10 Convalescent Plasma (CP) Whole blood collected from individuals suffering illness during the recovery phase Immunogenicity measured by hemagglutinininhibition (neutralizing antibody inhibition) Use dates back to the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic Utilized in many other infectious diseases (Ebola, SARS coronavirus, RSV) SARS = severe acute respiratory syndrome RSV = respiratory syncytial virus Luke et al. Crit Care Med 2010;38:e Marano et al. Blood Transfus 2016;14: MFMER slide-10

EBioMedicine 2017;19: Huang et al. Oncotarget 2016;7: von Gunten et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2009;123: MFMER slide-20

29 Question 2 Which of the following is NOT a proposed mechanism of immune therapies in treating influenza disease? A. Prevent release of newly formed virions B. Inhibit activating proteases C. Direct damage to viral RNA D. Inhibit viral fusion and internalization E. Block binding to sialic acid receptors 2017 MFMER slide-29
30 Convalescent Plasma Greatest experience in influenza Potentially best option during a pandemic Issues with blood products Type & crossmatch required Hyperimmune Globulin HAI Ongoing trials Demonstrated immune response Most time consuming production Potentially dangerous for laboratory personnel HAI **** IgG Quicker availability Readily available Well-known safety profile Benefit extrapolated from theoretical mechanisms Intravenous Immunoglobulin HAI = hemagglutinin inhibition **** = Not compared as monotherapy 2017 MFMER slide-30
31 Should We Use Them? Proposed mechanisms suggest benefit in severe disease Limited scope experiences show potential benefit in varying outcomes May be most attractive for pandemic scenario resulting from new mutant strains Convalescent plasma may be most realistic Infrastructure to operationalize may be biggest challenge moving forward 2017 MFMER slide-31
32 Question 3 Which of the following are safety concerns with the use of convalescent blood products? A. Thromboembolic disease B. Blood borne infection C. Transfusion-related lung injury D. Volume overload E. All of the above 2017 MFMER slide-32
33 Conclusion Immune therapies may provide multifactorial benefit for treating influenza disease Immunomodulatory therapies are potentially a viable therapeutic option for severe influenza in a pandemic situation Limited safety data exist for immune therapies in influenza and must be extrapolated from other indications 2017 MFMER slide-33
34 The worst pandemic in modern history was the Spanish flu of 1918, which killed tens of millions of people. Today, with how interconnected the world is, it would spread faster. Bill Gates, MFMER slide-34
