Convalescent plasma for severe COVID-19 in cancer patients: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

Updated 2026-09-25 · reconstructed by TrialCurve from a CC BY-licensed publication

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody-containing plasma improves outcome in patients with hematologic or solid cancer and severe COVID-19: a randomized clinical trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Overall survival (secondary endpoint) — Overall study cohort (groups 1–4)

From figure panel a · curves cross-checked by two independent readings · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Plasma therapy not reached; Standard of care not reached. Survival at 24 days: Plasma therapy 88%; Standard of care 86%. Hazard ratio Plasma therapy vs Standard of care 0.73 (95% CI 0.34–1.56).
