today: youtube.com/watch?v=lIF7hj…

#ICYMI: What is #ConvalescentPlasma therapy, and how can it help in the fight against #COVID19? Dr. Dana Devine (@DrDanaDevine) explains in this video via @GlobalEdmonton: ow.ly/IFcq50D1EIU @CanadasLifeline @CONCOR1Trial @ubclifesciences

"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: ow.ly/6OSc50COBxF

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. Learn more and register to become a potential donor at blood.ca/help.

@OttawaHospital @CanadasLifeline @OttawaHospital you have been doing a fantastic job with recruitment - thank you for your dedication to @CONCOR1Trial and for helping get the word out about the need for plasma donors!

Did you know that we are #2 site in Canada for recruiting patients to the CONCOR-1 convalescent plasma trial? Canadians who have recovered from COVID-19 are urgently needed to meet the increasing demand for plasma for trials like this one. blood.ca/en/plasma/covi…

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.

Canadians who have recovered from COVID-19 are urgently needed to meet the increasing demand for plasma! @JeannieCallum @CanadasLifeline

14 cities across Canada with a @CanadasLifeline centre accepting #convalescentplasma donations! Donations are urgently needed to support research trials in Canada, including @CONCOR1Trial

100 more patients randomized in 2.5 weeks - sending a big THANK YOU to our amazing trial teams for their dedication and to the #convalescentplasma donors who make this possible! @CanadasLifeline @HemaQuebec @NYBloodCenter

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
