1 Chemoprophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19) in Exposed Healthcare Workers : A Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial

Since December 2019, the emergence of a new coronavirus named SARS-Cov-2 in the city of Wuhan in China has been responsible for a major epidemic of respiratory infections, including severe pneumonia. Within weeks, COVID-19 became a pandemic. In the absence of specific antiviral treatment, a special attention should be given to prevention. Personal protection equipments may be insufficiently protective, including in healthcare workers, a significant proportion of whom (around 4%) having been infected in the outbreaks described in China and more recently in Italy. Infection in healthcare workers could result from the contact with COVID-19 people in community or with infected colleagues or patients. As it will take at least a year before vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 becomes available, chemoprophylaxis is an option that should be considered in this setting where prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Health Care Workers. The COVIDAXIS trial evaluates a chemoprophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Health Care Workers. This trial is divided into two distinct studies that could start independently each with its own randomization process: COVIDAXIS 1 will study Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) versus placebo; COVIDAXIS 2 will study Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) versus placebo. Upon randomization healthcare workers (HCWs) involved in the management of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases will be assigned to one of the following 2 treatment groups:

NCT04328285 COVID-19 Drug: Hydroxychloroquine Drug: Placebo of Hydroxychloroquine Drug: Lopinavir and ritonavir Drug: Placebo of LPV/r Tablets
MeSH:Infection

Primary Outcomes

Description: An infection by SARS-CoV-2 is defined by either: a positive specific Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) on periodic systematic nasopharyngeal swab during follow-up OR a positive specific RT-PCR on a respiratory sample in case of onset of symptoms consistent with COVID-19 during follow-up OR a seroconversion to SARS-CoV-2 after randomization.

Measure: Occurrence of an symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers (HCWs)

Time: Up to 2.5 months

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Number of adverse events expected or unexpected, related and unrelated to the treatment, notably grades 2, 3 and 4 (moderate, severe and lifethreatening, according to the Adverse National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0) in each arm.

Measure: Evaluation of the occurrence of adverse events in each arm,

Time: Up to 2.5 months

Description: Number of treatment discontinuations in each arm

Measure: Evaluation of the discontinuation rates of the investigational drug in each arm,

Time: Up to 2 months

Description: Treatment adherence rate will be assessed by: measurement of LPV and HCQ plasma concentrations using LC-MS/MS or LC-Fluorimetric detection the count of returned drugs at each visit.

Measure: Evaluation of the adherence of participants to study drug,

Time: Up to 2 months

Description: Number of incident cases of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections among HCWs in each arm. Symptomatic infection is defined as : a positive specific RT-PCR on a respiratory or non respiratory sample OR a thoracic CT scan with imaging abnormalities consistent with COVID-19. These investigations being performed in case of signs/symptoms consistent with COVID-19 during follow-up.

Measure: Evaluation of the incidence of symptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in each arm,

Time: Up to 2.5 months

Description: Number of incident cases of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among HCWs in each randomization arm. Asymptomatic infection is defined as : a positive specific RT-PCR on periodic systematic nasopharyngeal swab during clinical follow-up without consistent clinical signs/symptoms during follow-up OR as seroconversion to SARS-CoV-2 between start and end of the study in HCWs that did not reported any consistent clinical symptoms during follow-up

Measure: Evaluation of the incidence of asymptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in each arm

Time: Up to 2.5 months

Description: Number of incident cases of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections among HCWs in each randomization arm, defined as : a positive specific RT-PCR on a respiratory sample OR a thoracic CT scan with imaging abnormalities consistent with COVID-19 performed in case of onset of symptoms consistent with COVID-19 during follow-up in a participant who need to be hospitalized for respiratory distress. Respiratory distress defined as dyspnea with a respiratory frequency > 30/min, blood oxygen saturation <93%, partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio <300 and/or lung infiltrates >50% (1).

Measure: Evaluation of the incidence of severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in each arm.

Time: Up to 2.5 months

Description: Safety. Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Measure: corrected QT interval (ms)

Time: At baseline, at D2 (only for COVIDAXIS 1) and every week up to 2 months.
