There is one clinical trial.
Treatments for COVID-19 are urgently needed. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial and immunomodulatory agent being repurposed for COVID-19 therapy based off in vitro data suggesting a possible antiviral effect. However, HCQ's effect on COVID-19 in human infection remains unknown. To fill this knowledge gap, we will enroll 626 adult patients hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and randomize them 1:1 to a five-day course of HCQ or placebo. Notable exclusion criteria include ICU admission or ventilation on enrollment, prior therapy with HCQ, and baseline prolonged qTC. Our primary endpoint is a severe disease progression composite outcome (death, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, ECMO, , and/or vasopressor requirement) at the 14-day post-treatment evaluation. Notable secondary clinical outcomes include 30-day mortality, hospital length of stay, noninvasive ventilator support, and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) grading scale. Secondary exploratory objectives will examine SARS-CoV-2 viral eradication at the EOT, changes in COVID-19 putative prognostic markers and cytokine levels, and titers of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. This randomized trial will determine if HCQ is effective as treatment in hospitalized non-ICU patients with COVID-19.

Measure: Hospital length of stay Time: 30 daysDescription: Defined as number of days with temperature >100.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Measure: Score on Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) Grading Scale Time: Day 1Description: Grade 1 (mild) = able to be managed with nonparenteral supportive care, Grade 2 (moderate) = at least one of the following present (hospitalization needed for management of CRS-related symptoms, parenteral nutrition or supportive care required, signs of moderate/severe organ dysfunction), Grade 3 (severe) = hospitalization needed for management of at least one of the following (hypotension, hypoxia, organ dysfunction, coagulopathy), Grade 4 (life-threatening) = at least one of the following present (hypotension requiring high-dose vasopressors, hypoxia requiring mechanical ventilation).
Measure: Score on Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) Grading Scale Time: Day 6Description: The scale is as follows: 1) Death; 2) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; 3) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 4) Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); 6) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 7) Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.
