[{"type":"text","content":"RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., May 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADMA Biologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMA) (“ADMA”), today announced it has commenced the collection of convalescent plasma through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ADMA BioCenters Georgia Inc. (“ADMA BioCenters”), from individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. ADMA is an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics for the treatment of immunodeficient patients at risk for infection and others at risk for certain infectious diseases. \n ADMA is seeking US citizens who have recovered from coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19, to donate plasma, which can be used to produce an immune globulin to potentially help infected patients with COVID-19. People who have recovered from COVID-19 can have antibodies in their plasma that may be helpful in treating the virus. Immune globulin is a plasma-derived medicine that is comprised of polyclonal antibodies and is routinely used for the prevention and treatment of certain infectious diseases. Currently, six producers of immune globulin, including ADMA Biologics, supply products to the US market. “During this unprecedented time, ADMA has risen to the challenge of helping confront the growing coronavirus pandemic, while fulfilling our mission to help patients battle infectious diseases,” stated Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Immune globulin and hyperimmune globulin therapy have the potential to be one of the earliest and best treatment options for patients with COVID-19 infections. The key to developing an immune globulin with high antibody levels to COVID-19 is the collection of plasma from patients that have recovered from COVID-19 infection. We encourage anyone who has recovered from COVID-19 without symptoms for 14 days to come forward and donate plasma to this worthy cause.” ADMA is a member of the CoVIg-19 Plasma Alliance, a plasma industry alliance established to accelerate the development of a plasma-derived hyperimmune globulin therapy for COVID-19.
