Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial that will be conducted primarily in healthcare settings and other facilities directly involved in COVID-19 case management. We will recruit healthcare workers and other persons at risk of contracting COVID-19, who can be followed reliably for 5 months. The initial aim was to recruit 40,000 participants and we predict an average of 400-800 participants per site in 50-100 sites. The participant will be randomised to receive either chloroquine or placebo (1:1 randomisation), or to hydroxychloroquine or placebo (1:1 randomisation). A loading dose of 10mg base/kg (four 155mg tablets for a 60kg subject), followed by 155 mg daily (250mg chloroquine phosphate salt/ 200mg hydroxychloroquine sulphate) will be taken for 3 months. If the participant is diagnosed with COVID-19, they will take continue to take the study medication until: - 90 days after enrolment (i.e., completion of kit) - hospitalised due to COVID-19 disease (i.e., not for quarantine purposes) in which case they will stop, or - advised to stop by their healthcare professional for other reasons Episodes of symptomatic respiratory illness, including symptomatic COVID-19, and clinical outcomes will be recorded in the Case Record Form during the follow-up period. This study is funded by Wellcome Trust Grant reference 221307/Z/20/Z.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Genetic loci and levels of biochemical components will be correlated with frequency of COVID-19, ARI and disease severity. Genetic loci and levels of biochemical components will be correlated with frequency of COVID-19, Acute Respiratory Infection and disease severity. Approximately 90 days
Other Assess the impact of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis on number of days lost to work during the pandemic. Number of days lost to work in relation to the treatment arm Approximately 90 days
Other Assess the impact of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis on healthcare costs The trial will collect data on monetary costs associated with the use of healthcare resources and determine the effects between treatment groups. Approximately 90 days
Other Assess the impact of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis on quality of life measures using the quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) The trial will collect data on health-related quality of life using the quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) to determine the effects between treatment groups. Approximately 90 days
Primary Number of symptomatic COVID-19 infections Number of symptomatic COVID-19 infections will be compared between the chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine and placebo groups Approximately 90 days
Secondary Symptoms severity of COVID-19 Symptoms severity of COVID-19 will be compared between the two groups using a respiratory severity score. Approximately 90 days
