Purpose
Background:
Objectives:
- To collect plasma (the liquid component of blood containing antibodies) from people who have high levels of antibodies against the novel H1N1 influenza virus because they either have been previously infected with the virus or have been vaccinated against the infection.

H1N1 Influenza Swine Flu |
| Study Type: | Observational |
| Official Title: | A Pilot Study for Collection of Anti-Influenza A H1N1 Immune Plasma |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 1000 |
| Study Start Date: | September 2009 |
Influenza A/H1N1 (commonly referred to as "swine flu") is a novel influenza virus. Most people will not have immunity to it. As of November 15, 2009, worldwide more than 206 countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009. As many countries have stopped counting individual cases, particularly of milder illness, the case count is likely to be significantly lower than the actual number of cases that have occurred. However, compilation statistics suggest that as of November 22, 2009, more than 3 million people worldwide have been infected with H1N1 with at least 8000 deaths attributed to the virus. Mortality likely remains significantly higher than seasonal influenza.
Circulating 2009 H1N1 isolates are highly resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. Additionally there is concern this virus may also acquire oseltamivir resistance that is seen in circulating seasonal H1N1 virus. Due to the limited therapeutic options for influenza and significant morbidity despite treatment, additional therapeutics for H1N1 are warranted. The objective of this protocol is collection anti-influenza A H1N1 immune plasma from human volunteers. This protocol does not administer any investigational product, but rather collects plasma from subjects with a high titer anti-influenza H1N1 2009 antibody titer (convalescent survivors of influenza A/H1N1 infection or recipients of the H1N1 vaccine).
Following screening of potential subjects to screen out those who are not eligible to participate in plasma donations and to determine there likelihood of having antibodies to influenza A/H1N1 20009 by recent infection or immunization, enrolled subjects will receive a baseline physical and laboratory examination. Eligible subjects with high influenza A/H1N1 2009 hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titers will then be scheduled for three (and up to ten) plasma collection sessions. Following testing of the collected plasma for potential pathogens, it may be used as a therapeutic plasma, and/or it may be used for the manufacturing of high titer anti-H1N1 intravenous immune globulin (IVIG). Both options would support clinical trials aimed at developing additional therapeutics for H1N1 infection.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 60 Years |

INCLUSION CRITERIA:
Some subjects may meet both requirements and enrollment should be within 12 months of the most recent event (illness or vaccination)
4. Adequate clinical parameters (all of the following):
