Research and trials

NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is supporting national research dedicated to understanding COVID-19 and improving the outcome for patients.

Convalescent plasma trials

Trials have taken place to establish whether COVID-19 convalescent plasma could benefit patients and at what point in their illness they should be treated.

About the trials

Sample tests and other research
