1 Dexamethasone Combined With Hydroxychloroquine Compared to Hydroxychloroquine Alone for Treatment of Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Induced by Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19): a Multicentre, Randomised Controlled Trial

Single blind randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of hydroxychloroquine and dexamethasone as treatment for severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) related to coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). We hypothesize that dexamethasone (20 mg for 5 days followed by 10 mg for 5 days) combined with 600 mg per day dose of hydroxychloroquine for 10 days will reduce the 28-day mortality compared to hydroxychloroquine alone in patients with severe ARDS related COVID-19.

NCT04347980 Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult COVID-19 Drug: Dexamethasone and Hydroxychloroquine Drug: Hydroxychloroquine
MeSH:Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult Acute Lung Injury Syndrome

Primary Outcomes

Description: Mortality rate evaluated 28 days after randomization

Measure: Day-28 mortality

Time: 28 days after randomization

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Ventilator-free days (VFDs) at 28 days are one of several organ failure-free outcome measures to quantify the efficacy of therapies and interventions. VFDs are typically defined as follows: VFDs = 0 if subject dies within 28 days of mechanical ventilation. VFDs = 28 − x if successfully liberated from ventilation x days after initiation. VFDs = 0 if the subject is mechanically ventilated for >28 days.

Measure: Ventilator-free days

Time: 28 days after randomization

Description: Mortality rate evaluated during Intensive care unit stay

Measure: Intensive Care Unit mortality

Time: Up to 60 days after randomization

Description: Mortality rate evaluated 60 days after randomization

Measure: Day-60 mortality

Time: 60 days after randomization

Description: Number of patients with pneumonia diagnosed during intensive care unit stay

Measure: Nosocomial pneumonia

Time: Up to 60 days after randomization

Description: Number of patients with bacteremia diagnosed during intensive care unit

Measure: Bacteremia

Time: Up to 60 days after randomization

Other Outcomes

Description: Placement of ECMO during intensive care unit stay

Measure: Extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Time: Up to 60days after randomization

Description: Number of patients who underwent tracheostomy during intensive care unit stay

Measure: Tracheostomy

Time: Up to 60 days after randomization

Description: Number of Prone position session

Measure: Prone Position

Time: Up to 60 days after randomization
