Brief Summary:
This study is a randomized, open label clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) plus usual care compared to usual care in approximately 350 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The study will be a 2-arm, non-blinded comparison between open label hydroxychloroquine and usual care. The course of treatment (HCQ) is five days. Participants will be followed to study day 28.
Detailed Description:
The overall objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) relative to standard of care among 350 hospitalized adult patients who have COVID-19.
Primary Aim i. Clinical status (on a 7-point ordinal scale) at day 15
Clinical Status 7-point ordinal scale:
1. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities
2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities
3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen
4. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen
5. Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices
6. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO
7. Death
After enrollment and randomization there will be baseline and then daily assessments of clinical status and test results and procedures during hospitalization. Course of HCQ treatment is 5 days. Participants are followed daily during hospitalization. All procedures, evaluations and treatment, including the hydroxychloroquine laboratory tests, and radiology tests are part of the usual clinical care for COVID-19 patients. This study will only collect the information obtained as part of hospital standard of care. If the information is not available, it will not be obtained by any other mechanism. After discharge there is a follow up telephone call at day 15 and day 28. Follow-up assessment includes any clinical events, adverse events, and clinic or emergency visits or hospitalizations. Participants in the HCQ arm have safety labs: CBC and Comprehensive Metabolic profile scheduled on day 7 and 14.
