Clinical Trial Summary

Novel coronavirus SARS(Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)-CoV-2 was first identified during the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019 with the now resulting pandemic. Aggressive supportive care is the mainstay of treatment currently and rescue with lung protective mechanical ventilation is essential for survival in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Despite supportive care, mortality is significant in hospitalized patients in the U.S., especially among patients > 65 years of age. Pharmacologic treatments to decrease disease severity are urgently needed. Hydroxychloroquine is currently widely used for treatment of autoimmune disease including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, and it has been used to prevent and treat malaria. In vitro and in vivo antiviral activity towards SARS-CoV-2 has been reported. Since hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades its properties as a drug are well known. The investigators propose a pragmatic trial of hydroxychloroquine in moderately ill hospitalized adults with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia with the hypothesis that hydroxychloroquine reduces severity of acute lung injury caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.


Description:

Novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was first identified during the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019 with the now resulting pandemic. Aggressive supportive care is the mainstay of treatment currently and rescue with lung protective mechanical ventilation is essential for survival in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Despite supportive care, mortality is significant in hospitalized patients in the U.S., especially among patients > 65 years of age. Pharmacologic treatments to decrease disease severity are urgently needed. Candidate treatments with antiviral activity and/or immune-modulating effects include hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), lopinavir/ritonavir, remdesivir, and tocilizumab among others. There is limited high quality clinical data prompting a dilemma of how to use and review potential treatments and ensure patient safety now as the pandemic begins to peak. There are also significant limitations in drug supplies at many institutions. Hydroxychloroquine is currently widely used for treatment of autoimmune disease including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, and it has been used to prevent and treat malaria. In vitro and in vivo antiviral activity towards SARS-CoV-2 has been reported. Since hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades its properties as a drug are well known. Pertinent adverse events to monitor in a hospitalized patient include QTc (corrected QT interval) prolongation, elevation of liver enzymes/acute liver injury, and hypokalemia. Acute lung injury and progressive respiratory failure is the major cause of mortality in SARS-CoV-2 infection. In acute lung injury and respiratory distress syndrome, the severity of hypoxia is categorized by the Pao2/FIO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) ration as mild (200 mm Hg
