NEW YORK: The Takeda Pharmaceutical Co-led group that is developing a blood plasma treatment for COVID-19 has started manufacturing while the late-stage trial to determine whether it works is ongoing, Takeda Chief Executive Christophe Weber said on Monday.

Hyperimmune globulin therapy offers a standardized dose of antibodies and does not need to be limited to patients with matching blood types.
