The purpose of the study is to determine if Convalescent anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Methylene Blue Treated (MBT) plasma plus Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) can reduce all-cause mortality versus SMT alone in hospitalized participants with COVID-19 requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) through Day 29.
Biological: Convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 MBT Plasma
Intravenous infusion.
Drug: Standard Medical Treatment
